Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Tricklestar 7 Outlet PowerStrip: Advanced Technology for Ultimate Power Management by Kyle Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cannot use Samsung Smart TV. UPDATE: 11 months later "switchable " plugs not working

TLDR version: Thing is junk, don't buy it. I don't know exactly what's causing this, but it doesn't work very well with my new 75 inch Samsung TV. When I plug it into a power strip (on the TV commercial) my TV turns off like it's going into surge protection mode or something and won't turn back on for several hours (even the standby light on the TV goes out) . . It drove me crazy until I found out the extension cord was the culprit and then I went back to using the TV outlet. Not sure if this isn't giving my TV enough power or what, but I played around with it for a few days and freaked myself out before I found out the extension cord was to blame. I still use an extension cord with my games console and it works if it wasn't just $17 and if I hadn't already drilled holes in the wall behind my TV to mount it I would have sent this one back. UPDATE: 02/22/2020 Approx. 11 months after purchase, this no longer works with switchable devices. The only things I've connected to it since I've had it is a games console and an active TV antenna. I was about to buy a new Blu-Ray player just assumed my games console was dusty but low on power and when I took the TV off the wall and inspected the extension cord I noticed it wasn't rated for "switchable" lit "connections. Now this only works when using 2 always-on connectors. This thing is a piece of junk, save your time and buy something else. From the beginning there were only problems.

Pros
  • LED status indicator (ground, overvoltage, switching)
Cons
  • boring packaging
