Review on APC P3U3B Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports: Safeguard Your Devices with 1080 Joules of Protection by Christopher Rodriguez

This is a cute little device that sits on my bedside table and charges my devices. The 3 USB ports allow me to keep multiple USB cables plugged in, and the upstairs outlets are good for charging other devices. Unlike most extension cords, this one looks good enough to be placed on a desk or bedside table. One downside is that there are no mounting holes on the back, so you can't mount it vertically. It looks like the slot is meant to act as a stand for a phone or tablet, but I didn't find it really useful with an iPhone 6. Maybe he would be more useful with a tablet. The main disadvantage of this power strip is that the USB ports make an audible whirring noise when charging a device that can use the high-current USB ports to charge. For example: no hum when charging an old iPod or iPhone 4s, but noticeable hum when charging an iPhone 6.
