Staples 2-Outlet 918 Joule Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports

Comments about Staples 2-Outlet 918 Joule Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports:

This surge protector is a space saver. I can eliminate cords on the floor connected to a large surge protector. With 2 USB Ports and 2 Outlet sockets it is a lot in a very small size.

I use it at home and for travel to give me extra outlets and USB Charging Ports.

The prongs for the outlet fold flat inside the surge protector. The folding flat prongs makes it super easy to pack. It is very light and takes up little space in a suitcase. I love it. The tiny size and light weight makes it perfect for packing in a suitcase. At home it eliminates the mess of cords on the floor.

The surge protector fits flush against the wall. I was worried it would not fit tight into the socket and wiggle around. It does not wiggle around. It is a good tight fit.

It sticks out to one side. It does not cover the other outlet. That leaves the other outlet open to whatever you need to plug in. Whether I plug it into the top or bottom outlet it always leaves the other outlet open for use since it goes to the side and not up and down like other small surge protectors.

The only thing that bothers me is that rotating the outlets to another position is very difficult. Those suckers are tight and do not turn easily. I can not turn the sockets by hand. I unplugged it and stuck a scissors inside the socket to try and turn it. After some struggle it began to click, click, click as it ever so slowly turned. This is not an easy process. The outside plastic was scratched from me turning the socket with the scissors. I do not recommend doing this. I don't know how you can easily turn the sockets. I can't find a solution to this problem. This is the only drawback I can see.

It puts 2 USB Outlets in the space of a plug. You get four outlets in a small device that has some surge protection.

This is an excellent device. I am an over-the-road truck driver and have it in my sleeper. It's great because I can charge my electronic devices with the USB ports while at the same time plugging in 120v devices. The rotating outlets allow you to plug in a regular device and a big charger plug at the same time.
