Let's start with what's good:The packaging is super fancy. It comes in a foil printed sliding box. It's nestled in cut-for-purpose black foam. The instructions are also printed on metallic paper - a very large sheet of metallic paper.The case is built out of very sturdy material. It feels like it could sustain drops and people stepping on it just fine.The lighting, while not strictly functional other than creating "ambiance" is well done. The fake PCB traces visible around the sockets are a cute touch that makes this look like functional art.The power cord is decently thick and should resist twisting. The plug is flat and angled at 45 degrees which is convenient-ish?The screen with power stats is pretty useful. It works similarly to a kill-a-watt or one of the dozens of different USB power meters.The USB ports are, in fact, capable of what they're rated for. PD on the USB-C ports works flawlessly, and you can easily get 5v 3A charging from the legacy USB.Other Observations:The GaN charging feels kind of gimmicky, at least as far as the display is concerned. It claims that if you connect a USB device to charge it, the GaN meter will "fill" as the device completes charging, but in my experience it just showed the charging animation the whole time whenever a USB device was plugged in.What's not-so-great:Despite being several pages long, the manual has very little useful information. There's plenty of space for several illustrations of the device along with graphics of robot arms and other "science stuff", but no room for explaining surge suppression capabilities. In fact the only thing that indicates this has any surge suppression at all is an ambiguous icon that says "Protection Module".They used security screws, and tension clips to make it difficult to dismantle, but after a bit of sweet talking it gave up its secrets. I've attached images. The little strip of electrical tape made me chuckle a bit.Inside there's a single 14D561K MOV - forgive the oversimplification, but that's the surge suppressor. MOVs are "sacrificial" which means that they degrade over time and with use - every time you trip the protection they get less and less effective. It's actually a pretty decent MOV, but it's only one. Normal surge suppressors have several MOVs to increase the longevity of the device. Just understand that if you ever do trip the protection circuit on this thing it's probably one and done.It was also a little disappointing to find 16AWG wire inside of this. If all you're using this for is a TV or a computer - something with fairly low wattage, 16AWG is perfectly fine, but the marketing materials claim this is good for 1625 Watts. It's not the end of the world, but most power strips in this price range are going to use 14 AWG or even 12 AWG.While it's very useful, the statistical readout on the screen is not configurable. It just cycles through a pre-programmed set of statistics, lingering on each one for a couple of seconds. I would have much appreciated the ability to lock it in place on one to watch something like wattage.Conclusion:This is vanity device. It truly is a piece of eye candy, and the plastic housing is sturdy. However the low effort surge suppression and small internal wire gauge make me less enthusiastic about using it for valuable equipment. You can achieve the same thing for a lot less money with a cheapo power strip, a multi-port PD charger and a kill-a-watt, though you won't look quite as good doing it.
