Attractive design+color, slender profile, excellent functionality, budget price (8 outlet model)
Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only, Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only
This is exactly what I wanted. (Itโs even better - slimmer, easier to handle cord, than the Belkin in this design style.) Perfect fit for the lower shelf of my night table. To charge my phone, iPad, Bluetooth headset, and the like (plug my lamp into it as well, for convenience-sake not surge protection). The 8 outlets are perfectly spaced/placed.
I briefly considered the model with the USB cord plugs directly into the unit, but for me, at this point, for this purpose the extra price didnโt seem worth-it. My USB charging adapters arenโt that bulky, and with this design they can be plugged side-by-side.
I do like the convenience of that design, with the USB plugs, and will likely get it in the future, and move this one to either my home-office, or dressing area. So, this โbasicโ one wouldnโt be wasted. And meanwhile itโs a great budget option that sacrifices none of the design, style, or function. Itโs attractive, useful, well conceived/designed and executed. For well under $20. Nice color too.
Would be perfect anyplace. Though Iโd think this more basic model isnโt intended for multiple multimedia devises all in one - looked like they had more suitable models for if you wanted to say plug in your TV, your game console, your streaming and/or cable - do they still call it that? - box/devise, your speakers with or without subwoofer, along with your modem and WiFi-router all into one. Someone, who works with high end electronics and/or an electrician/engineer correct me if Iโm wrong. But Iโd get a model - of this same device if thereโs one of suitable capacity - which thatโs meant to handle such a load for my entertainment center. I think another reviewer talked about joules and capacity, I think it was for this model. Or at least this manufacturer.
Though I donโt see it being convenient for travel - not sure about that question there, maybe more convenient than some other styles; certainly not anywhere thatโs not 120V, and I doubt that at this level itโs sufficient protection for anywhere with radically irregular electrical/voltage supply, not just the occasional spike, like say - Malawi Africa for a random example out of personal experience, for something like that youโd actually have to spend money and get a proper UPC, not to mention bulky-bulky, but thatโs not relevant here, for this, just this isnโt something like that. This is for use with stable electrical and voltage supply, should give perfectly adequate protection for the occasional spikes and surges such as those following a power outage, within the design specification.
