Review on JOTO 2 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip with USB Smart Charger and Type C Port - Black 6.6ft Long Cord- Home/Office/Travel Charging Station by Stephen Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good extender, could be better for use with USB-C

At 339 grams it's a fairly light extender, and with a 6.6 foot 18 AWG cord rated at 300 V it will probably replace my AGPtek portable power strip. AGPtek has a borderline schematic cable, so I'm happy to get something better like JOTO. @ 5V) with direct connection. I like that it's grounded and has multiple outlets. When used via Apple's multiport adapter it only outputs 2W (400mA at 5V) so it may lack a special handshake to work properly. It works great with 10W USB-A ports with an adapter cable. I also had no problem delivering 1.5A to my iPhone 6 over USB using a Lightning cable similar to my Anker power adapter at 38% battery level. Also note that it's not UL listed and the marking saying it can't be thrown in the bin doesn't look appropriate for this type of gear. The back says "120v-" which makes me wonder if they are listed for 240v but then that bit was removed. I'll test it with a higher voltage next time I'm abroad.

Pros
  • Accessories and supplies
Cons
  • Not an automatic extender
