Description of Maximize Outlet Capacity & Protect Your Gear with ECHOGEAR Low Profile Surge Protector - 3 AC Outlets & 2 USB Ports - 540 Joules of Surge Protection - Convenient Installation

540 Joules of surge protection from all types of electrical damage. Built-in fireproof technology handles surges, without starting a fire. Billy Joel would be proud. With a super slim 1.1" profile, you can fit this on-wall surge protector in tight spaces & get a finished look. Works great as a power adapter, with 3 AC outlets & 2 USB ports to rapidly charge your phone. It's got plenty of juice, with enough left over for a delicious smoothie. Interference in your power supply = dirty power. This surge protector filters it out to increase device lifespan. Don't let your electronics ride dirty. UL safety certified with a 5 year, $25k connected equipment warranty. Your electronics won't be "hertz" with ECHOGEAR. That was a terrible electricity pun.

but I like the green light

I haven't had enough time to evaluate the performance of these devices, but I like the green light. At night I don't have to turn on the light in the kitchen or in my room where I use it; enough light to navigate. The only downside to this and other protectors is that typical plugs are sized to only allow two outlets - the width between each outlet must be greater. However, I am pleased with the look and thinness of the blocks - aesthetically pleasing.

Pros
  • Handsome
Cons
  • Null

Verify that the middle screw is present on the duplex connector.

Received on Sunday - very fast delivery. The product works great with one caveat: make sure the duplex jack you want to use has a center screw. This product is designed to be used with a central mounting screw. If you don't use the middle screw, the device will pop out of the socket when you unplug the cable or USB plug. I ended up using a surge protector on a duplex center screw outlet near the kitchen counter. People can charge their devices while visiting. The green light from above works…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Annoying

Slow Loading

I wanted to like it, but two things got in my way. Firstly when I ordered I didn't realize there was a night light on top. It's fairly bright and can't be turned off, making it problematic to use in my bedroom. Second, and more importantly, the charging ports are ridiculously slow. They must be very energy efficient as they take over 10 hours to charge my portable charger compared to around 4 hours when I plug it into my phone's charger plugged directly into an outlet. It's so slow that it…

Useful information about socket strips and surge protection

I have 3 of these devices at home, each in a separate room. The first is about 3 years old and works perfectly. Installation is very easy and great value for money. They are in strategic locations with lights plugged into the top connector and two USB cables on the bottom. One for the apple orchard and one for everything else (Alexa, Android, or Kindle). No matter what room I'm in and need to charge devices quickly, they're ready and waiting. The one in the family room is the newest and sits…

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Slightly dented

This is all my customers' favorite style and type of surge protector and USB charger. CDrive has been the name of my computer and television repair shop for twenty years, since I was in college in the early 80's of the PC era. We used bulky triplite protection and backup units that used heavy transformers and large heatsink transistors for the power inverters. From the design and development of very light ferrite flyback power supplies and advanced power semiconductors, we have reached some…

Pros
  • Surge Protector
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Definitely a must have

Over the years I've always wondered why anyone would buy reusable wall outlets that can't be screwed into an outlet. Because when you pull the plug, everything comes out. That's not the case with EchoGear as they have a screw, and better yet you don't have to remove the jack cover, you can leave it in place. Simply use the supplied screw and never remove this plug from the socket. Two USB ports used for charging and they are fine. Sockets are good too, as you can feel comfortable plugging in…

Pros
  • Power Strips & Surge Protectors
Cons
  • Only available in black
