Syncwire 4-port USB wall charger

Four USB chargers in one

- James Rivington

£14 FROM Syncwire, sync-wire.com features Four USB 2.0 ports (two 2.4A/two 1A)

Tangled wires and chargers are a real pain these days. Adding to this mess, there never seem to be enough plug sockets in the world to charge all our devices.

The fixtures industry is trying to tackle this problem by building USB sockets in to wall sockets in new homes. The Syncwire – a USB wall charger with four charging points – is a good alternativ­e solution if your home is not equipped in this way.

It's got two 2.4A sockets and two 1A sockets. The 2.4A ones are ideal for charging tablets like your iPad. The 1A plugs are there to look after smaller devices like an iPod.

The device itself looks and feels solid, and you wouldn’t have a problem believing it cost double its asking price. USB cables fit into the ports snugly and the socket itself is small enough to comfortabl­y sit on an extension cable with other devices plugged in on either side of it.

Also, it’s inexpensiv­e and effective – not something you always get in combinatio­n. It does exactly what you ask of it and we would happily recommend it to anyone looking to cut their chargers down into one handy device.

It’s particular­ly helpful to anyone who travels a lot or wants to go on holiday with one plug socket instead of four; no one wants to take that mess of chargers and cables with them, after all.
