Most Liked Positive Review

Nice travel solution for surge and power

Purchased this specifically for travel. It's nice to have additional outlets and surge protection on the road. It's compact design makes it perfect for that reason. Having additional USB powered outlets is a plus. The single reason for not giving this unit a 5 is its weight. For travel, weight is critical in today's luggage. With every bag having a charge when you fly, it would be great if the manufacturer could make this device weigh half its current weight. Of course, that also makes it very durable too. It should last years and having a hideaway power plug makes it fit easily just about anywhere. You can even use it in the lower outlet and still plug something into the upper outlet on the wall, although the larger 3 prong plugs won't fit into the upper outlet, a simple 2 prong one will. It covers the ground plug in a typical wall outlet when plugged into the bottom outlet.

Works great but design could be better

Purchased for a friend (vet)in nursing home. Thought 3 outlets would be enough (computer, bed, radio) with the 2nd outlet in wall for his bed. The surge protector is so big...Read complete review

Purchased for a friend (vet)in nursing home. Thought 3 outlets would be enough (computer, bed, radio) with the 2nd outlet in wall for his bed. The surge protector is so big,there's not enough clearance for the 3 prong bed plug. Now the nursing home staff have to unplug the computer to use the port for his breathing machine. In summary, he can only use 3 ports rather than 4. The larger surge protector is too large for the area. The staff don't like this so they unplug his computer instead and of course, he can't reach the outlet and replug the computer. He has VERY LIMITED hand motion capability and is parapalegic vet.

Comments about Staples 3-Outlet 918 Joule Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports:

Like that overall it is a small unit that plugs in the wall, but don't like the bulky design. Falls out of the socket sometimes when adding or removing plugs. Should have some sort of pad at the opposite end of its plug so that it can rest against the wall so it doesn't tip when adding or removing plugs. A little unstable, but this is the second one I bought so I like the product. Thanks.

Comments about Staples 3-Outlet 918 Joule Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports:

I take this on trips for power surge protection for my laptop and to recharge my phone and iPod (USB) w/o having to turn on my laptop. So far everthing works fine, though I don't know if I have had any power surges for it to protect my equipment. I guess I will only know that if it doesn't work... $75k warranty will cover my equipment.

  A:
  In the event of a power surge, any surge protector is meant to protect the electronics in your computer. A surge protector passes the electrical current along from the outlet to a number of electrical and electronic devices plugged into the power strip. If the voltage from the outlet surges or spikes -- rises above the accepted level -- the surge protector diverts the extra electricity into the outlet's grounding wire.
  Answered on 12/28/2010 by Amy from Staples
Q:
Ok, so it has two USB charging ports. What is the voltage and milliampere output for those two ports? I don't find the pertinent specs anywhere. My Droid USB transformer has an output of 5.1V at 850mA. My Kindle USB transformer has an output of 4.9v at 850mA. Do I dare plug either of their USB charging cables into the Staples USB charging ports?

  FWIW, I have the Sprint EVO & Sony Reader. I have plugged both into this device for charging purposes. And they charge.
  
  But to address your Q: I don't know the specs.

  A:
  I've used it for my HTC Hero smart phone with no ill effects. I would think that all USB chargers are standardized around 5 volts. Both of your devices are designed to be plugged into and, I am guessing, charged by the USB output on your computer, which probably also varies some between models. I have no concern using it for that purpose for any of my devices designed to be charged through a USB connection. Staples technical support might have a final answer but personally I am not worried about it.

Will this product work in a 240V outlet (while in another country)? (I have a similar but much bigger one from Thailand that works in 100-240V environments.)

  Generally, when a green light is on it indicates the product is functioning appropriately. However, if you have further questions about this particular product you may contact the manufacturer at 1-800-425-0049.

  If you look close, you will see that the word "protected" is under that green light. If the green light is lit, that means your connected equipment is protected which is good. :)
