Review on Arkare Power Strip with USB Surge Protector - 10ft Long Cord, 9 AC Outlets, 2 USB Ports, Stackable & Detachable, Desktop Charging Station Outlet Extender - 10A 2500W, Wide Spaced Outlets for Home Office Dorm by Eric Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decorative part, all functions

Plugs are not the same size. You will recognize this if you have tried using an extension cord. This power tower completely reduces cable overlap and does it in style. This stack of sockets would fit (and would probably work well in this setting) on a table in any modern style coffee shop. It has a stylish cubic design with contrasting black and white color that makes it popular. A lever adorns each side to turn off connected outlets. Having both is a nice feature as you have control of the entire box yourself, not just the base. Each fork has a separate side, meaning you should never have an overlap unless you have the naughtiest fork in the world. It says 9 plugins and you will have 9 plugins regardless of size (like I said unless it's a very massive plugin). Impressive. So far I haven't noticed any downsides other than the high price of a basic power strip ($26.99 at the time of writing this article). However, if you want a guarantee that you won't overlap, or even have a specific use case for a nice tower, it's well worth the investment. I like it. Oh, and it has two USB charging ports in the base. Usefulness may vary and I have not tried them yet. I will update this review if there are any issues. This time I give a solid recommendation.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
