Review: The USB ready Powerboard from HPM

Can’t say I’ve reviewed a powerboard before, but hey – there’s a first time for everything right?

This one is from HPM – a Legrand brand and it’s available at Bunnings so worth a shot.

The exact one I have is different to the one at Bunnings – there you’ll find a four outlet powerboard, each outlet has its own power switch.

But where they are similar is their USB outputs.

There is one standard USB port, and one USB-C – so this is a future-ready powerboard for sure.

You can charge one device at 1.0A, 2.1A for a tablet, or power two tablets with its maximum 5A output.

Aside from that, you’re getting surge protection for all the devices connected.

Just shy of $45 – for plenty of power, and good device protection.
