Works great. Used it for my computer docking and monitor setup. Great price too. Longer cord would have been a value add. Read more

Nice, basic 6 outlet power strip. Exceptional price for two units. Appreciate the 2 foot cord. No sense having an extra 4 feet of cord where it’s not needed for an outlet located near the floor. Great design with plug inputs oriented so you can actually use a smart plug without covering two additional inputs. Even with my Amazon smart plug installed, I still have five available inputs for plug-ins. My previous power strip did not allow this, and I only had three inputs because of the orientation for the smart plug. Practical and clever design. Black color is discreet and unobtrusive. Build quality seems robust enough for home use. Would not recommend for a shop or industrial use. FIVE stars from my application. Read more

Absolutely no major complaints! Even though it's the exact size you'd expect, I kind of wish that the outlets were spaced slightly farther apart to accommodate bigger adapters. No issues with the power draw, and it works straight out of the box. I haven't experienced a power surge with it, but I trust that it'll protect my devices. And the light for the switch isn't that bright at night, either! A solid pick for the price! Read more

Cord length isn't the best it's very short, but if you need a budget power strip this is the product for you. I have been using this for about a year now and it still works as needed. About the joules; A power strip with a joule rating of 200 is designed to handle smaller power surges and provide basic protection for your connected devices. It can help absorb or divert a limited amount of excess energy during a surge to prevent damage to your electronics. Power surges can occur due to various reasons, such as lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or electrical equipment switching on and off. A surge of electricity can potentially exceed the normal voltage supplied to your devices, which may cause damage to sensitive electronic components. A power strip with a 200 joule rating can handle relatively small power surges, but its capacity to protect against larger or more intense surges is limited compared to higher-rated surge protectors. It is suitable for protecting devices with lower power demands, such as small household appliances, lamps, or charging cables for mobile devices. Power strips with lower joule ratings may not be able to handle more substantial or prolonged power surges effectively. In areas with a higher risk of power fluctuations or lightning strikes, or when protecting more valuable and sensitive equipment, it is generally recommended to consider power strips with higher joule ratings for enhanced surge protection. But again, this power strip does its job, just be careful if you are plugging in expensive equipment like a game console or TV because it may not fully protect the device in-case of a surge. If you do have sensitive equipment that you will use for it, I recommend finding a power strip with a joule rating of 1,500 or more. Edit 11/9/2023; The power strips are still going strong. I highly recommend this product, the durability and low cost is worth it. All whilst adding a bit of a safety net for some appliances. Read more
