5 FT Flat Plug Surge Protector Power Strip 17-in-1 - Compact USB

In this review the JouleLoom 5 FT flat plug surge protector is evaluated for users who need a space-saving power hub with many outlets and integrated USB charging. The single biggest reason to buy is its compact footprint that still provides a surprising number of connection options: 11 AC outlets plus 4 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports, all packed into a block barely 6.5 in by 4.3 in. For desks, bedside tables, and travel where outlet density and a slim flat plug matter, this power strip delivers convenience and thoughtful layout in one compact package.

Key Features

• Compact 17-in-1 layout: Eleven AC outlets are arranged around the edges and spaced 1.2 in apart so up to 17 plugs can be used without crowding larger adapters.
• Integrated USB charging: Four USB-A and two USB-C ports provide consolidated device charging so bulky wall chargers are no longer required.
• Flat plug and slim profile: The 0.7 in thick flat plug with a 45-degree right-angle design keeps the strip from blocking neighboring wall outlets and fits behind furniture.
• Five foot extension cord: A 5 ft cord gives flexible placement for desks or living rooms while keeping the power hub reachable.
• Multiple safety protections: An 8-point safety system including surge protection, overload protection, temperature control and fire resistance offers protection for connected devices.
• Mounting options: Two multi-directional hanging holes let you mount the unit horizontally or vertically to save counter space and reduce clutter.

Who It's For

The JouleLoom 17-in-1 power strip suits apartment dwellers, small office users, and travelers who need many outlets in a compact footprint and appreciate built-in USB charging. It is especially handy for desks and media centers where bulky adapters would otherwise block adjacent sockets.

Those who rely on consistently high durability under heavy daily use or who require guaranteed performance of every USB-C port for high-wattage devices should consider alternatives if any single-port failure would be a critical issue, since some users report inconsistent operation with a few outlets or USB-C ports.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High outlet density in a small package lets many devices be connected at once without adapters blocking neighbors.
• Smart USB ports reduce the need for extra chargers and centralize charging for phones and consoles.
• Slim flat plug and mounting holes make placement behind furniture or on walls straightforward.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed reliability for a few outlets and USB-C ports, so occasional failures have been noted.
• Durability concerns have been raised about plugs loosening over long-term heavy use.
