Review on ⚡ Portable Power Strip Surge Protector with Type-C Charging & 4 USB Ports, Travel Charger Station with 4ft Extension Cord - USB C Not Suitable for Laptops by Sirryan Bloodworth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good adapter; A few things will make it better.

Works well and provides enough charge for USB devices and a few 110V outlets. I use it for travel. Two things make it better: (1) The ability to use ungrounded plugs when there is no other option. Of course, I prefer a grounded outlet, but that's not always practical. I have a 3 to 2 pin adapter but it would be nice if it was built in. (2) Detachable cable. It's compact enough, but it would be more convenient if there was either a detachable power cord or if the case itself was designed to wrap around the cord. However, wrapping the cord around the case doesn't work, and twisting it into the same "profile" as the case so they can be held together with a rubber band doesn't work either. So I wrap the power cord in its own little spool and then use that and the case itself as two connected "pieces" that can be packaged somehow. someone took care of it. Why do SO MANY products seem to be designed by people who have never thought about their actual uses? APPEARANCE - the only design criterion? Ease of manufacture? I have to "hack" almost everything I buy, or buy additional third-party accessories, and not for some weird, non-standard use, just to get the product's intended core functionality. Aggravating.

Pros
  • Accessories and Consumables
Cons
  • Sad Equipment
