Review on TrickleStar 7 Outlet Advanced πŸ’‘ PowerStrip: Enhanced Protection, 1080 Joules, 3ft Cord by Ben Jacobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cannot use Samsung Smart TV. UPDATE: 11 months later "switchable " plugs don't work

TLDR: is a piece of junk, don't buy it. I'm not exactly sure what's causing this, but it doesn't play. good with my new 75" Samsung TV. When I plug it into a power strip (at the TV spot) my TV shuts off like it's going into surge protection mode or something and won't turn on (even the standby) for hours -Light on TV goes out). It drove me crazy until I found out that the extension cord was the culprit and then I used the TV outlet again. I'm not sure if my TV wasn't getting enough power there.or what but i fiddled with it for days and freaked myself out before i found out the extension cord was to blame.i haven't drilled holes in the wall behind my tv to mount it yet.I would send it back. UPDATE: 2/22/2020 About 11 months after r this no longer works for switched devices The only thing I've plugged into it since I've had it is a games console and active TV -Antenna. I was about to buy a new Blu-Ray player just assumed my games console was dusty but low on power and when I took the TV off the wall and inspected the extension cord I noticed it wasn't rated for "switchable" lit "connections. Now this only works when using 2 always-on connectors. This thing is a piece of junk, save your time and buy something else. From the beginning there were only problems.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • old version
