For those who missed the Amazon deal, Bunnings is selling it at the same price.
If the size feels a bit too much for you, consider waiting for the newer version to go on sale.
The new version isn’t as large as this one. It is $63.99 now.

Features
• 2 x USB ports (2.4a) for fast charging tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices
• 8-Surge protected AC outlets
• Protected and grounded indicator lights
• Recessed on/off switch
• 900 Joules of surge protection

If you’re interested in the newer version of the power board, it might be worth requesting a price match. I was able to get one at The Good Guys for $55 using the link below:

    I've had two of these powering a bunch of TVs, consoles and PCs (plus various chargers and other devices) for almost three years now with no issues. Highly recommend!

      6 years no issue. Use the USBs as well. Its bulky that's for sure though but enough room for larger square ones too

        same with a Bauhn one mom randomly decided to buy from Aldi special buys. 5 or 6 years now just plugged in and working fine, both the red and green lights are on so surge protection still working.

        I never used the USB ports, they are just full of dust. but yeah apparently now Aldi special buys aren't good quality like they used to be (even the bauhn products).

        also lasting 5 years is kind of expected for something like a powerboard. I would think something odd about the quality if it didn't last 10 years at least.

  • RacingBull1 on 10/07/2025 - 09:50

    I have few lying around home and in office.! Most frustrating about this is still lacks USB-C .!

    I think it is mandatory to have usb a and c .!

    This model had enough time to upgrade.!

      I have this and can't go back to anything which does not have a type-c.

      • Poor Ass on 10/07/2025 - 10:04

        how many watts does the USB c charge at?

      Thats the point of being an older model right, Its primarily a Powerboard not a USB charger , Just get a cheap USB-A to USB-C adaptors for aliexpress you can get a whole heap of them for peanuts , problem solved , the USB ports shouldn't be powering high powered devices anyway

    is 900 joules even enough surge protection for a pc?

    • Mr Plow on 10/07/2025 - 12:10

      Probably not ideal for typical power surges. Go for something over 2000 joules. Even better, a UPS. Nothing consumer grade will save you from a direct lightning strike though.
      Having said that, the only PC component I've had die from power surges over the last 20+ years is the power supply, which is relatively low cost and easy to replace.

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 10/07/2025 - 20:41

      pretty sure the joules doesn't matter which device you are using.

      the joules is what it can prevent that comes from the power point when a surge happens. if the surge is higher joules than what the surge protection can handle, then not good.

      this 1800j belkin one is on sale for $24. seems to be made to high standard and pictures even shows it with laundry machine plugged into it.

      you can just plug your current powerboard into the belkin and it will protect 1800j. only downside of the belkin is it takes up the wall plug next to it.

  • Stealtho on 10/07/2025 - 10:04

    Still using a CABAC from years ago (e.g. https://www.recompute.com.au/cabac-power-outlet-8-way-powerb…)

    Does it still provide protection if there's never been a surge? How can I tell if there's been a surge or not?

    Just in case, it's plugged into a 2 port Belkin surge cube.

    • illusion99 on 10/07/2025 - 10:32

      A surge protected light should be on if it’s still providing protection. Plugging a powerboard into another board/cube rather than the wall outlet directly is generally not recommended Lots of people do it but seems contradictory that you’re worried about safety of your electrical items but willing to take a (small) risk of fire by using 2 boards

      • ihbh on 10/07/2025 - 11:08

        Glad you reminded me to check the lights. The Belkin is readily accessible and lights on; the CABAC aren't so it's just a powerboard now.

    • Carve2 on 10/07/2025 - 11:18

      For a lot of basic surge-protected boards like that one, they use a single metal-oxide varistor (MOV) or maybe a single MOV per outlet. They're cheap, simple to implement, and work quickly. MOVs have a finite lifespan though, particularly if they're exposed to a lot of surges. They can also overheat if there isn't any thermal fusing in the product too.

      If the LED indicator circuit is designed properly, it should wink out when the mighty MOV has finally had one surge too many. Some boards will just fail altogether when the MOV fails, so at least that's easy to spot! If you're not sure how well it's working, and the board is quite old, then retire it to the garage/shed/cupboard for occasional use, and grab a new one.

      Oh, and as far as daisy-chaining power boards, it's never a good idea. If you know exactly what you're plugging in, their power requirements (including surge currents, etc), exactly what the cabling in your wall and circuit-breaker/fuse is rated to, then you might be able to do it (even though it's against electrical regulations). But all it takes is a device going faulty & over-current, or someone plugging something else in without your knowledge, or a poor-quality cable in the wall, or something in the powerboard(s) failing unexpectedly, and whoosh, fire, smoke, damage, screams, help, insurance, try again next life. Get a sparky in for a few hours to upgrade to multi-way GPOs wherever you need them, test the cabling, do it properly once, and you won't have to worry about whether your addition and subtraction skills are up to the task.

    Why do they always place the outlets so close together. Argh.

    • AdamFury on 10/07/2025 - 10:50

      It's terrible. I guess they want you to buy more powerboards. Big powerboard conspiracy.

    • kaboom mel on 10/07/2025 - 10:52

      this one doesn't have that much of a problem. I have a few of these boards and it's a massive size compared to others. As the plugs are faced in the opposite direction so that helps. Yes if the device plug is super large then nothing will help, but in general I haven't had any issues with size on this boards.

      I highly recommend these with the con being its physical dimensions.

    • watdahelly on 10/07/2025 - 11:37

      Damn I'm glad you said this. I always have this problem with so many devices either positioned slightly/fully horizontal or just too fat to share.

    • brotherfranciz on 10/07/2025 - 15:48

      Aren't the oversized plugs actually the real problem?

      They really can't win because if they spaced out all the outlets, then the board would be twice the size and everyone would still be complaining!

      • Ryanek on 10/07/2025 - 16:17

        Think smart plugs.

    These CyberPower boards have higher surge protection (2750 joules) with similar features and are cheaper.

        I have a few CyberPowers and while they do work they suffer from very loose connections which will cause arcing. I just bought the Belkins from this deal to replace them.

      • Hugh G Rection on 10/07/2025 - 18:16

        i own both, belkin is built better, cyberpower feels cheap and is hollow. i guess it does work, its doing what its suppose to be doing, but if i had to choose between the 2, i would buy belkin because of the better build quality.

    • bobvegas on 10/07/2025 - 23:05

      Cyberpower has a clamping voltage of 1200volts, it will let in surges under 1200V, the Belkin clamps at 500 volts which is preferred,

    Why would one buy the Belkin over an equivalent such as this?

      Better surge protection and reliability. IIRC, these Click boards only have something like 150 joules of surge protection which is next to useless.

    • Fobsessive on 10/07/2025 - 11:59

      How many joules surge protection there?

  • HuzzahIndeed on 10/07/2025 - 12:22

    I only use MOV surge protectors that are generally cheap rubbish for lower cost appliances. For all expenses electronics I own when I want protection at the outlet I use series mode surge suppressors/protectors, which is superior technology to MOV technology. SurgeX is the brand of series mode surge protectors I use.
