In 2022, the issue of fast and timely charging of our gadgets is very relevant. It is for these purposes that the Ugreen DigiNest Life 30W was created – an extension cord with two 4000W sockets, two 18W USB-A ports and one fast USB Type-C up to 30W.
In fact, the solution turned out to be very convenient, because instead of looking for free sockets or power adapters, you can quickly and directly connect to DigiNest Life. I tested the new Ugreen gadget in practice, so I share my opinion in the review.

The case of Ugreen DigiNest Life 30W is made of white fire-resistant plastic, pleasant to the eye and touch.
In the upper front part there is a block of two sockets with a maximum power of up to 4000 W / 16 A. The sockets support voltage from 110 to 250 V, there is grounding and spring protective shutters that prevent anything from getting on the contacts. This is a very useful feature that can protect you and your children from an accident.
A power cable 1.8 m long departs from the center of the side surface, in a thick flexible insulating braid. At the junction of the cable with the unit, protection against kinks or kinks is provided. At the other end of the cord there is a very high quality Euro plug, also with grounding. The device is placed on four legs located at the corners on the bottom of the case.
Anti-slip silicone feet make the Ugreen power extension stable and secure, even on uneven surfaces.
USB connectors are located on the opposite front side of the cable. There are two USB-A ports with a capacity of 18W each, as well as one USB-C with support for fast charging up to 30W.
