Review on Compact Philips Power Multiplier: Mini Portable Surge 😊 Protector with Dual USB Ports for Ultimate Travel Convenience by Brad Knierim

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not stand up well to wear and tear

I bought this to replace a similar travel extender - the travel cord configuration on this model is great, but I was not impressed with its resistance to normal wear and tear. I rarely take it out of my pack where it sits at the bottom of one of the pockets - it has little to do with it except on the sides of the pack when I commute (approx way) from work. once a day). The green rubber rim is already beginning to crumble, has many nicks and scratches and is peeling off in many places. Dark black spots can be seen on almost every edge. If they had redesigned the device to use a different color for that rubber edge, that would probably better hide that discoloration and damage.

Pros
  • Protection Indicator Light: This LED will illuminate to indicate that the surge protector is working properly.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
