💡 Enhanced Belkin 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector with Dual USB Ports: Efficient 1 AMP / 5 Watt Charging Review

I have used wall outlets (including other Belkin products) for many years. This device is pretty good and I was excited to find out that it comes with a USB charger. I no longer care about phone or fax lines. It would be nice to have coax or network cable protection, but perhaps higher Joule ratings are required at this point. ADVANTAGES: - Lights up to indicate if it is grounded AND if the surge protection is still active. Most outlets have a bottom light, but not all have a safety light…

Technology seems to be conquering our lives more and more. We use the USB sockets on the top to charge iPads, MP3 players and mobile phones when we can't find a USB socket to plug into an outlet. It was very easy to install. Simply remove the screw from the faceplate, place this unit over the faceplate and screw into place. Ready! It lasted maybe a minute. Charges our iPad as expected. We often have two things at once that don't seem to be a problem. Cons: The green light is always on…

Large devices but not enough room to use power adapters in nearby outlets. USB charging is fast. The fixing screw is positive. An indicator light for checking circuit protection and checking grounding is a plus. In less than a year, one of the devices experienced an internal short at a neutral pin plugged into a wall outlet. The device was installed in an outlet in the office and hasn't been touched since installation when three cables and a USB port were connected for charging. We recently had

I was about to buy a standard surge protector when I stumbled upon this gem. After looking at the reviews and product description, I immediately bought three and am still considering buying more! Here's what I like about it: 1) two USB plugs - that's huge. I now have easy access to charge my iPhone and Kindles without using an AC adapter plug. 2) Because it plugs directly into an outlet, you don't have a huge power strip on the floor with cords all over the place. You immediately insert the…

I have two of these and love them. We have so many things that charge via USB cables and this thing makes perfect sense. So far everything I have plugged in is loading. Not sure how "fast" charging is, we usually just leave them overnight. It is driven by the top fork and screws into the middle plate screw. So you need to unscrew the screw that is currently in the middle of your socket. You'll probably want to turn off the circuit breaker to be on the safe side. Nothing beats using a flathead…

Hello November 1st 2012 I bought 2 of these for $14.90. I'd say it's a techie's dream, but for now I think we're all pretty much there. I installed one next to my bed and the other next to a chair in the living room. Now, together with several additional charging cables for Iphone 5, Ipad1, Ipad4 and HTC Thunderbolt, I have the opportunity to charge anywhere. My iPads say 'won't charge' when plugged in and it seems to take a while to charge BUT they charge! This can also be done without using a

This is exactly what I was looking for - something to keep all my chargers in one place at home and something that will come in handy when I travel and get a room at a hotel or campsite where there is only one or two outlets. I can plug this in and then plug my computer, phone charger, kindle charger, headphone charger and other things into it. I also travel with a 3 pin to 2 pin adapter because some places (like Japan and our church camp) only have 2 pin outlets. And because this Belkin strip…

I bought this item because I already had a 2 to 6 socket extender connected but it didn't have surge protector. When I saw the Belkin surge protector, I decided I should try it. I bought it to connect to my bed. At night I usually plug in my phone and other small devices to charge them. I also have a lamp, an alarm clock and a phone at home. I use USB outlets every night. They are more than enough to charge an iPod, iPad, cell phone or other small device. I use it every day for these items and…

I wanted something for the outlet on the wall behind the sofa. Since it's a wall perpendicular to the sofa, it's easy for me to get to, but that's where I keep my air purifier, so most of the time I only have one outlet available. And since it allowed me to use the cable to charge my iPhones or iPads without having to plug them into my MacBook's USB port, that was a bonus. Two USB ports, six outlets, just what the geek ordered. Arrived quickly enough, easy enough to get the product and luckily…
