Review on πŸ’» Pyle Black 19-Outlet 1U Rackmount PDU with Surge Protector & USB Charge Ports - PCO865 by Will Rahman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beware! Quality control problems. And this is an electrical device!

When I first opened the box, the bracket on the left was severely bent, as if it had been dropped on a hard floor. This would not have happened during shipping but before it even got into the box. (The box was undamaged.) How could it not be caught? It was clearly visible. quality control! Second, it still wouldn't fit in the rack because the length between the holes in the bracket was a few millimeters shorter and it would be impossible to line them up. A few more customers said the same thing about not fitting in their standard 19 inch rack. I check if it's correct. The holes are either incorrectly drilled or punched. quality control! As mentioned, the cable wasn't 15 feet long. Most mentioned they were 12ft and when I measured mine with a tape measure it was 11ft! QC!These outlets are NOT "semi hot" as advertised. They switch all! Inaccurate and misleading. Also, as someone else mentioned, it said CHAGE on the front instead of the word CHAGE under the USB ports. This may seem very insignificant now, but it makes me suspect that this is a foreign forgery. If it doesn't, then shame on Pyle for not noticing this error. quality control! QUALITY CONTROL! All these bugs make me think about what's going on inside this device. This is an electrical device, it is in my house and its SAFETY is questionable due to many defects. I don't want to return (or be in) my house to find that this appliance has caused a serious fire!
