Perfect for travelers - we got them for our latest ...

We have used these for 2 years now and they are UL listed. Perfect for travelers - we got them for our latest team of 6 who travel all over the U.S. One of our team members had to move to temporary housing due to her home being destroyed by a recent hurricane in the Houston, TX area. I was provisioning her laptop and new phone during a storm since we were trying to get everyone on-boarded for the new project's start date. In that 1 hour of training and provisioning, her temporary home was hit 3X with power surges and she was needing to take the new laptop and phone to her appointments the next day while also trying to finish the compliance and new product training online. It was nuts. This device stopped all that while she was traveling and she got her own larger unit for her home since what she had before was destroyed.

Finally, a surge protector that doesn't block the other outlet!

The person who built our house decided to wire it in a way that the top switches in each room are controlled by a light switch. Every last one of them. So, needless to say, we have to plug most things into the lower outlets, resulting in us needing lots of outlet extenders and surge protectors. This is the only non-hanging surge protector we've found that actually allows us full use of the top outlet when it's plugged into the bottom outlet. Most others are just too bulbous, blocking at least 1/4 of the top outlet when plugged into the bottom. Why would you do this, manufacturers? Why? Anyway, we're very pleased that this product has avoided that little design flaw, and being able to rotate it is a really neat perk! Plus, the USB ports make it really easy to charge phones and other electronics. Couldn't be more satisfied!

Very handy for traveling!

This little thing is great! Use it when I travel and it condenses what needs to be packed! I can charge my phone, tablet and laptop in one spot and I know they are protected if there is a power surge. As a plus, it is big enough that my iPhone 6 can rest on it as it charges! The plug rotating also helps, but I found that the little white button that releases the turning feature is now stuck in the "released" setting.

Charger AND Surge Protector...Genius!

This product, the 2.1 amp, 10 watt version, works well for my intended purpose. It fills the need of a surge protector while adding 2 USB ports for charging my iPhone and iPad. The swivel plug is a nice feature, though it takes a little force to turn it the first few times. I agree with some reviews I have read on this product...yes it is a bit heavy and yes, it does stick out from the wall a bit more than I would have liked, but not really that much more than a standard electrical plug does. As far as the usb charging capabilities, I would say that it is as good as any aftermarket charger. I really like the fact that this one item fits the bill for 2 items. Where else can you get a quality surge protector and 2 usb chargers for less than $15 that works this well. I am well pleased and would recommend this to anyone.

Wonderful device, perfect for wight spaces and domestic U.,S. Travel.

This thing is great. I got it for my father because his cell phone charger was bulky and took up too much room. This fixed it, and added more outlets and USB Charging spots. Now the options are endless. It swivels (you have to push an unlock button underneath the outlet) Nice green LED light to show operation. the Two USB ports are great, for multiple devices. What was unexpected is that it CAME WITH A USB CABLE! Thats right, it came with a USB 2.0 to mini usb cable about 3' long. The 3 pronged outlet has a plastic safety cover that can be easily removed for transportation in bags and travel. Nothing negative to say.

Mini is relative...but still a good item.

Mini is definitely relative in this case. (I will be posting photos of the unit next to a soda can & an iPhone.) It works as described. When my husband & I travel together, we often have two laptops, two cell phones & two ipods. Sometimes, finding outlets for everything can be a PITA. This is helpful. I've had an iPhone & an iPod charging on the USB ports & a netbook & Kodak Zi8 pocket cam charging on the front ports. Contrary to what some reviews claim, you can indeed use both USB ports at the same time. Perhaps the reviewers were experiencing "slow trickle" charging using the USB ports for things like laptops & such. (Nothing new in the charging world.) But if you use the front outlets for items that need a lot of juice & the USB ports for things like cell phones, cameras, MP3 players, etc, you may be fine. (I certainly have not had a problem.) Another key feature, IMO, is you can change the orientation of the plug, so it can go up, down, right or left (see my photos.) I even use this at home, quite often. Anyway, I highly recommend this unit, if you find yourself regularly hunting down power outlets. PS - after publishing this review, I bought a second one. At under $11, this product is a great deal. I'll be able to keep one in my laptop bag & use another in my home office.

The swivel plug-in sets it apart

This is a review for the Belkin 3-Outlet SurgePlus Mini Travel Swivel Charger Surge Protector with Dual USB Ports (2.1 AMP / 10 Watt), BST300 by Belkin. I put this device to the test this week and I'm very happy with the results. It's especially good for awkward angles and for consolidating the charging of your electronics while traveling. - Be sure to check the specs for the charger's dimensions to make sure it's a size you're happy with. - The swivel feature on the plug works just as I'd hoped it would. It perfectly simplifies connectivity issues in hotel rooms. - I appreciate the sturdy construction and the size is appropriate for the features provided. - The prongs on the swivel head plug have a snug-fitting cover which keeps it from snagging on garments. - There's a handy "active" light on the front so you're insured you're charging from a live receptacle. - Power surge protection - Three AC outlets, 2 USB ports If this review was helpful to you, please check "yes" below. Thanks!

well made strip

Love this when traveling, this is actually the second one I owned. First was stolen at the airport going through security. Had it in my side zipper on my backpack... after going through went to a place to setup laptop and was not in bag. Of course I asked and they claim was not in bag like I did not just put it in there at hotel.... In any case I liked it enough I bought a second to replace it. I do like that it has surge protection and the usb ports so when traveling can hook a few items in. I would hope the old unit electrocutes the thief that stole the first one but probably no such luck as these devices are well made! :)

IMPORTANT NOTE ON REVIEWS FOR THIS PRODUCT

sorry for yelling, but i can see that the reviews for this product are often a bit confusing. Why? Because Amazon in their infinite wisdom has decided to COMBINE the reviews for two very different versions of one product. I purchased, and quite love, the 1AMP/5 Watt version of this surge suppressor. Yes it's not quite "mini" and yes the button to turn the plug takes some force, but all in all this thing has served me and my girl all around the world, usually connected to some dubious wall plug and hanging off a two prong foreign current adapter. Yea yea, probably not safe so I don't recommend this, but we've been using two of these since Oct 2010 and they both work well for iphones (4s and 5) Kindle Fire, Google Nexus and blackberries. Now for the important part of the review...there is a new version! It has 2.1AMP/10 Watt. Many of the reviews that complain this device is underpowered are referring to the 1AMP/5Watt version. If you are at all concerned with the power supply issues, just buy the newer version. It will handle almost anything. Back to the foreign adapter thing, I've found that the plastic case that came with my iphone headphones (square thing) is just perfect for helping to balance this monster against the wall. Use it like you/instead of would the plastic piece that comes covering the prongs.

but I also haven't noticed a difference to the point I felt like I needed to time it

I would actually consider this a "travel" surge protector. I have seen other ones marketed as travel, but this one is actually compact comparatively speaking. It's still not small, but for 3 outlets and 2 USB ports it's not much larger than 2 USB AC adapters and it leaves outlets available for other devices. I have not timed how long it takes to charge my phone in comparison to its dedicated charger, but I also haven't noticed a difference to the point I felt like I needed to time it. All in all I think the this is a great little surge protector. I didn't dock any start because I really don't see how they could make it any smaller, I do like what it offers.
