    I'm researching getting a pop up socket for my kitchen island. Can anyone recommend one. Some seem to last a year and then die.
    I'm a poor man and can only afford to buy this thing once....

    I don't know a lot about them, but have seen many popup sockets in office environments installed.

    What manufacturers were you looking at?

    Evoline is one decent brand I seen at a trade fair. They have an Irish website. Not sure what the delivery time would be though as you can customise the accessories on it.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I ve been looking at sensio and evoline and then the ebay ones.
    Evoline certainly look the part and talk a great game with a price to match. .. Just wondering is acutally sensible to drop 150 euros plus on what looks to be a glorified extension lead.

    Not a bad make but not top of the line either.

    There are other options on the cheap side, might be worth a punt.

    This is about 50 delivered

    What do you need to power ?
    A USB outlet may actually be all you need.
