Customer Review

Do you know the following problem:
You have only one outlet, but several electric devices that want to provide them with the same current. They are the permanent plugging of electrical appliances in the kitchen sorry.
To me at least it is issued. The ongoing repositioning between toaster and blender is sometime so happened to me on the laces that I was looking for a (beautifully designed) solution for it and I ended up here.

The Allocacoc Powercube is the solution!

He turns an outlet five (Powercube Original and Extended Power Cube) or four plus two USB charging ports (Powercube DuoUSB and DuoUSB-Extended), thereby not even need a lot of space and looks stylish. Of course you could also use a simple power strip with short cable, but is then only on the work surface around while the PowerCube does not consume any additional parking space on the worktop (see customer photos).

The USB power adapter in the PowerCube DuoUSB provides total maximum 2.1 A. If you connect only one device, this can therefore draw the maximum 2.1 A current. If you connect two devices, then the current flow will be divided accordingly. This can be found in the FAQ on the Allocacoc website.

Two points struck me negatively:
Parental control is extremely difficult to move at all PowerCube. Thickness Schuko you get even halfway reasonable in the outlet plugged. With thin Euro plugs (eg of chargers for cell phones etc.) but it has serious concerns, it could break during insertion. If you want to disconnect and electrical appliances from time to time, the PowerCube is not recommended in my opinion.

The Power Cube Extended (the turn to the cable) has a thick and extremely stiff cable that can be wound up only with difficulty, but then unwound zigzagging lying around on the ground.

Yet something fundamental to the design of the PowerCube:
According to DIN VDE 0620 may plug adapter has only one earthing contact slot and a maximum of two Euro slots or a maximum of four Euro-slots feature.

Reason: This prevents excessive mechanical stress on the wall outlet, because a multiple clip the other adapters for slot expansion (Christmas tree formation) by limiting the slots is excluded.
There is a guide to the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health called "General safety criteria
for Adapter "in which this can be found.

Regarding CE marking a non transparent system for me Babylonian tangle at Allocacoc. The PowerCube Original does not have a CE mark on the device. The PowerCube DuoUSB and DuoUSB Extended possess a CE mark on the device (which the PowerCube DuoUSB according to DIN VDE 0620 should not wear!) (See customer photos).

Allocacoc is apparently also not quite sure what to recommend with respect to nesting PowerCubes. At one point, a nesting and thus prolonging the PowerCube is declared elsewhere urgently advised against it.

Conclusion: conditionally recommendable and 4 stars
