Cordinate 6-Outlet Surge Protector Review

I got a relatively small fryer as a Christmas present. The instructions say to leave it unplugged when not in use. But the only outlet available has a microwave right in front of it, and plugging and unplugging is a real pain. So I used this to effectively move the outlet to a more accessible spot. It works great for that!

At first I thought it was perfect. Correct length, appearance, etc. But the double-ended socket (farthest from the wall socket) on the six-socket block was no longer conducting current. (I have two) It's no good and I can't use either of them because I feel like they aren't safe if it doesn't do what it's supposed to. Remember, they work well for the first year or so.

Between PS4, Nintendo Switch, Wii, GameCube, N64 and VCR, constantly plugging and unplugging my systems was a terrible inconvenience. I only have 1 double socket within reach of my TV. So the TV would already be connected to 1 outlet! It makes my gaming setup 100x more comfortable. I'm glad I got it sooner rather than later. I don't know why I waited a year to get this.

Any claims about cable flexibility are false. It's flexible if you want to bend it the way it wants. This loses a lot of cable length, but I needed it to get a small distance, so that's normal. It's a nice color and works well, although some plugs don't allow the pins to go all the way in. I only need 2 of these so that's ok. In general everything is fine. Serves its purpose and is relatively cheap.

As a live musician I have dealt with many cables in my time, this is the thickest and most inflexible. I felt like breaking it just to get rid of the kinks so it was (sort of) straight. I bought this pretty colored extension to match my bathroom wall, hoping it would blend in a bit better. but with such a stiff extra cable it still looks like a mess. I'm sure it works fine, haven't tried it yet. I think you get what you pay for.

Bought for mounting in guest room so electronics can be plugged into bedside table even if plug is behind bed - and mounted to look cutest but most dumbest cat in the world wouldn't chew on the wire. Unfortunately, we worked with this cord to try to untie it, but it's so twisted, bent, and stiff that there's no way to attach it to the wall where it can still reach the bedside table. Luckily, that also means the cutest but dumbest cat in the world can't chew on a string because she doesn't even…
