Cruise Essentials Flat Plug Power Strip - Slim 6-Outlet Extension Cord

Our review of the Cruise Essentials Flat Plug Power Strip finds it best suited for people who need extra outlets in tight spaces - dorm rooms, cruise cabins, small home offices, and behind furniture. The single biggest reason to buy is the ultra slim 0.35in flat plug and 45-degree right-angle head that allows the strip to sit flush against the wall and hide behind nightstands or appliances without blocking the lower duplex outlet. It is a straightforward, travel-friendly extender that prioritizes space savings and portability over surge suppression.

Key Features

• Ultra thin flat plug: The 0.35in low-profile plug keeps the strip close to the wall so it can be tucked behind beds and furniture and frees up room in tight layouts.
• 45-degree right angle design: The angled head prevents the bottom receptacle of a duplex outlet from being blocked so both wall sockets remain usable.
• Six outlets on three sides: The 6 in 1 layout accepts 2- or 3-prong flat pin plugs without blocking adjacent sockets and supports up to 1875W/125V/15A load for typical devices.
• 5 ft ultra thin extension cord: The 0.12in flat cable can be routed under rugs or through door gaps to keep cords out of sight when organizing a small room.
• Easy mount design: The integrated screw-fixation on both ends and four included screws let you quickly secure the strip to a wall or under a desk for a neater setup.
• Multi safety protection: ETL listed with onboard overload, short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage and overheating protection that will cut power if a fault is detected.

Who It's For

The Cruise Essentials strip is ideal for travelers and residents of compact spaces who need a low-profile power extender that fits where standard plugs won't. It's particularly useful on cruise ships, in college dorms, or behind heavy furniture where a flat plug and thin cable can hide the connection and keep outlets accessible.

It is not the right choice for someone who requires surge protection or advanced power conditioning for high-value electronics; those users should look for a surge-protected unit. Also, if you need a very long cable run, this 5 ft strip may be too short for some layouts.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extremely low-profile plug and thin cord make it easy to conceal behind furniture and in tight gaps.
• Six outlets in a compact form factor allow multiple devices without blocking adjacent plug spaces.
• Simple wall/desk mounting and a sturdy feel earned positive comments from users who installed it behind nightstands.
• ETL listing and built-in overload and thermal protections add a measure of safety for everyday devices.

Cons

• No surge protection, so it is not suitable as the primary protector for expensive or sensitive electronics.
• The 5 ft length is practical for many setups but may be too short for distant outlets.
