Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks good and works well

Aesthetically this is a great power strip/surge protector and appears to work well. The spacing between the outlets is good and I like that they are turned sideways. The underside of the strip has rubber feet that provide a good grip while preventing slipping (and protecting the finish) when placed on a desk. There is a power button (the 'on' position is also 'reset') with a small red LED to indicate the strip is on. The switch controls all outlets and USB ports. The cord doesn't look that long, so I measured it and it's actually slightly longer than the six feet advertised. I measured 76 inches (6'4") from the wall where the cord enters the strip. And a two-pronged plug comes in handy when you need to plug it into an outlet that doesn't have a grounding prong sticking out more than You think, especially if you need to plug it into a different power strip Cables A few minor whines: The strip's large, curved shape means that large plugs, especially those with off-center pins like the ones you typically see on large power adapter plugs, can be used with the Inserting into the strip can be a bit unstable as the flat part is just over 1.5" wide (I will upload a picture). There are no keyholes on the back to screw this strip to a wall or other surface The power button is a bit too easy to accidentally turn off (although you have to press hard to turn it on.) And in a brightly lit Ra Um, especially if you're on the sidelines, the LED display can be hard to see, plus the on/off markers are embossed rather than a contrasting color so they're also hard to see. .But these are really too small complaints to deduct a whole star. And indeed, under some circumstances, they can be considered *features*. Overall this is a really nice, stylish and modern power strip/surge protector with excellent ease of use.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
