It is perfect for what it is advertised for. It's very compact.

As we continue to remodel our homeschool workspace, there is a power issue at our new conference table (formerly known as the dining room table). The problem was that everyone has their own laptop with their own chargers that need to be plugged in most of the day and the only power bank we had was big and bulky. This power strip is surprisingly compact and the plugs are very close together. It worked well for us because we plugged in a total of four three-pin plugs to power school laptops. We placed the extender in a box to hide the cables in the center of the table as the longer 6ft cable allowed us to run the cable up one leg to the table top. In short, it was perfect for what we wanted. try to do. It wouldn't be ideal if you had plugs/adapters that had more than a standard 2 or 3 pin connection. In my experience, if you're trying to plug in an AC adapter, it requires at least two plugs, so that might make a difference. It doesn't ring, but it's important to note that this doesn't appear to have any real surge protection beyond the basic UL standards, so I wouldn't connect a computer or laser printer to it, but the laptop does have its own charger/power supply that does appear me to be better suited for surges. Anyway, that's my theory.TL:DR; Small, comfortable, good in this price range. However, do not connect your 80 inch TV to it.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No productivity
