Belkin 6Ft Power Strip Surge Protector BSV400 Surge Protector

Has USB charging port.

This is the perfect cord for me and my AC needs. It has 6 outlets! Everything now seems to be going to the option to have a USB charger. This has 3 USB ports too! I found that the cord was very sturdy and just the right length, not too short and not too long. I travel a lot for work and sometimes my company puts me in cheap hotels, that don’t have enough outlets, so I am thinking of buying a second one for travel.

Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and price. It is cheaper than a lot of others that I have looked at.

I really like it, it’s sturdy! There’s a velcro so that the wires are not everywhere on the floor.

The mounting holes are upside down, oops 🙁
I will have to find another way to mount it on the back of my work bench

Due to recent flooding in my area, I need to redo my entertainment center to bring up all of the electronics’ cables off the floor. This product was a good deal, it offers both extension capability and surge protection, and it has 2 USB ports, and 1 C-type port. Therefore, I purchased it twice to cover all of the appliances.

Unfortunately, the design is less to be desired, and the only thing is to return and start all over. We are going into hurricane season, and I need to be focused on other preparations than to start all over with this issue.

The cord length is appropriate for my use. The plug is skinny to fit behind the furniture without sticking out, but this brings a big drawback as it can be plugged into the lower socket only. Therefore, I need to plug in the other unit in a different outlet. And this is where the major design problem happens because the unit needs to be flipped over.

At the back the keyholes are drilled up and down instead of left and right. Therefore, when the screws are put into the furniture, the small keyhole area will be on the bottom, and the unit cannot be mounted. The seller told me to mount the unit vertically on each of the legs, but I cannot. My entertainment center is an open shelf instead of the traditional box, and the legs are quite skinny. My solution for this problem is to mount the units to a meter stick using zip ties and screw in the meter stick “appliance” to the entertainment center.

Finally, another design problem that I see is that only one brick type device can be plugged in without problems. This is because 5 plugs are together, and the last one is spaced farther away.

As for sturdiness, the unit is light plastic, so I don’t know how it would deal in the long run. My older units are on the heavier side. We’ll see …

Works well – we’ve purchased a second one. Only issue for me is I expected them to weigh more – like the old ones. These will turn on their side easily if moved about for vacuuming, etc. Other than that, works perfectly, and it’s nice to have the USB ones with the plug sockets.
