Review on πŸ”Œ UPWADE Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector with 4 Smart USB Charging Ports (Total 5V 4.2A Output), 5ft Cord, and Multi-Port USB Wall Charger Desktop Hub - Portable Travel Charging Station by Chris Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Essential for traveling - longer cable, 4 USBs and 2 3 pin plugs - this is the winner

I bought this to replace a smaller unit sold by another seller that I have had since 2016 (USB power strip, Portable Travel Charger (2.1A + 1A, 21W) and 1.5m/5ft) when it shorted out at the hotel I was staying at. I really like the new one - the addition of a second 3-prong outlet is a nice touch for us (I can plug in my laptop plus one other device and charge four USB devices) and the longer cord really helps when I'm at home stay a hotel or with this one at the airport. One thing I wasn't aware of was that the oddly shaped plugs on the front allow you to use a standard US plug (see image), but that says more about my lack of intelligence than anything else. This makes life 100x easier as I travel a lot and often need to plug in my laptop, hotspot, phone and maybe another USB device (e.g. wireless headphones). I expect it to last at least two years with heavy use, although the small spot where the connector snaps will likely break (the other one did after just a few weeks). It's not really important, but it's worth mentioning.
