Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ TROND Power Strip: Long Cord, 3 Outlets, 3 USB Ports, 10ft Extension, Wall Mountable - Ideal for Dorm Room and Home Office Charging! by Bryce Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used for bedside charging overnight

My wife's side of the bed does not have easy access to the nearest outlet which is behind her dresser and this always resulted in a mess of the cord when we were using the apartment plugged in an extension cord to get to their bedside tables. After years of frustration with a mess that attracts dusty rabbits and tripping up a dog in the middle of the night, we decided to use this solution as a replacement a few weeks ago. It is screwed to the wall next to her bedside table and, thanks to the flat plug, fits easily into a socket behind the dresser like an extension cord. Nothing grinds the floor and picks up dust, fur and feet, and removing the two old USB chargers we used there cleaned up the rest of the wiring. Currently she mainly uses it for her three USB ports, one of which acts as a wireless charger for her phone with this Anker product: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07THHQMHM/ and the second one overcharges her the charger on the iPad overnight if necessary (cable plug). It's not as fast as the best fast chargers available, but since she only uses it for overnight charging, it doesn't matter. She had no trouble powering the PowerWave Pad from this power strip's ports. Once cool weather returns, it also becomes the AC power source for our mattress heater. AC power is usually a feature of extension cords that should only work if something goes wrong, so not much to consider here. All in all, this was the perfect solution to the problem, and it worked well enough that I immediately bought one of the larger power strips to change my desktop wiring nightmare a bit.

Pros
  • Power Splitter
Cons
  • Very expensive
