Review on ๐Ÿ’ก APC Performance Surge Protector with USB Ports and Power Strip - P11U2, 11 Outlet, 2880 Joule Surge Protection by Eric Ramen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Generally a good device but the sockets aren't deep enough?

A few quick comments: Overall a good unit, with socket spacing suitable for connecting multiple flush-mount transformers. The USB plugs are convenient and offer full power for phones and tablets, as confirmed by the DROK USB tester, while drawing no measurable power when not in use, as confirmed by the Kill-A-Watt Power Usage Monitor. My only downside, which I haven't mentioned in other reviews, was that the sockets don't seem deep enough. Most of my plugs don't quite fit and sit a few mm above the line filter. I really don't like how this leads to open electrical contacts even if the space is very small. I hope nobody uses this at a desk or desk where they can accidentally drop paperclips or other wires (lets say electronics lovers) into the gap between the desk and the wall.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Doubtful
