Review: MASTERPLUG Surge Protected Adaptor with USB

One of the most annoying aspects about technology is the sheer number of cables, USB wires and chargers needed to keep on top of everything. When I’ve run out of USB ports on my laptop and my iPhone has hit 2%, there’s usually a scramble around the house to find a free charge point.

But then I came across this glossy black plug adaptor that allows me to charge my laptop at the same time as two other USB products (which covers all your Apple products). Just pop your USB connectors in the top, and plug your laptop in as normal.

Additionally, the MASTERPLUG Surge Protected Adaptor with USB is equipped with a power surge protector, so you can avoid harmful voltage spikes.

It might not be the most exciting gadget you’ll ever buy, but it’ll certainly be one of the most useful (particularly if you’re packing light for a holiday).

I picked it up for around £6 from Sainsburys, but you can also get it from Dixons and PC World.
