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.
