Use at Home and Travel

I use these Amazon 6-Outlet Surge Protectors at home and when I travel. I have a handful of them at home in my bedroom, kitchen, family room. When I travel overseas, I use take on along with my international adapter. The adapter supports the different shape plug and this 6-Outlet surge protector provides a) surge protection, and b) 6-outlets to plug my electronic devices. Keep in mind that these do not convert 220V to 120V. Your laptop charger or phone charge will do the converting. I would highly recommend this outlet for travel as it makes any hotel room a charging station for the entire family. Actually, my teenage kids now have their own when we travel together.

Can't Go Wrong With AmazonBasics Products

Not a whole lot to say about this item. It is a power strip with a 2 Foot cord. Solid construction, the On/Off switch feels very sturdy and both surge protectors work great out of the box. Couldn't ask for anything better, especially for the price. If you aren't taking advantage on the price/quality of AmazonBasics products you are really missing out. I have never purchased one of their items that I am not thoroughly impressed with. And lots of times they are better made than similar items that cost a lot more. If you haven already tried an AmazonBasics product order one and you won't regret it. I used to purchase them because they are cheaper than most similar products made by other companies. After a few purchases I realized they are the same or higher quality than similar products that usually cost a lot more. Note - I am in no way sponsored by Amazon, receive free/discounted items from them or have any ties to the company. I am just a fan of the AmazonBasics brand and you will be, too.

Great, "basic" item

Look and act exactly as you would expect. For the price, compared to competitors, this was easily the best deal I found in a pinch. It's a "basics" item and it's pretty darn basic so I'm not sure what else I can say about it. The red light is fairly bright when on, so if you want it hidden or less noticeable, this may not work. In most cases, I can't imagine how this could be worth paying for something more expensive, though. Though I ordered the black, they sent me the white. I'm just not in the mood to deal with a return and they're fine for what I'm using them for, but that's the only complaint I could find, if you count it as one at all. Considering they're going to hide behind an entertainment center, I'm happy.

great "2 pack" protection....

I surprised my wife with a new power strip...the wall outlet looked like a "electricians nightmare"...I was going to take a picture of this nest of wires and post on my review but I was afraid that my landlord would see this... so I turned to Amazon for some surge protecting and they had this great deal on a 2 pack!!!!....basic protection at a great price... it's like getting 2 protectors, for the price of one!!!!...power cord measures about 2 foot, the surge protector is about a foot long by inch75...need to go check her sewing room....going to buy more at this price, and as always Amazon back's there product...you can't go wrong with that... this 2 pack comes in colors of your choice...

Works Great Do Not Use with Space Heaters, Microwaves, Hairdryers, Power Tools, ECT

Fire Department Says Replace these every 5 years so after you put in service add five years remove from service also the Caution on this product is Do not exceed ratings of 125 Volt AC, 15 Amps, 1875 Watts - Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel. - This device features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component but will maintain power to the load - now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the device. If there are any problems in getting the surge protector to work properly, stop and read the troubleshooting section of these instructions.

Better than expensive counterparts!

Even though we have a large amount of outlets in each of our rooms, in this growing electronic era, we didn't have enough at central spots. In addition, we needed to replace some existing power strips that I have had around for years. The existing ones weren't only showing their age, but they also that just weren't built well (even though I paid more for them than I'd care to admit). I ordered four of these Amazon Basic Surge Protector Power Strips; (1) TV, Cable, Stereo and Internet Area (2) 30+ Gallon Fish Tank (3) 20+ Gallon Fish Tank (4) for our Computer. In a quick comparison, it was obvious these strips were built better than the ones I was replacing (and cost a whole bunch less). The cord plugs fit in tighter, without wiggling, and the black cord makes it easier to hide behind black furniture.

Works great and has a low profile

Have been impressed with the framework and form factor of this product. Most surge protectors are really bigger than they need to be, but these are quite pleasing. I was able to setup a dozen in a small business office needing some bending in some creative ways, and each time they worked for the intent. Even had a power surge when a truck hit a power pole outside the office space and we had not received our UPS batteries yet. Lost a microwave that was not connected to any protectors, but all computers and LCD tv all had no problems. I do not recommend letting your toddler stick paperclips in the holes though; that the surge protection does not seem to help with that as much as I would had hoped.

Replacement at good price

I was recently told that surge protectors do go bad after 4-8 years by a friend. Google said it was less than that, but considering the one I was using was about 15 years old?? Definitely time for a replacement. I had sticker shock at the price of the cheapest model from a well-known store at $9 ea. That was a no frills 6 outlet unit. Now one with USB ports was more but I have wall units so that would be useless for my situation. Anyway.. jumped on Amazon, found these 2 packs for about $2 more than a single. Was a no brainer for me. So far it is in excellent working order, no issues.

Everyone needs these in their home!

I have no clue why it took me so long to order a power strip. I know that I used to have an extra one somewhere, so I just kept putting off buying a new one. Meanwhile, I was constantly plugging and unplugging my laptops, printers, cellphone, pencil sharpener, kindle, and more. I was only going to buy one power strip, but I had to take advantage of this great deal for two power strips. It's crazy that something as simple as buying two power strips can make life easier! lol! It's so nice to just have everything I need in my room already plugged in. Not having to worry about changing everything around constantly. I just wish that I had bought them earlier!

Great strips for the price

My husband really likes these strips and so do I. He usually complains when I get more, but we always wind up using them. I like them being black bcs they don't stick out as much as the traditional whitish colored ones. They blend in with things so it's less obvious it's there. The cord is actually longer than other we have and we both like that. My husband really likes them because they have more outlets and reach farther, but also they're a great price. They are apparently easy to hang as well. I don't know what we use for hanging, but apparently we do.
