Bad design. Serious fire hazard.

Bad design. Serious fire hazard. Only the connections on the small circuit board were soldered, the neutral conductor was left out completely. All other connections are just spot welded and not very good. serious fire hazard.

Pros
  • Consistent test results

Ideal Power Splitter

What else is there to say. It has an always-on plug, which is handy for things you always want on but want everything else off. The quality of the materials is high and the cord is 6 feet long, making it easy to use in many situations. The best part is the recessed on/off toggle switches for each plug. You never knew you needed them so badly until you had a plug that was too big to fit an extension cord, as it keeps shutting off the outlet when the oversized adapter presses the on/off button…

Pros
  • Safety first 660W power rating meets UL 1449 safety standards: Two diagnostic LEDs (grounded and protected) indicate power and protection status so you can identify power problems before they affect your valuable equipment; Conforms to the current safety standards UL 1449 3rd Edition
Cons
  • unreliable

Does not enable Tripp Lites failover mode. Tripp Lite Isobar 2 is recommended instead

I contacts Tripp Lite via this Tripp Lite 1 Outlet Portable Surge Protector based on the many reviews published in Revain reporting overheating and fire related to this product. Tripp Lite was unable to provide any documentation to indicate that the Tripp Lite 1-Outlet Portable Surge Protector Power Strip will interrupt power to connected devices and/or other safe failure modes when the surge protector is depleted. On the other hand, the Tripp Lite Isobar 2 Power Strip with Outlet Surge…

Pros
  • Direct plug design is perfect for travel With its compact switchless design and direct plug, this power supply instantly turns any standard outlet into a surge protector, making it ideal for travel
Cons
  • A slightly wrinkled

This surge protector was just 4 months old at the time.

This surge protector was only 4 months old when our 1 year old TV broke. A few minutes after the power surge, I smelled burning electrical wires and realized it was coming from our TV. The TV stopped working with our soundbar. I jumped through the extensive hoops installed by Tripp Lite and had to spend $12 to send them my surge protector to test. Surprise! They checked the surge protector and said they were voiding their warranty as the surge protector showed no sign of over voltage. I even…

Pros
  • Reliable AC surge protector with a single outlet: Compact, straight plug design for easy portability and an AC outlet.
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
