Addtam 2 Pack Power Strip with USB Ports

You obviously have to pay attention with any power bar/surge protector which orientation the plugs are compared to what you plan to plug into them. In my case, the horizontal one was a bit too long and completely blocks 1 of the USB ports (and makes the second one require bending of the cable to squeeze it in).

That said, the USB ports worked, I was able to charge multiple devices at once, all of the sockets were functional and not loose, and the power switch and LED worked.

My main concern is the very rigid plastic where the cord comes out of the main unit. It seems like the soft fabric/cable will eventually get roughed up by there not being a “medium” rigidity plastic between the junction of the two. That’s not really a concern if it’ll remain stationary (but generally, braided cable isn’t even warranted in that case).

I have purchased about six of these surge protectors to use throughout our home to protect our valuable electronics. They are well made and do what they are made to do. Living in Florida, we experience a lot of pop-up storms during the summer months, which can sometimes causes power surges. I have had these protectors over a year, and haven’t experienced any damages to my devices. I am starting to purchase more for my family members that live in Florida as well.

With their longer cord than most power strips and the flat plug, I can literally use these anywhere in the house. Initially I purchased them because I have an outlet behind where my “barn doors” between my living room and dining room is but using regular plugs stuck out too far and the doors hit any plug which rendered an entire outlet useless (I have an old house with limited plug space already as it is), so the flat plug here gave me back the use of the outlet. Additionally included USB power along with all of regular outlets, these are outstanding. I have started to purchase a few more to have in other areas as well, they work great.

I recently purchased these power strips to set up my new battlestation, and I am impressed!

I prefer reviewing with pros and cons so… here’s a breakdown based on my experience:

Pros:

High-Quality Cabling: The cables are of excellent quality. As someone who frequently goes all in on cable management, I appreciate how well these cables withstand bending and tying. They instill confidence that they won’t be damaged easily.

Flat Plug Design: The flat plug design is a must, especially in tight spaces. I have my desk positioned against the plug, and the flat design ensures that I don’t lose valuable inches by having the cable stick out. It’s a thoughtful feature for optimizing space.

Lightweight: These surge protectors are relatively light, making them ideal for various setups. I’ve even attached them to my standing desk, ensuring that a single cable is the only element needing sufficient length when adjusting my desk height. The lighter weight allows me to use command strips for secure attachment to the back of my table leg effortlessly.

Cons:
I’m honestly just being picky here… there’s not much I’d say, but if I had to say anything:

Limited Mounting Options: While there are holes on the back for mounting, I found it challenging to leverage them effectively. This might be more of an issue with my understanding of how to use them, but I wish there was a more user-friendly mounting option. It’s a minor concern and could be subjective.

Overall, these offer great value and meet my specific needs exceptionally well. The high-quality cabling, space-saving flat plug, and lightweight design make them a practical choice. Despite the minor drawback regarding mounting options, I am confident that these surge protectors will hold up well over time.

Highly recommended!
