Review on 💡 TROND Power Strip Surge Protector: 4 Outlets, 4 USB Ports, 6ft Cord, 1440 Joules, Wall Mount - Ideal for Workbench, Nightstand, Dresser, Home, Office, Desk - Black by Brock Chisholm

This power strip has many nice features, especially handy USB charging ports, and is well made. This would earn it five stars, except that its maximum load rating is 1250W or 10A at 110V. Extension cords like this are typically rated at 1875W or 15A. One factor is likely 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. .
