Review on 🔌 BEVA Power Strip Tower – Flat Plug Surge Protector with 12 AC Outlets, 5 USB Ports, 1050 Joules, 15A/1875W, Multi Protection, 6ft Long Cord Extension Cable – Ideal for Home Office [ETL Listed] by Michael Langelius

I purchased this item based on three characteristics in its online description: (1) its shape/design, (2) its claimed 1050J surge protection rating and (3 ) that it was listed in the ETL. However, upon delivery I looked closely at the product packaging, the 'instruction manual' and the item itself and found no indication that the item is a surge protector or that it is ETL listed. The ETL designation (or UL designation) is the pride of manufacturers, and the ELT or UL mark appears on the device itself or as a label on the power cord; neither the one nor the other was and was not on the box. There was also no indication that the device was a surge protection device and its protection class. There was a comment on the box that said it had overload protection, but this refers to the current drain going through the unit to connected devices, not a surge of current entering the home through the mains. While both are important, they are different. So the only reasonable conclusion is that it's just a tower-design splitter. While I wanted something with this design, I wanted surge protection and ETL designation, which this device doesn't really seem to have. I returned it to Revain and appreciate the excellent return policy and system.
