I don't understand the appeal of these - a plug top USB PSU is nearly
as neat, and is easily replaced if it fails, while you can use a
multi-socket USB PSU if you need to feed more devices. If you don't
have sufficient 13A outlets to supply your USB needs then fit some more
ordinary 13A sockets or use trailing power strips.


If you have this charging point somewhere convenient it is likely to show.
And I can assure you a socket with 4 USB outlets is a lot more attractive
than two sockets with 4 wall warts. And even more so than a trailing
socket. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
