Review on πŸ”Œ Anker Power Strip Surge Protector - 12 Outlets, 3 USB Ports, Flat Plug, 6ft Extension Cord, PowerIQ - iPhone XS/XS Max/XR/X, Galaxy - Home, Office, 4000 Joules - White by Andrew Lyons

Not UL Listed, possible grounding, do not buy

This is the worst thing cheap labor outsourcing can do. First, note that this "surge protector" is not UL listed and therefore not safety certified for the US market. Second, the design of this strip can have a ground fault as evidenced by my experience with it and other 1 star reviews. My unit was causing all connected audio devices to hum, and power to multiple headphone amp enclosures, indicating faulty ground wiring or schematics in that power strip. The overall quality of the product is extremely cheap and I was surprised at how incredibly light it was which I took as a bad sign. There's no ground fault indicator, which is probably by design, and the power button feels incredibly cheap and weird when pressed. It should also be noted that this is a rebranded Chinese power strip as there are several others on Revain that look identical. with the printed names of various brands. Anker needs to remove this from its product line. I am returning this extension for a refund and would definitely advise against purchasing this extension. This will most likely damage your hardware immediately or at some point in the future and, as other bad reviews confirm, can pose a fire hazard.
