Great tower but not the best for wifi outlets (Alexa)

I love this splitter tower! We have 3 of these in our house, 2 in the living room and 1 in the bedroom. The cable is pulled into the base. So when you plug it into an outlet, it doesn't have a long cord. I want the fork to be flat instead of regular. Since they sit in a fixed place in the living room, it would be nice to have towers without handles. I know there are towers that don't have handles to charge phones by just laying them on top. That's great, but impractical in the way we're using these towers. So no handles would be nice. All USB ports appear to be working and are changing rapidly. Another thing I would change is the direction of the sockets. so they all go the same way on the tower. If you're currently looking at a corner of the tower, outlets will work on either side with a grounding slot either inside the corner or outside. In other words, on two sides of the tower, the grounding slot runs on the right side and the two opposite sides on the left. I'd rather have the floor slot running down all four sides of the tower, left or right. I have WiFi enabled outlets that are rectangles with short sides of the outlets at the top and bottom. Socket and pins are on top. Because of this, the floor hangs over the sides of the tower and the tower outlets face each other, and I can't connect these two WiFi outlets to adjacent sides of the tower. They do not fit. It is nice that the tower sockets are turned to the side, because this allows large conversions to be connected. Even if they walk over the edge of the sides of the tower. only the cables on the transformers on the adjacent side are touching. I see this as a problem with other rectangular WiFi jacks, but the long sides are top and bottom, with the jack and pins in the middle. For use on towers I may have to resort to round Wi-Fi sockets.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • No
