This looks like an easier way to give yourself USB ports on your plug sockets and probably a bit cheaper buying a USB faceplate, plus you gain a socket. Seems to be win/win to me.

How can you call these rubbish because your sockets are in the skirting, any house built in last 20+ years will have high enough sockets

They're rubbish because of YOUR skirting?
Genius.

I can't even be bothered to read the comments. I know someone is going to say it isn't CE certified, USB underpowered, dangerous and you can get cheaper sockets that you have to wire in.
In fact I'm not sure why I bothered even commenting on a deal i am not interested in.
Oh no! I think I am infected with the disease of HUKD......

Oh - I thought you were refering to something that made them safer - not to do with how much to run!

Oh you won't notice the difference in your electricity bills, but efficiency ratings are constantly being improved for stand-alone chargers so I don't understand why they don't apply to these too.

these are rubbish. My sockes are skirting height and too low to plug this in.

Can you elaborate - agree that seems to be a bit of histeria around these non branded but given leaving on 24x7 I would prob buy a better one for some spots in the house

I'm surprised there hasn't been the mandatory "this is guaranteed to blow your house up!" comment yet.

From CPC, that's unlikely, but I have to add my mandatory "there is no efficiency rating" comment.

I'm pretty sure I read on Facebook that these are guaranteed to blow your house up...

Heat added.
It states 2.1A total output for the USB sockets. Does it supply 2.1A if only one USB socket is in use or each socket gives a max output of 1.05A?
Do these things exist which can give ~ 2A to each USB when both are in use?
Thanks

Possibly, although I did purchase a double socket faceplate with 3.1A (shared between a pair of USB ports) yesterday.

It's a shared 2.1A not Volts. it will always be 5V.
the 2.1A usually means your device will charge quicker. plug 2 devices in could slow down the charge rate.

Oops meant to say amps. One of those situations where you are thinking something but say/do something else! I've now edited my previous comment.

Well add 200 cable ties and you get the plug and 200 cable ties for £6.05!!!

This sort would probably fit, but it is only 1Amp and 1 mains socket:- http://cpc.farnell.com/masterplug/srgausbpb/surge-adaptor-usb-blk/dp/PL14251
