KRIEGER Universal Power Strip Surge Protector 6 Outlets - Travel Ready

In this review the KRIEGER Universal Power Strip is examined for travelers and small-office users who need a single, reliable surge-protected strip that accepts many international plugs. The bottom line: this is a practical, professionally built surge protector with six universal outlets and a 6 ft cord that protects connected devices from spikes while accommodating a wide range of plug types; it is ideal for use in 220-240V regions but is not a voltage converter.

Key Features

• Six universal outlets: Lets multiple devices from different countries plug in at once, reducing the need for separate adapters and saving desk space.
• 450 joules surge suppression: Provides protection against common power spikes and line noise to help safeguard computers, printers and other electronics.
• Built-in switch and 10 amp breaker: Offers simple power control and overload protection across all outlets so you can cut power quickly if needed.
• Fail-safe thermal fusing: Adds a layer of fire protection by disconnecting under extreme, sustained overvoltage conditions.
• 6 ft cord and keyhole mounts: Gives flexible placement options for desks, walls and workstations without crowding nearby sockets.

Who It's For

The KRIEGER strip is best for international travelers, expat workers and small offices that need a rugged power strip which accepts a variety of plug types at 220-240V mains. It suits people bringing laptops, chargers and peripherals to Europe or other Type E/F regions who want surge protection built in.

It is not for anyone who needs a voltage converter or step-down transformer; users with purely 110V equipment must ensure their devices support 220-240V or use a proper converter. Also, those needing a very compact travel cube may prefer a smaller, more travel-oriented unit since some customers find this model larger than expected.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Accepts most international plug types so it works with UK, US, European, Chinese and Australian plugs.
• Solid build quality and professional-grade surge suppression give confidence for sensitive electronics.
• Useful 6 ft cord and keyhole mounting tabs make placement flexible in apartments and workspaces.
• Integrated switch and 10 amp breaker simplify power management and add overload protection.

Cons

• Not a voltage converter; it will not change 220-240V to 110V, so some devices still need separate conversion.
• Size is larger than some travel power strips, which can be inconvenient for minimal-packing travelers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this convert voltage for US devices?
No. The strip accepts many plug types but does not change voltage; a separate transformer is required for devices that need 110V.

Can it be mounted to a wall or desk?
Yes. The unit has keyhole mounting tabs in the housing for versatile wall or under-desk placement.

Does it protect sensitive electronics?
Yes. It includes 450 joules of surge suppression, a 10 amp breaker and thermal fusing to help protect connected equipment from spikes and sustained surges.
