Review on 💡 TESSAN Surge Protector Power Strip Tower with 11 Outlets, 3 USB Ports, and 6.5ft Extension Cord for Home and Office by Daniel Pesicek

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointing in the long run

Features such as flat plugs, USB ports and 120 sockets appealed to me because I have so many devices with large plugs that take up too much space for a normal power supply. Since I have a tower with 3 exits on each side, I can place them separately. I've been using it for about 6 months now. At first the USB ports worked fine (but a bit slow) to charge my Galaxy phone and iPad, but a few months ago they started charging so slowly that my phone kept flashing alerts about not enough power to charge, so am I now use a 120V wall outlet AC charger for your phone, not just a USB port. Now there's something wiggling in the mast's power cord connecting it to the outlet, so if the cord is barely squeezed the power to the extension mast is cut off - this isn't a problem for most devices other than a connected LED lamp - the power is enough interrupted to switch off the light, which then has to be switched on again manually. I find that very annoying. Looking back, I wish I had bought another one.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Some shortcomings
