It's burning! best surge protector

As soon as I plugged in the iPhone charger it exploded fire and smoke came out. He fried my phone and a lock of hair. I'm so pissed that Amazon made this pathetic product, it wasn't even a third party.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not the best

The 6 foot cord is a great idea!

Delighted to find this 6 foot extra long cable. A 3 foot cord wasn't enough for two spots in my house where all devices are plugged into an outlet. Before the power cords were pulled so tight, they barely broke through. A great idea for computer and multimedia areas where there is no outlet close to your devices.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Large and bulky

This needs to be taken off the shelf. I .

This should be off the shelf. I read other reviews on this unit and also had this extension cord which started sparking and catching fire. I have contacted amazon.com several times and they still have not taken it off their shelves! DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD! There is a risk of fire!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Useless features

Almost burned out. - Power strips and surge protector

This socket requires a more heat resistant plastic. I had no idea plastic would melt and burn until I unplugged it. It is normal to plug in the charger for your phone. It cannot work with a device that consumes a lot of power and the plug gets hot. Thank goodness we never left the unit on when we weren't home.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Available in white only

Hit or miss good for surge protectors

Unfortunately I received a defective one. Everything was working fine for a couple of months until I heard a faint crackling sound. When I finally traced the extension cord, the light flickered rapidly and the attached lamp blinked/dropped when turned on. Pulled out the danger. Even though it happened in less than a year I waited too long to make a warranty claim. In fact, I've only lost about $10, which is confidence in Revain Basics electrical products. Luckily nothing serious happened.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • I'll add later

Attention - questionable quality assurance.

When I received this, it had no visible signs of damage to the packaging or the power supply itself, but it was rattling like a piece of plastic, or maybe a small screw was turning inside. I was embarrassed using it without knowing what was inside, so I opened it up and found a good ball of solder rolling around (see picture). This is potentially dangerous as it could short out the output terminals. That issue aside, the extension cord appears to be quite well made.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Frequency

Terrible and dangerous piece of junk

This morning I was woken up by the buzzing sound of a broken extension cord. At first I suspected something was wrong with the fan until my wife realized that the extension cord actually caught fire behind the dresser. We immediately turned off the circuit breaker and realized that if we weren't home, a fire could start and cause significant damage to the house/burn down the house. I will consider reviewing the extension cord and exploring legal options at this point. Extremely disappointed in…

Pros
  • One year probationary period
Cons
  • Dear

I am happy with my purchase of this product and would buy it again.

I have been using a similar product in my office for about a year. It was old and rough looking so I decided to upgrade. These outlet surge protectors are quite expensive so I figured Revain would be the best option to find the cheapest deal on a quality product. Needless to say, I made the right choice in purchasing this product. I have to admit that I was very hesitant based on the many reviews showing images of this product as fire hazard. Ultimately, when purchasing a surge protector, you…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Some problems

Imperfect design elements can cause problems. . .

I bought this power strip in 2019. Since then, it has sat behind my TV, powering my TV, soundbar, and other devices. Since then it has worked flawlessly. However, I recently moved my TV and replaced some devices that were connected to this extension. I tried connecting the USB power adapter. He immediately fell out of the extension cord socket. I've noticed what could be a dangerous flaw in the design of this extension. The extension cord did not "grip" the blades of the plug firmly until they…

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
