DEWENWILS 6 Way Surge Protected Extension Lead with 3m Cord and Wall Mount

What it is

The DEWENWILS 6 Way Surge Protected Extension Lead is a 6-outlet power strip designed to help you manage multiple devices from a single socket. It features individual switches for each outlet and indicator lights to show which outlets are active, giving you better control over power usage without leaving everything energised all the time.

How it works

Plug the unit into a mains socket and switch on the outlets you need. The 3-metre cord lets you reach distant sockets in larger rooms or offices, while the wall-mount capability provides flexibility in positioning. The built-in surge protection (270J) helps defend connected gear against spikes and fluctuations, and the 13A resettable circuit breaker protects against overload.

What to note

This extension lead is rated 13A/250V/3250W. It includes a safety shutter to help protect children from accidental electric shocks and a spare fuse for additional protection. The power strip is designed for everyday mains devices such as computers, monitors, printers and mobile devices.

Who it’s for

It suits home offices, study nooks, or living spaces where several devices need power from a single wall outlet. If you frequently need to plug in multiple items in a room without easy access to sockets, this can simplify setup.

Pros

• Six individual outlets allow targeted control of power usage via separate switches.
• Indicator lights make it easy to see which devices are powered.
• 270J surge protection plus a resettable 13A breaker offers basic protection for everyday electronics.
• 3m cord increases reach, useful for larger rooms or behind furniture.
• Wall-mountable with mounting screws provided adds installation flexibility.

Cons / Limitations

• The surge protection rating of 270J is adequate for typical home use but may be limited for high-energy equipment or critical devices. If you rely on heavy or sensitive gear, you might want to review whether this level of protection meets your needs.
• No USB charging ports are included, so dedicated USB chargers would require a separate adaptor.
• The safety shutter is a helpful feature, but relying on a single surge protector for multiple high-demand devices is not a substitute for a purpose-built UPS in data-critical setups.

Before you buy

• Consider the layout of your space to ensure the 3m cord provides the required reach.
• Check that the combined load of devices plugged into all six outlets stays within the 3250W limit to avoid tripping the breaker.
• If your room requires frequent repositioning, the wall-mount option can be advantageous, but ensure there is access to a power point for initial setup.

How it compares (in context)

For a straightforward multi-outlet setup, this DEWENWILS model provides individual switches and a sensible protection scheme without extra frills. If you need greater surge capacity or networked smart control, you’d typically look at higher-end strips or alternatives with advanced surge specs, multiple USB ports, or integration with smart home ecosystems. If your priority is simplicity and reliable all-in-one power distribution for everyday devices, this unit fits that niche.

Should you buy it?

A solid pick if you need a reasonably priced, wall-mountable six-outlet extension with individual control and basic protection for typical home or small office devices. It may not be ideal if you require high surge tolerance, USB charging, or smart features. Consider your room size, device load, and whether the 3m cord and wall-mount capability align with your setup.
