Review on 🔌 TROND Surge Protector Power Strip with USB, Flat Plug, Wall Mountable - Ideal for Home Office, Desk, Bedside - 4 USB Charging Ports, 4 AC Outlets - 1440 J Surge Protection - 3ft Extension Cord (Black) by Dylan Deng

This power strip has many nice features, particularly practical USB charging connections, and is well made. This would earn it five stars, except that it has a maximum load rating of 1250W or 10A at 110V. Extension cords like this are typically rated at 1875W or 15A. One factor is likely to be the power cord. This is 18 gauge thin wire. Thicker 14 gauge wire is typical. This means you need to be mindful of the overall wattage (or current) of what you're plugging into the strip. Be especially careful with high powered appliances like coffee pots, hair dryers, etc. Anything with a heating element in particular can draw a lot of current. that's at 5V, which is 20W at 110V, so they're not really a factor in the overall load on the power strip. While each of the USB ports can deliver a maximum of 2.4A for super-fast charging, the maximum total USB output is 4A. This means that if you use more than 1 port at a time, the output of each one will be reduced and charged will slow down. .
