LENCENT 2 Prong Power Strip 6-Outlet Extender - Converts 2 to 3 Prong

In this review of the LENCENT 2 Prong Power Strip, a practical solution is evaluated for anyone with older, non-grounded outlets who needs more sockets. The bottom line: it converts a polarized 2-prong outlet into a grounded, 3-prong, 6-outlet extender while adding surge protection and wide spacing to accommodate bulky plugs. For households, hotel travelers, or renters who cannot replace outlets, this adapter delivers extra capacity and added safety in a compact, mountable design.

Key Features

• 6-in-1 Outlet Extender: Provides six widely spaced AC outlets so multiple bulky plugs can be used simultaneously without blocking adjacent sockets.
• Grounding Protection: Includes a metal grounding slot and mounting screw so the adapter lines up with the outlet and maintains a grounding connection when secured.
• 3-Sided Wide Space Design: Outlets are arranged on three sides with about 1.6 in between so phones, tablets, and power bricks fit without crowding.
• 1728J Surge Protection: Built-in complementary surge circuits (TVS, MOV, GDT) absorb surges quickly, indicated by a SURGE PROTECTED light when active.
• Superior Safety: Features overload, short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage, and overheating protection inside a fire-resistant PC shell for safer indoor use.

Who It's For

This adapter is aimed at owners of older homes, landlords, and travelers who frequently encounter 2-prong polarized outlets and need a safe, simple way to power several devices at once. It is especially useful in bedrooms, bathrooms, and hotel rooms where extra, well-spaced outlets make charging multiple devices easier.

It is not a substitute for a properly rewired grounded circuit or professional electrical upgrades; those who need full, hardwired ground integrity or higher amperage capacity should look to professional electrical work or a hardwired surge solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Converts a 2-prong polarized outlet into a 3-prong grounded extender while offering six widely spaced outlets.
• Built-in 1728J surge protection with indicator light provides visible assurance that devices are being protected.
