Well designed power strip and it's a two pack!

Convenient to have at home. I always try to order a multipack even if I only need one because I always need an extra one whether it's a swap, reconfiguration or new purchase. This is good for several reasons. First, it has a flat switch, which means you can place it behind furniture without taking up much space. In fact, I needed one on purpose because the space I needed was next to the cabinet and I couldn't pull out a drawer with a regular fork. It also has an on/off button that lets you control the power and a blue light to show it's on. I like that the sockets are a bit apart, if they are too close together you lose 30%. They are far enough apart that they can be used for outlets with large rectangular tabs. As well as regular outlets, it also has three USB inputs, which are also at a safe distance and are perfect for some electronics. There is a cutout on the back for easy wall hanging. I do this sometimes so it's always a good feature as it lifts them off the floor. Putting them in your mouth makes them less dusty and messy, and they won't get tangled up in your vacuum cleaner when cleaning in tight spots. The cable is longer but also has velcro so you can shorten it if needed.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
