Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Tricklestar 7 Outlet PowerStrip: Advanced Technology for Ultimate Power Management by Willie Midkiff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cannot use Samsung Smart TV. UPDATE: 11 months later "switchable " plugs not working

TLDR Version: This is scrap, do not buy. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but it isn't. Good for gaming with my new 75 inch Samsung TV. When I plug it into a power strip (on a TV outlet) my TV turns off like it's going into surge protectors or something and won't turn on for hours (even on standby). TV light goes out). It drove me crazy until I found out the extension cord was the culprit and then I went back to using the TV outlet. Not sure if that isn't giving my TV enough power or what, but I fiddled with it for a couple of days and freaked out before I realized the extension cord was to blame. Haven't drilled holes in the wall behind the TV yet to mount it, I would send it back. UPDATE: February 22, 2020 at approx. 11 months after purchase, this no longer works on switched devices. The only things I've connected to it since I've had it is a game console and an active TV antenna. I was about to buy a new Blu-Ray player just assumed my games console was dusty but low on power and when I took the TV off the wall and inspected the extension cord I noticed it wasn't rated for "switchable" lit "connections. Now this only works when using 2 always-on connectors. This thing is a piece of junk, save your time and buy something else. From the beginning there were only problems.

Pros
