Review on πŸ”Œ Tripp Lite 2 Outlet Travel Surge Protector Power Strip: Portable & Direct Plug In with Tel/Modem Protection, Plus $50,000 Insurance by Matt Tbone

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The top around the button gets very hot - potential fire hazard?

I love my Belkin forks with preset timers but after 3 of them stopped working I looked for alternatives. I found a Tripp Lite and bought 2. I found that the top got very warm when idling, even without activating the timer. The higher temp around the button didn't go away so I don't trust the 2 units I bought and always turn them off before leaving the house. Is it normal for the top to get very hot? The description claims very low standby power, but with the warm tops, I feel like my two Tripp Lite units are drawing more power than a trickle, and I'm worried they might pose a fire hazard.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Protection
