Jackson powerboards 1/2 price in Woolies.
Jackson 4 Outlet Individually Switched Powerboard With 1 Metre Lead - $10.00 Was $20.00
Jackson 4 Outlet Surge Protected Powerboard With Child Safety Covers - $7.50 Was $15.00
Jackson 6 Outlet Surge Protected Powerboard With Spaced Power Outlets - Black - $10.50 Was $21.00
Update: On special again.
Sockets are snug fit, overtime may get loose. Powerboard is approved to Australian standards.
No surge protection. Lame
When was the last time cheap MOV surge protection saved your equipment? Didn't think so.
I bought a Jackson 5 one, but it set my hair on fire when I spilt Pepsi on it.
I'm not a big fan of Jackson stuff. I have plenty of 15 and 20 year old power boards from HPM or Arlec but the 3 year old Jackson ones all suffer from tight sockets, and a couple had to be thrown out when they simply wouldn't accept a plug anymore.
Their USB chargers are also lacking in information, they quote "2.4 Amp" on their two socket charger without stating if it's shared between both or 2.4 on each. It just isn't good enough these days.
What is the problem with tight sockets, when the socket cannot accept a plug, or the plug will just not stay in/connected?
For anyone who misses out or no stock, similar item at Bunnings:

I only got Arlec ones so not sure if they're any better/worse than this.
I haven't had an issue with Arlec.
I’m sorry miss Jackson
well, they never meant to make her daughter cry
I apologise a trillion times

Can you get boards with higher amp ratings? Can't have toaster and kettle on mine.
I doubt it (happy to be corrected) because Australian electrical standards specify max 10A from a normal power outlet; something like that. So you'd have to buy one with no current limit whatsoever, e.g. the basic double adapter.
Does anyone know if these are any good?
no Jackson 5?
it has 5 outlets, but only 4 work anymore
Does anyone know if I can daisy chain this with a proper surge protector? I'm running out of power point in my wall.
Also, would this work with EoP (powerline adapter) extender without speed loss?
Thanks
Bunnings sell gpo.
You can daisy chain it but be mindful of total power
Jackson 4 Outlet
I'll wait for the Jackson 5 thanks :P
Worst brand ever. I have a few of the surge protected power board. The led less had gone off. Bought a brand new one recently. Failed surege led as well. Returned it and bought a HPM.
Thanks. Purchased Two. They got Life time Warranty. So you can replace anytime.
Unless they kill you.
I've been using this powerboard http://www.doss.com.au/spb44-4-way-surge-protected-power/
Yes it costs more, about $18 or less on ebay with % off codes, but at least all 4 sockets are wide spacing and useable with different size plugs and adaptors.
Nice!!. Getting one of those instead :)
Xiaomi is way more better.
Proof?
Yeah goodluck with that, the chinese governmet will know how much wattage an amperes u use in a day. I wouldn’t like that.
Good lucky with your brain.
How can Chinese government read your wattage through a powerboard without WiFi built in?
It actually does have wifi
Xiaomi power boards doesn't have RCM. It's unlawful for suppliers in NSW to supply electrical goods without an RCM. This may also apply to other states.
