The hood above the hob had fallen off. The plugs stripped the wall. Made the holes bigger and used better plugs. Also put in some construction glue into the holes for good measure.

    I too love to daisy chain plug expanders. If I can somehow hide them behind a wooden panel, and maybe place them over a heat source, that would be my favorite.

    In seriousness, if you checked that none of these thing draw large amounts of power, and arrange those that draw the most power closest (as in least plug hops) to the mains, your probably fine. If everything is under 100W each its probably fine

      Independent of regular load, with daisy chaining you still have potential increase of return wire impedance, also for protective ground, which can lead to the circuit breakers not reliably switching in short circuit situations any more.
      So better not do it. For real.

      Wires are 2.5mm2 and the extender is rated at 3680W, the total max load is a no more than 10W excluding the hood itzelf. So we wel withing the safety specs. No daisy chaining here, plug goes straight to a wall outlet

    I first mistook this for a room-sized contraption and was like “Holy shit!”.

    After perspective shift to probably correct size still no idea what this is, though…
