AiJoy Flat Plug Power Strip Tower with 9 Outlets and 5 USB Ports

Our review of the AiJoy Flat Plug Power Strip Tower finds it best suited for students, home office users, and anyone with limited desk or bedside space who needs to charge multiple devices at once. The single biggest reason to buy is its thoughtful space-saving design: a vertical tower with generously spaced outlets and a 0.39-in flat plug on a 6.5 ft thin cord that hides behind furniture while still allowing use of adjacent wall outlets. This review focuses on real-world desk use and how the tower balances outlet capacity with surge protection.

Key Features

• Flat plug design: The 0.39-in flat plug and 45 right-angled connector let the cord sit flush behind furniture so you can use the second wall outlet without obstruction.
• High outlet capacity: Nine AC outlets plus five USB ports allow up to 14 devices to be connected at once, useful for crowded desks or charging stations.
• Generous spacing: The 1.3-in spacing between AC outlets accommodates bulky adapters so you rarely block neighboring sockets.
• USB variety and smart charging: Two USB-C ports and three USB-A ports with built-in smart IC deliver appropriate charging current to mixed device types.
• Surge and safety features: A 1200J surge protection rating, 13A circuit breaker and fire-resistant ABS shell provide multiple layers of protection for connected gear.
• Long thin cord: The 6.5 ft thin extension cord is easy to tuck away and keeps the tower within reach without excess cable clutter.

Who It's For

The AiJoy tower is aimed at dorm rooms, small home offices and bedside tables where floor or desk space is limited and many devices need simultaneous charging. Users who rely on a mix of USB-C and USB-A devices will appreciate the flexibility and the smart IC that optimizes charge for each device.

People who need heavy-duty industrial power delivery or dedicated heavy appliances should look elsewhere, since the strip is rated for normal electronics use up to 1625W and is designed for consumer devices rather than high-current machinery. Also, if you need a very long cord or permanent hardwired installation, this consumer extension cord may not meet that requirement.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Space-saving vertical design frees desk area while offering many outlets.
• Flat 0.39-in plug and 45 right-angled connector avoid blocking adjacent wall outlets.
• Two USB-C and three USB-A ports with smart IC make charging mixed devices convenient and reasonably fast.
• Built-in 1200J surge protection and 13A breaker add a layer of safety for everyday electronics.

Cons

• Not intended for high-power appliances beyond the 1625W/13A limit, so avoid heavy loads.
• USB output totals 5V/3.1A across five ports, which may reduce charging speed if many devices draw simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the flat plug block the second wall outlet?
The 0.39-in flat plug with a 45 right-angled connector is designed to sit flush so it does not block the second wall outlet in most installations.

How many devices can I charge at once from the USB ports?
There are five USB ports (two USB-C and three USB-A) that share a total USB output of 5V/3.1A, so many devices can be connected but total charging speed will be shared.

Is the tower protected against power surges?
Yes, the unit includes 1200J surge protection, a 13A circuit breaker and overload/short-circuit protection within a fire-resistant ABS shell.
