Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ MoKo Power Strip Surge Protector with 5-Port USB Charger for iPhone, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy - 4-Outlet 1250W, 4.6ft Power Cord, White by Lenny Sullivan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect solution! Very satisfied.

Last year I built a closet on an existing wall in our bonus room to provide storage for my husband's collection of "things" (read Chaos); Back then, it was the perfect solution to tidy up a room and turn it into a guest room. Fast forward to the presentโ€ฆ. Didn't realize that by closing the wall we accidentally blocked most of the outlets. Recently I needed to convert a room into a multifunctional mom/study/sewing/craft/whatever space, but had no access to electricity other than an inconveniently located outlet. I struggled with an extension cord to use my lamp, phone, and laptop, but quickly found that these "fixes" weren't going to work. I use the room for ironing, sewing, handicrafts and sometimes vacuuming. I literally pulled out the couch every time I needed to turn off plugged-in devices (I'd move the couch, but the closet only takes up the wall long enough). I was also concerned about the risks associated with using electronics, irons, and my sewing machine with an extension cord. I bought standard surge protectors but the cords weren't long enough to read to the end of the couch. When I was offered a discount in exchange for my review of the MoKo Power Strip / 5 Port Smart USB Charger, I hoped the cable would be long enough to end my daily struggle for a secure power source. The Moko strip arrived well packaged as promised and the product packaging was beautifully presented. The first thing I noticed was the longer cord than usual. I was able to plug it in behind the sofa and run it along the wall, leaving room. I actually ended up with a longer cable than I needed, which is a huge improvement over the many surge protectors I've bought while looking for. The connector fits snugly and doesn't lose connection. By working with the position of the plugs, I was able to plug all of my devices into the outlets at the same time. The on/off switch is a good safety feature and helps reduce power consumption when not in use. There's also a blue LED that lights up when plugged in to let you know it's powered. What pleased me most was that MoKo solved two problems for us โ€“ now I can not only safely use more than two electrical devices at the same time (without breaking my back to get to the socket), but also 5 USB sockets. Ports have allowed me to keep my hair intact! We are either always in a constant battle or in search of USB adapters. Somehow her legs grow and disappear, although I'm more inclined to think a 15-year-old boy could have eaten them, lost them, or borrowed them. I can't remember the last time I was able to charge my phone without sharing the urge or need. My hair pulling is finally over and my batteries are fully charged. My only concern was that the surge protector would be compatible with my fast charge cables and adapters. Fast charging is significantly more expensive than standard cables/adapters so I'd be disappointed if the "fast" features didn't work, but they work with no issues. I can use several quick chargers without any problems. I love it so much I would love to replace all of the surge protectors we use around the house. This time I got a white 4 jack 5 USB Moko connector that goes well with the white baseboards, but since it comes in two color options I'll probably go with the black one for the living room when I get the rest So it fits our setup better. I will also be getting an 8 outlet for the living room to house some electronics (we're very connected) but a 4 outlet is perfect for my multifunctional mother's room and will be as good in my bedroom and kids room. Now that I can charge my phone, tablet, bluetooth, and hot glue gun by heating up the iron, leaving my laptop and printer plugged in (and still vacuuming occasionally), I'm perfectly happy with this purchase, will be buying more, and will continue to do so definitely recommend to others.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
