Review on 16-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector with 4-Side Design, 4 USB Ports, 5 Ft Flat Plug Extension Cord, Overload Surge Protection Outlet Strip, Wall Mountable for Home, Office, and More by Ron Patel

My media center ran out of available outlets and I decided to give it a try since it has so many outlets. There are 16 outlets in this block, but keep in mind that they're still a bit crowded and larger power adapters will block access to an adjacent outlet or two. The device also has 4 USB-A outputs for charging or powering low-power USB devices (FireTV Stick, etc.). I use and will continue to use this surge protector. and I would order it again. However, there are a few caveats: outlets are often blocked by adjacent power supplies. In fact, the "flat plug" of the socket strip is upside down. In the US, electrical codes now require that a static grounding plug (third, center pole) be located at the top of the outlet. This works best with the static grounding plug underneath. This works well in most old houses with 3 pin plugs as that is how the sockets were installed. In new homes, the extension cord is routed up rather than down to the floor. It would be helpful if the fork could be rotated to fit more than one orientation. Several products I found have this feature. Overall, this is a great value product compared to the price and performance of similar surge protectors. Depending on my needs, I'm not sure I'll order it again, but if you're aware of its features and potential pitfalls, and it still meets your needs, then I'd recommend it. I had planned for a couple of outlets to be blocked and realized plug orientation was an issue before I ordered it, but since the outlet and appliance are covered by the cabinet, this wasn't really a problem for me.
