Terrible. Almost set my house on fire!

We only had TVs and cable boxes hooked up. I heard what looked like noise and realized it was glowing! I voted 1 star for them just because I had to. I put a fat zero and a fire hazard.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Good product for the price.

Works as described. The only problem is that it's quite difficult to fully insert the connectors. That's not one, but all of the outlets on both devices I bought. Otherwise exactly what I needed.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Quality

The new version doesn't compare well to the old

I have about 6 of the old version of this power strip/surge protector. angled in the right direction - flat head so you can place the furniture to the outlet - long cord so you can use it behind the sofa and still have enough cords to plug in. The new version is more than twice as wide. It's absolutely huge. Not flat at all. The new version has NO swivel head. It is locked in the down position. :( The new version is so thick at the head that it's awkward to insert and almost impossible to…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Crumpled

I recently bought an oven rack to put next to my tiny kitchen and after I cleaned my microwave and Having Keurig put it on, I freed it up space. some much needed counter space. But there's no outlet on the side of the narrow wall it abuts, and while I was able to run a fairly short microwave cord back to the kitchen outlet, my similarly short cord on the Keurig had nowhere to go. So I figured another extension would be in order. I didn't really bother with surge protectors, but this one caught…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgrades

BUYER BEWARE - fried my TV!

I bought these to replace old blocks. I didn't expect that there would be such a big challenge afterwards. I hooked my TV up to one and it fried my TV right away. I contacted Jasco to file a warranty claim and was denied. They said it worked fine although it didn't work when I had it. I don't know what kind of magic they used there, but they are just awful awful people. They admitted that they didn't even test the connectors for functionality. So how do they work if they haven't actually tested

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly dented

The new version doesn't compare well to the old one

I have about 6 of the old version of this power strip/surge protector. The old version had some great features: - a rotating head so you could direct the cord in the right direction - a flat head so you could place your furniture in front of an outlet - a long cord so you could use it behind the sofa and use it could still have enough cables to connect. twice as wide. It's absolutely huge. Not flat at all. The new version has NO swivel head. It is locked in the down position. :( The new version

Pros
  • Accessories and supplies
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than the others

Not happy with this extension. I hate how it's done.

While I hate the way this power strip was made I gave it 3 stars because it's cheap and as durable as others in this price range. The extension cord is like most extension cords you pay $10 for. It's a cheap plastic part. The only thing that is heavy is the cable. It's ok since I paid $10 for it. However, I cannot use the product at all because the plug is configured in such a way that I can only plug it into a flat socket at the bottom. However, I have some outlets that can't use this type of…

Pros
  • Power Strips & Surge Protectors
Cons
  • Expensive
