Unnecessary difficult to plug in
Fast charging and surge protection, but plugging devices in is unnecessarily difficult because the safety/protective shutters make the sockets very stiff to use.

Good quality but a bit expansive.
It is good quality but I think the price I paid was a bit too much.

Love this powerboard
Absolutely love the individual charging ports as well as the power plugs. It has stopped a lot of arguments in my house because now all three of us can charge our devices and laptops at the same time. It’s also great to be able to leave laptop chargers plugged in but be able to turn them off when not needed.

At a glance
This compact 4-way powerboard is a practical choice for homes and small work setups that need both AC outlets and mixed USB charging in one spot. It suits desks, bedside tables and shared rooms, with surge protection adding everyday peace of mind. Its key strengths are convenience, space-saving design and support for newer and older devices. The main limitation is its modest four-outlet capacity for larger setups.

Key benefits
- 4 AC outlets: powers several everyday devices from one compact board, helping reduce outlet congestion.
- USB-C charging port: supports newer phones, tablets and accessories without needing a separate wall charger.
- USB-A charging port: keeps compatibility with older charging cables and devices already in the home.
- Surge protection: helps reduce the risk of damage to connected electronics from sudden voltage spikes.
- Compact body: the 14.5 cm x 5.3 cm x 3 cm size fits neatly on desks, shelves and bedside tables.
- Shared-space friendly design: suits mixed charging needs in bedrooms, study areas and common household spaces.
- 230-240 VAC, 50 Hz operation: designed for reliable everyday use with standard Australian mains power.
- 1-year manufacturer's warranty: adds basic purchase confidence for everyday home use.
Q: Can this Jackson powerboard fast charge more than one USB device at the same time?
A: It can charge several USB devices at once, but the fastest charging rate is usually available only when a compatible device is connected under the right load. When multiple USB ports are in use, charging speed is commonly shared and can slow down.
Q: Is the USB-C port on this powerboard suitable for charging a laptop?
A: No, it is best treated as a charger for phones, earbuds and many tablets unless the listed USB-C wattage specifically matches your laptop’s requirement. Most laptops need higher USB-C PD output than powerboards in this class usually provide.
Q: Does the surge protection on this Jackson powerboard replace a UPS or battery backup?
A: No, surge protection helps reduce damage from sudden voltage spikes, but it does not keep devices running during a blackout. It also will not regulate power like a UPS, so desktops, modems and gaming gear still shut off if mains power drops.
Q: What is the benefit of having both USB-C and USB-A on this 4 way powerboard?
A: It suits mixed-device households because newer gear can use USB-C while older cables and accessories still plug into USB-A. That can free up wall chargers, but the port type alone does not confirm the maximum charging speed for every device.
Q: Is this a good choice for a desk or bedside setup with both appliances and device charging?
A: Yes, a 4 way board with built-in USB suits desks and bedside tables where lamps, chargers and small electronics need to share one spot. It is more practical than using separate phone chargers, but high-power USB-C devices may still need their own adapter.
