Surge Protector Power Strip, 8 Wide Outlets with 4 USB Charging Ports, 3 Side Outlet Extender with 5Ft Braided Extension Cord, Flat Plug, Wall Mount for Home Office Dorm Room Essentials, ETL Listed

This is a well built, attractive power strip. The top, widely spaced outlets address and accommodate the multiple transformers that are the modern way of powering our accessories. The top outlets are smartly placed so the wire tails coming off the transformers do not interfere with neighboring outlets. Having additional outlets placed on the sides of the box proved to be very handy for non-transformer ac plugs. The usb outlets (4) are very convenient although i must say that a modern day power strip is not to be taken seriously if it did not have them. The square footprint breaks away from the typical foot long / 3′ wide design but it works for my specific situation that i have right now. I would like to see them offer another model which addresses the foot long / 3′ wide footprint; i am confident it would be the same high quality build and fit. I welcome the cloth braided cord which is easy to straighten out so it lays neatly against the wall behind furnishings. I detest using a vinyl power cord (haven’t experienced plain rubber used in years) that has been wrapped up so tightly for shipping that it will not lay correctly on the floor. I mean, we buy extension cords and power strips to install our electronics in a neat manner, right? There is not a cord used in my house (tv, radio, lamp, alexa, coffee pot, toaster, bullet etc.) that is installed all curled up. I straighten each one before installing with a heat gun. I place as much of the coiled up cord in a large metal saucepan and use my heat gun to relax the cord and straighten it out (the metal pan contains the heat but prevents hot spots while warming the cord). I find if the product has gone through cost cutting via the bean counters of the manufacturer, the more likely the power cord suffers and ends up being cheap, stiff, vinyl. Here however the manufacturer realizes that the cord is an important element in the overall design and uses cloth covered braid. The internal wire insulation is of course some sort of vinyl / rubber blend to meet safety standards i am sure but it is flexible and can almost be entirely straightened out without warming. I have braided, cloth covered cords that are round and also flat as in this power strip. Either one works well but i prefer the round style which lays neater and coils better. This brings me to my one nit-pick. Even though my 5 star rating does not reveal it, i do not feel that my nit-pick should prevent someone from buying this otherwise well designed extension power strip. My nit-pic is about the power plug that goes into the wall outlet. It is the flat type (good) which hugs the wall enabling you to have that dresser tight up against the wall while avoiding any damage to the cord if a traditional “straight” plug was implemented. On this particular flat plug, the braided power cord comes down off the bottom of the plug at an angle and not straight down. It is angled to the right which is great if your extension box is to be placed to the right of the outlet but not so good if the box is placed to the left of the outlet. Having a flat type braided cord instead of a round braided cord, it presents a kink in the wire @ the plug location. It would be a welcomed improvement if the braided power cord came straight down from the plug and if they used a round versus flat braided cord. Hey! Not a big deal to most people but this is a review, right? So, there you have it. For most people, an extension cord is “just an extension cord – get over it”. But for those (like you reading this right now) are interested in knowing how a product is designed and performs, i hope i have described it to your satisfaction.

I love this surge protector. I am staying in a homeless shelter and we have limited outlets. I have both a cpap and oxygen that need 3 prong outlets.
I love the usb ports. We can charge everyone’s phone at the same time.
Thank you for making this useful and versatile product! I am disabled and had to crawl under bed to reach the outlets. I could not use oxygen and charge my phone at the same time. My phone would go dead overnight and it was incredibly difficult changing cords. This has been a true lifesaver for m!

I was quite impressed when this came in the mail you have an awful lot of options here and a very compact size. You can use it for usb or multiple three prong outlets. It maximizes all the space available there’s no dead space it feels great and looks great. What an excellent product i wish i had bought this before. I hope this review helps. I do use siri since i have low vision so sorry for any incorrect or strange words have a great day

I looked for a compact outlet for our guest room to replace one of those old, long multi-outlet strips. This one was ideal for a number of reasons: braided cord makes it easy to place on top of a bedside table; multiple outlets on top and on the sides; surge protection!; four usb charging ports for my guest’s devices; on/off switch on top for convenience. I liked it so much, i purchased another one for myself!

I’ve had mine for months now. At first i used it while i was working from home and had a laptop and 2 monitors plugged in as well as a few other devices. I like the compact design of it as well, for that reason when we moved it came with me in my ‘hotel bag’ so we could have easy access to a plug in the room thanks to the long cord. I also like the surge protector as well. Once we are settled i’ll be ordering at least one more.

This is a great product. The cord is made in such a way that unlike old-fashioned rubber-covered cords it does not give you any trouble. The part that goes into your electric socket is designed discretely, and the green light indicating that the surge protector still works is easily visible. Well done!

Honest review of all product aspects:
wall plug- low profile, allows for furniture to be placed in front
power cable- braided cable moves easily while feeling durable
# of outlets- 6 standard outlets, 4 usb. Plenty for our needs. Orientation is perfect for desktop use.

Favorite thing about this product: using it on a desk or other working surface.

This product is very handy for meeting power needs while traveling. The ac outlets are roomy for all but the biggest wall chargers while maintaining a conveniently small size. My only concern is that the built-in usb outlets may be a little under powered, but so far they’re doing well for my daily needs.

Purchased this for my son’s move in to college. After using all top 4 plugs and realizing there were additional plugs on the sides, he was elated lol. A lot of plug in for such a small box. Perfect and such a space saver

This is the 4th one i’ve bought — actually bought my first one as a black friday deal in 2021 and i’m seriously impressed with these things! Cord is very sturdy (i own 2 of the 5ft and 2 of the 10ft cords), power light is on top face so always easy to know if the power is on or not, and i love the different plugs (standard & usb) available and their positions on the cube. These guys are a little ‘pricey’ compared to some of the less expensive surge protectors available on amazon, but i feel like the quality and design make them well worth the price.

This item has been very useful. When bad weather is coming , i can charge up everything at once the day before: 4 flashlights, 2 cell phones, 2 small battery power packs and a small personal fan. In the past, it was a pain to either go around the house for available outlets or charge just a couple of items at a time, in the kitchen.

This is exactly what i needed. Its not huge and bulky which is good. I used a command strip under it to keep ot from moving. I love all the plugs and usb cord spots for my laptops, phone, google home, ipad charger, and accessories. Perfect that its a surge protector!the wall plug is flat as well so it does not get in the way of furniture. Great product!

Just started using it, so can’t address some others’ concerns. Will not be using ports for charging electronics.

The power adapter has plenty of outlets but my only issue is the angle of the plug to the wall. It limits you to only having the cord come out of the right side of the outlet. If this was adjustable it would make so much more sense.

Good product

It’s a little heavy for traveling

You know some hotels are great about places to charge and some do not.
This has 4 3 prong plugs and also several places to plug in usb. Only complaint is i would like an led indicator of how much power is being pulled and if it shut down an outlet if the device was full.

Great price and great to have when you travel

And eliminated device charging squabbles. Lots of plug options. Good layout. Held up when all plugs were used. Didn’t overheat. Only drawback is no usb c plug option. Otherwise, it was perfect for traveling (we hit several countries and only needed one converter) and at-home use.

I needed a power strip that was small and can fit next to my bed. It works very well for that, the usb ports are very nice and i can now plug in my light, phone and my headphones with no problems very nice.

Great power strip but using a coffee pot and 3 phones wound up popping the fuse
