The new version cannot be compared to the old one.

I have about 6 old versions of this power strip/surge protector. Put the furniture in front of the outlet - a long cord so you can use it behind the sofa and still have enough cords to connect things. The new version is more than twice as wide. It's absolutely huge. Not flat at all. The new version has NO swivel head. It is locked in the down position. :( The new version is so thick at the head that it's awkward to plug in and almost impossible to plug in without touching the pins when you plug them in, which is incredibly dangerous. I thought I might have ordered the wrong brand, but my old one has a GE stamp at all so they only made significant changes to make the product worse. :(

Pros

Universal Cable - 10ft extra long. Power cord consisting of 14 gauge SJT cable encapsulated in heavy duty PVC insulation and jacketed with a compact spade connector to securely mount the unit to a wall. This durable cable is strong enough to last a lifetime and flexible enough to be easily stretched to its fullest.
