Review on Belkin 3 Outlet Protector Electronics Appliances by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Rugged, compact design, but the USB ports only deliver 2.1 amps total, not all!

Pros: - compact and roomy (has some weight) - swiveling connector (use button on bottom) Cons: - 2.1 amps shared between both USB ports - a bit pricey - $17.50. , especially for only 2.1 amps combined. I would only recommend this if you are charging a single device or generally don't need to worry about charging times when charging 2 devices. The total current of 2.1 amps means that if you're charging more than one device, you'll have a slower charge rate and therefore longer charge times. That's why I gave 3 stars. I don't know why Belkin (or anyone else) even made them that way - not a full 2.1 amps PER PORT! for fast charging of phones and tablets! Many manufacturers and models have this disadvantage. In my case, while I didn't read the description carefully (or it has since been changed) and only needed one port, I would like some extra capacity just in case.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • No breaker
