Review on πŸ”Œ GE UltraPro 6-Outlet Surge Protector with Flat Plug and Designer Braided Extension Cord – 2 Ft, 560 Joules, Wall Mount, UL Listed (White)" by Chris Pollreisz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor design - cannot be used as shown

After the purchase I read another review which reflected two related issues. 1 . The outlets are very close to each other. Even more than conventional extension cords. I don't understand why - there's plenty of room to spread them out like other extensions do, but they don't. 2. The mounting holes are reversed, so wall mounting as shown in the picture is not possible. How difficult would it be to make two sets of mounting holes? I've had other extensions with multiple mounting holes in different orientations. If you just put it on the floor, it doesn't matter. If you plan to mount it on the wall, you need to turn it upside down with the cable down. This is the only way. It's just a bad/sloppy design and I just printed a return label.

Pros
  • Protection - Electronics protected with 560 joules of protection rating, built in circuit breaker and auto shut off technology
Cons
  • Everything OK
