Review on Black Power Strip Surge Protector with USB Ports and Flat Plug, Enhanced Overload Surge Protection by Andy Thorson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great socket strip for your workplace

When I was looking for a USB charging station for my devices, I came across this one. 8 ports plus sockets for a good price and I could install it in a leg on my computer desk. I tried and I'm glad I did. My use: I have an L-shaped computer desk. On the left is my computer, monitor, speakers, etc., so it has its own UPS. On the right side I keep my game consoles, laptop and controllers. This is where I installed the extension. Using the screw holes I attached it to the inner panel of my table legs and it fits perfectly. Accessible outlets and USB ports make it easy to swap, test, or connect once. The USB ports charge all my wireless game console controllers (mostly 8bitdo controllers) as well as my PSVita. With USB cables routed around your desk and never disconnected, your workspace is no longer a tangle of USB cables. All of this contributed to the main selling point - you don't need to use outlets to charge your devices. I was so impressed with it, even after owning it for 6 months, that I bought it for my wife to install in her sewing shop. . She needs an extension cord, but the USB ports free up outlets and keep her workspace cord-free. A NOTICE. The second image is just in case anyone is interested in learning more about controller charging. I've used a set of TotalMount Remote Holders (version with 3 or 4 remotes), installed them on the outside plate of the table leg, and everything just doesn't bother. :)
