Review on Tripp Lite 3 Outlet Portable Surge Protector Power Strip, Direct Plug In, with $5,000 Insurance - SK3-0 by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ideal Power Splitter

What else is there to say. It has an always-on plug, which is handy for things you always want on but want everything else off. The quality of the materials is high and the cord is 6 feet long, making it easy to use in many situations. The best part is the recessed on/off toggle switches for each plug. You never knew you needed them so badly until you had a plug that was too big to fit an extension cord, as it keeps shutting off the outlet when the oversized adapter presses the on/off button. Also, it's UL listed, which gave me a little more comfort in purchasing it than the cheaper non-UL listed one. I use mine for my aquariums and water changes and maintenance are much easier. I just turn off the filter and heater with toggle switches and turn them back on when I'm done. No more pulling on cables or turning off the main switch, and then no more using the aquarium light, table lamp or whatever else you can think of. I might end up buying another one for my TV, DVR, and games console.
