Review on πŸ’‘ Globe Electric Designer Series Power Strip with USB Ports and Surge Protection - 6ft 6-Outlet, Right Angle Plug, Circuit Breaker Switch, Black Finish - 78439, 2 Ft by Kevin Singh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No space for 3 plugs, but overall very nice

CONS: It's pretty basic. If you only have 3 plugs. Share them! A LITTLE! I hate those adapters that only fit nice narrow plugs. Folks, there is so much room and space in these things. Make them bigger. AT LEAST HALF INCH? PRO: Love the feel of everything, the strength, most plastic 6 plug extension cords seem CHEAP. Sure, they can work like the villain/servant in any action movie 20 years after being beaten up, but that seems more reliable and not cheap. The flat plug is great with the power cord on the side. Beautifully made great design does not bother, in my opinion does not wear out either. The color is great, but the cardinal looks like a brown turd. Don't become a cardinal, it's not red; If you want red. The rubber upper feels great like a very soft silicone. I like it, the cable is long enough, the plugs all work. This should be easy, yes! But you will be surprised. Cons Part 2: If you can fit it all. . Poor quality cheap extension cord. JE! Aren't we in 2020 with cell phone chargers and laptops with brick plugs? So we don't have the technology to keep the forks an inch or two apart. If you can't design this in 2020, go back to school and get another 100,000 student loans! Or sue your college; they didn't work well enough! Sorry, I'm just annoyed because I hate that everything is perfect. like buying a ladder, but it's barely 6 inches wide. It's hard to stand on. So-so: the USB charger is adequate but not powerful so it takes a while to charge your phone or tablet, but it works. But I'm also used to 15W or more powerful chargers with more than 5 amps. Joule protection isn't great, but with such a solid construction and a soft, rubbery feel, they didn't have a lot of cash for a sub-$20 product, so that's good. I would buy it again if they smashed the forks. Considering returning it actually because obviously I can't safely store my 3 forks next to the bed for them to sit snugly there.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
