It is not easy to find a surge protector with a 15’ cord and enough outlets/charging ports, so when I saw this, I snapped it up. The cord length and outlet layout are fantastic. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? Few things are perfect, and there are a few minor/annoying issues that keep this from being best-in-class:PROS: - 15’ cord with 45-degree plug (angled to the right) so you can plug it into a top or bottom outlet without obstructing the other outlet - 8 3-prong outlets (3 of which are very widely spaced for those annoying charging bricks) and 2 USB-A charging ports - Lights showing “Protected” and “Grounded” (a lot of other brands just show “Protected”) - Included Velcro wrap to tidy up any extra cord (15’ is longer than you think, but too long is better than too short.) - Handy template and two screws for mounting the surge protector on a wallCONS: - The entire unit is a little light and plasticky-feeling. It doesn’t seem cheap, but it lacks the premium texture and heft you would expect at this price point. (Maybe chargers have gotten lighter and that’s a good thing. I defer to the engineers on whether a little heftier is better.) - The On-Off switch feels a little flimsy. In the On position, there is a little play in the switch, so it would take only the slightest tap to turn it off accidentally. This shouldn’t be an issue if the unit is out of reach behind your equipment, but if it’s right on your desktop, be aware. - The On-Off switch does not light up and there are no clear markings on the unit for “On” and “Off.” There is a raised plastic line on the “On” side, but unless you look closely (and remember that the plastic line means “On”), you wouldn’t know if it’s on or off. - The “Protected” and “Grounded” lights are so tiny and dim (see photo) that you really need to look at them head on to see if they are lit. - All the outlets and ports are pretty tight. Maybe they’ll loosen up a bit over time, but it took a far amount of force to get the three-prong plugs seated properly; removing the 3-prong plugs was not a problem at all. The USB-A ports were the opposite: the connector went into both ports easily, but I thought I was going to have to call a computer technician to get them out without breaking them and/or the surge protector. (I ultimately got them removed, but both USB ports really grabbed onto those connectors and didn’t want to let go.) - The bottom has four thin, small rubber disks which, I assume, are meant to protect your heirloom mahogany desk. For a fraction of a cent, they could have used thicker, sturdier rubber circles, which would not only be more protective, but also provide better grip on a horizontal surface.For me, the pros far outweigh the cons. Unless you are constantly plugging/unplugging equipment or turning the unit on and off, this unit has a good number of outlets and a great layout. As long as it doesn’t fry my equipment or have a melt-down, this is a definite keeper. (The description claims the unit is “backed by $300,000 connected device liability insurance,” but that’s one guarantee I hope I never need to test.P.S.
