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. (Itās 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 didnāt seem worth-it. My USB charging adapters arenāt 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 ābasicā one wouldnāt be wasted. And meanwhile itās a great budget option that sacrifices none of the design, style, or function. Itās attractive, useful, well conceived/designed and executed. For well under $20. Nice color too.
Would be perfect anyplace. Though Iād think this more basic model isnāt 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 Iām wrong. But Iād get a model - of this same device if thereās one of suitable capacity - which thatās 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 donāt see it being convenient for travel - not sure about that question there, maybe more convenient than some other styles; certainly not anywhere thatās not 120V, and I doubt that at this level itās 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 youād actually have to spend money and get a proper UPC, not to mention bulky-bulky, but thatās not relevant here, for this, just this isnāt 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.
