Surge Protector Power Strip Tower JACKYLED 12 AC Outlets 3000W 15A and 5 USB Slots 8A Desktop Smart Charging Station Multiple Protection with Heavy Duty 6.5ft 14 AWG Extension Cord for Home

First, I thought Id like the on/off switches for each individual row of plugs but I dont because if I accidently hit a switch it turns that row of outlets on or off and I do (frequently enough to be a hassle) hit them BUT dont know it and that whole row is now off. To boot, they are rocker switches and easily hit inadvertantly. I often plug things in that dont give any instant feedback such as a boot beep or bright light so I just assume its on (think of plugging in your phone charger without the phone connected (often it does nothing, its just there...so you thought). You just assume it is hot when you set your phone on it to charge later that night. This whole dynamic is just a pain in the ass for me because mine is on the floor and though easy to access, I dont have table top viewing angles so often things are done by touch. You know what I mean. This is just real life stuff I am encountering with this device which leads me to the reason most of all I dont like this thing. All of the outless are arranged vertically. Yes, its a tower, we know this going in right. I did and it is the thing that attracted me most to it but is the reason I dont like at all. Every time I want to plug or unplug something, it is at best a 2 handed job. It is very difficult to plug and unplug things, particularly with one hand because the tree wants to tip over every time you do so you have to hold with one hand and pull with the other and often you pull out an unintended plug and blip your computer just went off. All of this seems obvious but I did not think of this being such a hassle. I find myself looking for my old flat power strips because they, for me are easier to deal with. Because of these things, I do not fully recommend this item. Its built nice, packed nice and looks nice and seems durable but that is the end of the good.

cord could be longer

My desk was a mess, a tangle of cords with multiple surge protectors taking up much needed work space. I bought a 12 socket/4 USB power tower and now I have room to work. The sockets are well spaced and alternate direction so that all of them are usable, even with wall warts plugged in. I took away a star because the USB ports are not QC 2.0 or 3.0 so they are NOT quick charging, despite claims otherwise. I have to use one of the 12 sockets for a QC adapter, which makes the USB ports useless except for charging my fitbit. I realized that before I bought this tower, but unfortunately there were no other towers with QC capability either. Nonetheless, I am still much happier using one compact tower instead of needing multiple power strips due to bulky plugs blocking sockets. One caution is that the wall warts can sometimes be a bit too heavy for the vertical orientation and want to fall out of the socket, so you may need to play around with where you plug stuff in to minimize that. If a plug is pulling out from the weight, a lower socket usually works better, or plug another wall wart below it that can help support it.

To charge multiple devices at once

This is a perfect solution to having an electrical source when you need it. In addition, it has USB ports.

There is a lot of great features to this power strip. It has a lot of plugs, surge protected and has an option to use only half of the tower or the whole tower. One thing I don’t like is that all the outlets are in the same direction which means if you have a long plug it takes up 3 plug spaces.

Replaced a power strip and USB charging hub with this tower. It has enough weight to not tip over with several things plugged in and multiple phones being charged. Fast charging with 4 phones charging at once. Outlets are snug whenever you plug something in. They dont pull out easily which was a huge plus because laptops get plugged in a lot and the power strip we were using they would come unplugged with the slightest tug. Overall great value and well made.

Excellent product. Exactly as described.

power strip has done a good job. No specific cons. It is pricey and 100% plastic. Design layout is good.

I bought this over a year ago for my living room I love how you can tuck it in a corner. Plus I dont have to worry about my toddler son getting to it. I loved it so much that I sent the link to my sister and my father in law to purchase. Then I bought another one for my bedroom.
