Buy this - save time!

In our new house, the sockets are too far from the bed and are divided into two for table lamps with switches. My wife and I shared a multi-USB charger and flashlight so I could plug in my CPAP machine. I jumped in here and spent the next hour researching the strips' exit options. Then we found this little beauty. We can "stretch" the sockets to the bed and hide most of the cables with its 4 sockets. 4 USB ports eliminate the need for all those adapters we always had on hand. As a bonus, it claims to have some surge protection to protect my CPAP from wayward currents. We didn't buy it to protect high-end electronic devices, so I'm glad it's there at all. As strange as it sounds, I needed a rectangular fork. I hate when the cables are sticking out of the wall and bending, or you have to hold it a little farther from the wall to accommodate it. This power strip has more features than I expected and is more affordable than anything else. I only have a few small flaws but nothing that makes up for the value of this product. The case feels a little light/cheap. It shouldn't matter since it's a set it and forget it type product. The cable is a bit stiffer than I would have expected from a woven jacket. The USB ports are very narrow. The connector requires little force to insert, so it's best for cables you don't unplug often. Pros: - Relatively compact - Angled plug - 4 outlets - 4 USB chargers - Surge protection - Price cons - Rigid cable - Narrow USB holes - Slightly cheap feel. Bottom line: buy this - you can't win! I paid for this product and this is my unbiased opinion. I value the input of real customers in my purchasing decisions and hope to do the same.
