I recently bought a bakers rack to go right outside my tiny kitchen, and by moving my microwave and Keurig to it, I freed up some much needed counter space. But there's no outlet on that side of the narrow wall it's against, and while I could snake the rather short microwave cord back around to the kitchen outlet, my similarly short cord on the Keurig had nowhere to go. So I figured another power strip was in order. I didn't much care about surge protection, but this one caught my eye because the plug is flat, meaning I could plug it in behind the nearby loveseat and not risk crushing it against the wall. The 10 foot cord was actually a bit more than I needed, and I knew that going in, but it means I was able to place it almost completely out of sight and have some cord length to spare. It's pretty heavy duty and seems better made than the other power strips I've been using for years in different rooms. Exactly what I needed, and at a great price.
I first measured out how long I needed the cord to be so that I wouldn't have extra cord laying around. Then I use my wire-staple-gun to secure the cord to the wall neatly.
And last I use double-sided-sticky-Velcro and I placed it on the back of the power adapter so that it would hold in place on the wall.
Came out very clean!
Works as described. Only issue is that it is somewhat difficult to get the plugs to go in all the way. It's not just one, but all of the outlets are this way on both of the units I purchased. Otherwise, exactly what I needed.
I have purchased 3 of these over the course of the last 3 months (10'). The home that we moved into did not offer much in the way of lighting. We needed a number of lamps to brighten the place up and several are linked to a specific outlet for the light switch. The longer cord was a necessity for us and got everything plugged in where it needed to be. Power strip has a small blue light near the switch to indicate it is on. We tucked it under our nightstand in the bedroom just in case to minimize any overnight glow. Outlet covers spin which can be convenient if needed. Overall I am happy with it and would not hesitate to pick up another if needed.
Nice surge protector, especially being so connected and dependent on technology..
Blue light does not turn off, its too indicate that surge protector is working and is guaranteed that electronics are protected or something.. it does not bother me as surge protector is hiding behind some things but i could imagine, in a dark room it could be annoying to someone who's sensitive to light.. its not bright enough to be a night light but in a dark room it could be like a beacon or something?
The point is, it does what its supposed to do.. Haven't had a spike in voltage or had to use the warranty but from what ive seen, used mainly as an extension for multiple outlets, its doing great!

Works well. Only complaint when you plug something in it will not always go in all the way and requires extra force to get the plug all the way in. Great for open areas, but hard to use if tucked away under desk.
Works great the only thing is I got this one because it was shown as having a straight in plug and it didn’t it has an angled plug but I made it work anyway just doesn’t look as good cause I have to plug it in upside down my outlet is upside down with the single prong at the top.
Quality item!! Very nice thick sturdy cord, rotating outlets to keep out dust & debris. We ran this behind our sofa over to the wall plug and slid it up under the edge. We needed the length, but not quite as many outlets. We can pull it out and turn on when needed. Switch lights up when on and is off when power is off. Definitely a must have item with a couple of teens around and they always need a charger!! One glance is all you need to be sure it is off and not using electricity.
Having a surge protector with a 10-foot cord may not seem like a big deal, but it is. I'd never been able to find one with a cord longer than 3 feet! I live in an old house that doesn't have a lot of outlets; the "box" has been updated so the house can handle the demand on the electricity, but that didn't give me more outlets. This allows me to plug in as many lights, and devices that I need without having to arrange my furniture so that everything is close to an outlet. Never seen one before - until I looked on Amazon!
This power strip is great, worked perfectly until my bird chewed the plastic off part of the cord, making it unsafe to use (and thankfully she didn’t hurt herself). So I’m on my second power strip of the same type and will keep a much closer eye on her when she’s hanging out by the cord! I love how the outlet covers rotate so nothing can get inside them (ideal in my bird room to keep out feather dust or food debris). The blue light is also handy as a night light so the birds don’t freak out as easily if they’re startled in the dark. Overall great power strip, hope this one lasts longer than the first!
