Customers Say
Users appreciate the compact design and dual functionality of this plug with USB ports, allowing for simultaneous charging of devices while retaining a socket. However, some report minor buzzing and slower charging speeds.

Fantastic.
This is great it doesn't stick out from the wall as much as previous ones I have had, also the light to show it is on is great, I have it in the bedroom and it acts like a nightlight.

Handy
Handy little plug. Only downside is a slight buzzing when the USB sockets are used which is mildly irritating.

Pablo, 55 - 64
Very pleased with product.
Perfect for charging via USB without losing mains socket, especially over the Christmas period with more and more decorations requiring USB connections. Plus, it's compact size means no more ugly adapters.

Useful Plug
Bought this plug before Christmas, because I have a lot of appliances that need charging, usually at the same time. Happy with it so far.

I bought this 3 weeks ago. It is brilliant as a multi use plug and it only uses 1 socket. I do not know how I managed before.

Hi BOFH, thank you for your enquiry.
It depends why the monitor is being affected, it may not be an excess of Voltage but an imbalance between Live and Neutral levels (which this protector cannot do anything about).
If it _is_ a Voltage spike then it would need to exceed 275V for this protector to redirect any of it to Earth, so it depends on how much power the motor would be dumping into the circuits when it stops running.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.

Hi CustQs, thank you for your enquiry.
We cannot advise you on Energenie products as we don't make them so have no access to their technical information, you would need to ask the question on the adaptor listing so they can advise you directly.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello,
Yes that is fine to use this for an electric toothbrush
Kind regards

Hi Doggy, thank you for your enquiry.
As long as your vape manages its own charging and will stop demanding power when the battery is fully charged (some don't do this) then it should be alright.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello Secret Squirrel,
Masterplug USB Surge Adaptor
The USB slots output is rated at 5V.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Leigh, thank you for your enquiry.
We don't know of any USB charged devices which are unable to utilise the outputs of this adaptor.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi JBman, thank you for your enquiry.
The adaptor as a whole is Surge Protected, so anything plugged into either the mains socket on the front or the USBs on top will be beyond that protection.
In addition, USB A has a fixed maximum output of 5V so this could be considered a secondary level of protection.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Jeurn, thank you for your enquiry.
There are several different fast / rapid charge standards, operating slightly differently to each other and copyrighted by the company which developed them.
The USB max output is 2.1A at 5V so 10.5W, if you have a device which requires less than this then it will charge at its maximum standard speed, if it needs more then it won't achieve maximum standard speed.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Susan, thank you for your enquiry.
As with all standard USB A sockets the output is set at 5V.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Ktl, thank you for your enquiry.
No, there is no sounder inside the Surge Protected USB power adaptor.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
