Popup kitchen sockets - which one to buy?
Discussion
We've just done ours and swithered over these, but like the pop up hoods, we imagined that they were going to be more hassle than they were worth, in terms of cleaning/repair/space below etc. But we were able to put stuff elsewhere - I guess if you're stuck it's better than having too few sockets though.
^^ Was looking at these, a lot! Problem was that I wanted Stainless with blue led 
= £300 each just for basic version with 3 plugs, and a lot more if you want USB!
A lot of cash for an extension socket, that may end up not seen as will be in corners of a worktop rather than island, with applicance in front. Plus that was the version without USB, otherwise add a lot more!
Then took a closer look at Sensio powerpod and discovered you can also put it down with the sockets plugged in, no cool led nightlight but at £90 each from Screwfix plus cashback meant the gulf was too large. Final nail in coffin was that the Evoline is IP20, whereas the Sensio is IP54 so better protected from spills/can be nearer sink if needed.
The worktop hole needed for the Sensio is smaller than for the EvoLine so can always swap over if the need arises later.
