Belkin Wall Mount Surge Protector - 3 AC Multi Outlets & 2 USB Ports - Flat Rotating Plug Splitter - Wall Outlet Extender for Home, Office, Travel, Computer Desktop & Phone Charger - 918 Joules

I have always been concerned about surge protection for my electronics when traveling. Sometimes I take corded surge protectors with me, but they are bulky and heavy. So, I recently started looking for an alternative and found several on Amazon. I preferred a known brand, protection of 800 Joules or greater, and, ideally, an Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) seal. I found two Belkin devices that fit my needs, this Belkin protector (with 3 AC and 2 USB ports) and the smaller Belkin 1-outlet SurgeCube (not sure if the SurgeCube is UL listed). When traveling, my charging needs are: laptop (AC), camera battery charger (AC), Kindle (AC or USB), and cell phone (AC or USB). I decided this Belkin Surge Protector (with 3 AC and 2 USB) was the best fit for my needs. But I was uncertain about the size after reading conflicting information. I decided to order it and see for myself. Dimensions. The product dimensions listed on Amazon are: 2.2 x 5.16 x 7.2 inches. These dimensions seem to be for the box the product comes in, which I measured as 1.9 x 4.4 x 7.9 inches. The dimensions of the product itself are: 1.5 x 2 (3.25 counting the plug) x 4.0 inches. It is basically the size of my eyeglasses case. The weight is comparable to my morning coffee mug. So compact, but not tiny. Certainly more travel-friendly than my corded surge protecting power strips. See my photos. What I like. Rotating plug should allow flexibility in using outlets. Indicator light shows the unit is functioning. Ample plug-ins, both AC and USB, to accommodate my needs. UL listed seal. Manufacturer states 918 Joule rating. What I don't like: It would be nice if the plug prongs folded down, out of the way. Rotating the plug is a bit harder than I expected (you do have to depress a button under the plug while rotating), hoping it might get easier with practice. I tried it at home and it seems to work well, will add it to my kit for my next trip.

Purchased this surge protector yesterday, after seeing it in a video review for the Echo Flex on YouTube. Here is my back story: I live in a one bedroom apartment, and these apartments are old, were built in the 60's. Anyway, the Bathroom GFC plus is in a strange place, it's between the toilet and the sink on the wall. Because the sink is a cabinet sink, Echo Flex will not go directly into the outlet because of space. The Flex is a little too wide for the space. I had tried the three sided Wall taps that turn the front outlet horizontal instead of vertical, and while this worked. I wasn't satisfied fully because the Flex is supposed to be vertical, even though Amazon doesn't demand this, I wanted to try to get it vertical in my spot. The Belkin surge protector is a perfect solution, and while for me, I don't need the USB ports, the Flex has one, if I do. The main purpose was to have a flexible outlet to give the Flex more room to plug in vertically. The added bonus here , at least for me is, the outlet is GFC and the Belkin is a surge protector, so not a high possibility, the extra protection is there. The Belkin has a little button you hold down on the back to rotate the plug, and it seems like it can rotate in a full 360 degrees, at least half a circle, if not full. I usually wait some time to write reviews, to give time to pass, however I feel like in this case It was for a specific purpose, and it worked out of the box perfectly, So I posted this review. One tip I would give Amazon, if they read these reviews, maybe provide an adapter with the Echo Flex for these types of situations. Not everyone is going to take the time to problem solve and just give the product a bad rating, even if there is a simple fix like this. It's just a thought to help prevent bad reviews that could stop the sale of products over an issue a particular person wasn't willing to take the time to solve. Bottom Line, I love the echo Flex, and this adjustable surge protector has made it much easier to use in my desired location.

Great option for adding more plugs with the surge protector option. I really like the space saving this provides for the value I paid. High quality and easy to use!

Quality seems quite good. Works great and I love that it screws into the wall outlet so it's secure when you unplug things. The charging USB are handy too. My only issue is that it's pretty big in both width and thickness, so it would be nice if they could make it a bit more streamlined. The location I wanted to use it in was next to the washer/dryer valve opening and the outlet was pretty close to the outside edge of the insert and I couldn't use this there since it was so wide. I had a different surge protector, narrower that worked there and I'll use this one elsewhere, so it's still needed and useful.

It works great! Have 4 iPads charging on it for my kids. Wish it would have had directions as it comes with a screw on it and I was so confused as it wouldn’t fit if you didn’t take it off. Also it’s so you can screw it in the outlet so it doesn’t fall off I haven’t done it yet but it stays in place for now.

I saw this unit when searching for USB power supplies and it stuck out as something that would work well for traveling. I was very right in that assumption. It went on a trip the day it arrived and performed exceptionally well. may be hard to get excited about a USB adapter and a mini power strip, but Belkin did this one right. The USB ports provide plenty of juice (unlike many underpowered generics, this easily powered my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 with no concern. Other USB devices were equally happy). The 3 power outlets allowed me to have my MBPro, Airport express, and anything else needed. The rotating 3 pin plug is a great feature to be sure you plug in at the right angle to assure your cables hang down and aren't being forced in an awkward direction. The only minute I see in this unit -- I wish that one of the 117V power outlets (either end) was rotated 90 degrees so that a wall wart power supply wouldn't take up two (and possibly, with a large one, all three) slots. I travel with a specific production rig that has one traditional power 2 pin power cord, one traditional 3 pin power cord, and a wall wart and this is the only bummer, either plugging the wart directly into the wall, if the second of the traditional two wall outlets is available, or plugging what is in the second plug on the wall (if it isn't also a wart) into the third available Belkin outlet and the wart into the wall. Sounds like a small thing, but it sometimes results in not being able to run off of one outlet, which is the point (knowing that your entire travel setup is supported by a single 117V 15A outlet) I didn't take off a star for this - but it certainly would've made a product Im very happy to be traveling with perfect.

These are AWESOME!!! You can rotate the 3 prongs so that it is easier to plug it where you want. (Sometimes the little white button you push down, while you turn the prongs, can be a bit hard to press in.) They aren’t heavy & the prong cover slides in the slit on the opposite side, so that the unit is more stable. Belkin Rocks!!

This little wall tap is excellent. Good material, nice little weight to it. I LOVE the fact that it has a swivel feature. Very good quality piece

Es muy bueno y practico ayuda a proteger tus equipos y lo puedes acoplar fácilmente ya que se puede mover la clavija en base a la posición del contacto y por otro lado a un buen precio y calidad

the voltage is not compatible and its burning

Recomiendo ampliamente este protector de Belkin, trabaja muy bien, he conectado varios equipos y cargo mi celular. Es practico ya que su tamaño es perfecto para espacios reducidos. Trabaja muy bien conectando, monitor, equipos de computo, tv, videojuegos.

Nice little gizmo. Frees up electrical outlets for common items, lamps for example, and allows for two personal devices (tablets, smartphones, etc.) to charge at the same time without an adapter. Of course, add in three outlet adapters, and you could charge up to five devices at the same time. This would also be a very useful gadget while traveling. All in all, a very useful gizmo for any household with multiple devices.

Sin duda es una buena opción a un precio muy bueno, la marca es reconocida, la calidad del producto es excelente, los puertos USB son de carga rápida, el tiempo que lo he usado ha funcionado muy bien, es una compra recomendada.
