Disappointed!JanisThe only IKEA item I didn't like. Not for me.1
Cable weightsSylviaReally handy and keeps cables where I want them. 5
Extremely UsefulRosemaryI brought this based on reviews
IT has EXCEEDED my expectation
My only niggle is that I would like it in different colours5
Terrific little gadgets!PaulineThey are easy to use, are magnetised to keep the power cord of your device firmly in place - no more cords coming loose and rapidly disappearing down the back of a chest of drawers or other hard to access space. They are fairly weighty so stay exactly where you place them. They come in a pack of two containing one yellow, one black as per IKEA photo. I did want two of these terrific little gadgets, however I would have preferred to be able to choose which colour I actually wanted, not forced to buy both colours when I only wanted a single colour. Maybe they should be sold individually, with a far greater choice of colours, so that people could choose different colours to go with the decor of each room they wanted to use them in. A good quality product, works well, just needs more colours sold individually.5
Specifically usefulMarcCable thickness is a consideration, and they're not really weighty enough for my liking, to not be bumped and separated, losing the cable. But they *do* work under my monitor/computer stand, holding those cables up close coming from the back of the computer, letting me easily plug in headphones, cameras, etc. without having to burrow around the back or losing the end behind the desk. Very neat, simple, convenient, useful.4
Good idea only one issueMargaretThese are awesome except for on minor detail. They only fit slim cables like the ones sold by Ikea. If you have a slightly larger diameter cable the 2 sides don't stay together.4
Useful gadgetAnonymous reviewerDon’t miss it! It’s quite useful. Provide anchor to your charging cable. Very easy to use and look cute!5
New otemJoGreat idea
At home cable thicker so ok
At work on the desk the best3
They're just ok.StepThey really struggle to fit a decent quality USB cable, the hole is just too small. It does fit IKEA's braided cables exactly. The interior metal plates are badly discolored and can't easily be cleaned.3
Not badDavidWorked ok, but not as good as I had expected 4
Cord weight MichelleHelps keep end of cable where I need it, but if it gets knocked it comes apart.3
Practical Cable ControlAndrewThese cable controls are very well designed for keeping charging cables in place when not connected to a device. Heavy enough to stop a charging cable falling to the floor, but not too heavy so as to allow one to be included in travel luggage. Highly recommended.5
AwesomeAnonymous reviewerThese are big and chunky and not necessary super pretty, but functionally they are perfect. They fit a fatter cord than i thought in them and they hold beautifully and don’t slip or move. 4
Small, useful but could do with a connectorAnonymous reviewerGood idea for keeping cable where you need it but as it is two separate pieces tends to have one piece fly off if moved accidentally. Addition of a hinge or a something to connect the two pieces to keep them together would be a big improvement. Great size. Love the yellow version so easy to locate.3
Cord weightKathleenLooks like it will control my unruly cords but not used yet.4
