Review on Tripp Lite TLP608RUSBB 6 Outlet Rotatable Surge Protector Power Strip with 8ft Cord, Two USB, Black - $50,000 Insurance Coverage by Josh Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, but there are some potentially overlooked downsides.

Rotatable plugs are very convenient. A few things that stand out are the presence of internal sockets that the external plugs have to match. Basically, you can't plug anything in and then turn it 180 degrees. I think there are 4 different angles you can rotate the outer plugs to and then plug something in. Not really a problem, just something to keep in mind. Also, the on/off toggle switch almost never stays in the off position. Potentially dangerous if you turn it off than tampering with it as literally blowing it on could return it to the on position. Luckily, there's an easy solution to just unplugging the power strip, but that can cause problems if someone needs to plug it into a hard-to-reach outlet.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
