style over substance.

What's wrong with that, you ask yourself, falls off any surface it's placed on due to the weight of the plugs and thick power cord. And the only way to use the assembly pieces is, you guessed it, to block one of the exits. 2) The PowerCube is powered from a wall outlet with a standard full-size three-pin plug. Between this plug and the heavy-duty cord, forget about using it behind a solid dresser or end table without pulling that furniture about 4-5 inches from the wall. To further compound this shortcoming, the PowerCube itself is explicitly advertised as allowing bulky adapters to coexist with a single power strip. So the PowerCube offers this functionality, but it is not designed to consume the lowest power. on sharp translucent white plastic. So good luck with your return if you find it's just a (poorly) recycled extension cord.

Pros
  • Power strips and surge protectors
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
