My maths says nine times.

As with any extension lead, the advice would be that it is fine for low powered consumer appliances - but don't go plugging 3 washing machines, 2 dishwashers, 3 kettles, 1 pair of straighteners and a hairdryer in to it.

Good advice, the important thing is not how many items are connected, but that the total load does not exceed the rating for either the adapter itself or a mains outlet, which based on the fact it's fitted with a 13amp fuse I'd assume can use the full 3000w maximum socket load.Obviously these kind of things are usually used with fairly low wattage consumer electronics, so shouldn't be an issue, it's domestic appliances which are generally higher wattage, and actually not so affected by power surges.

Don't these tower extensions fall over when fully plugged?

of course i have a fridge on mine combined with all you listed it's way under 3000 watts btw i have a 12 way plug

use this http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/overloading-electrical-sockets.asp click get started you will be shocked how little them devices use

As I'm sure you know, the issue with hover boards is the poor electronics within the boards themselves! I should therefore add: don't plug anything dodgy in either, whether into the wall or an extension!!

-tv - depends: if its a LED screen it will be minimal (<100w), if its an old CRT it could be substantial!
-ps4 - 150w max
-xbone - 120w max
-xbox360 - 90w max (S model), 180w max (phat)
-PS3 - 85w max (Slim), 190w max (phat)
-speakers - entirely depends on the model of speaker
-printer - average is around 30-50w

Even if they're all turned on at once, I wouldn't be particularly worried with that load. Though please note, I'm not an electrical engineer so do your own research before doing so. I accept no liability...yada yada...

Is it not dangerous having so many items connected to one extension lead?

Thumbnail looked phallic. Time for a nap I think...

Is that per socket? I'm just thinking is the 3000W for each socket of a twin outlet or just that point combined?

and some people worry about hover boards? :wink:

Would it be sensible to have
-tv
-ps4
-xbone
-xbox360
-PS3
-speakers
-printer

all plugged into one of these?

Your statement is correct, but irrelevant to the claim made in the blurb.

The blurb's statement can be reworded to: You will add an additional ten sockets to your one socket.

This statement is wrong because you have 10 usable sockets not 11.

AndyRoyd is right. The key is in the word "extended".

If you have one socket initially and with this device ten, then you have EXTENDED (increased) your "connectivity" (read: sockets) by 9.

This gives you the sum 9/1. Which equals 9, not 10.

Non surge model :smiley:

​Yes, but you are already using that wall socket. You add the extension to that socket, plus the one you were already using, you have 9 extras, not 10 :-)

Isn't that a pendant

Wots a pedant? :neutral_face: Dont they hang on chains around ladies necks?

Before you had 1 socket and with this you can have 10. I'd say that was 10 times as many.

No, that would be add nine. It is correctly stated as it is. Ten times one equals ten. Sad to be a pedant on a Sunday morning

2 days ago I order a 10 plug that cost me £30 from amazon.......heat from me!

My maths says nine times.
