Power Strip Surge Protector 8 Outlets with 4 USB Ports - Desktop

Our review of this 12-in-1 power strip finds it best for desks, nightstands, and small home offices that need to power many devices without a tangle of adapters. The single biggest reason to buy is the three-side layout with 2.2 in spaced outlets plus four USB ports (including two USB C) that lets large plugs sit side-by-side while still offering smart USB charging. It is a practical organizer-style surge protector that prioritizes space savings and safety features for everyday electronics.

Key Features

• 12 IN 1 Power Strip: Combines eight AC outlets and four USB ports to run up to twelve devices at once, reducing the need for extra adapters and saving desk space.
• Two USB C Ports: Adds two USB C ports that can deliver up to 5V/3A each for modern phones and tablets, improving compatibility with newer devices.
• Wide Outlet Spacing: The 3-side design with 2.2 in between outlets prevents bulky adapters from blocking neighboring sockets and keeps plugs organized.
• Built for Safety: Includes surge protection with a minimum energy-absorbing capacity of 900 Joules and an integrated circuit breaker for overload protection.
• Durable Braided Cord: A 5 ft braided extension cord with pure copper conductors and a flat right-angle plug fits tight spaces and resists deformation.
• Wall Mount Friendly: Two mounting holes on the back allow the strip to be secured to walls or furniture for a cleaner setup.

Who It's For

This power strip is for people who need a compact charging station that handles a mix of AC-powered devices and USB-charged gadgets, such as gamers, remote workers, college students, and bedside setups. The wide spacing and three-sided layout are particularly useful for users who regularly plug in large power bricks or multiple camera and audio accessories.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require fast charge protocols like QC 3.0 or very high-wattage appliance support beyond the rated limits, and anyone needing a professional-grade surge unit for whole-office protection rather than a desktop station.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Eight widely spaced AC outlets accommodate large adapters without blocking adjacent sockets.
• Four USB ports, including two USB C, let you charge phones and tablets alongside AC devices.
• Built-in surge and overload protection with a lighted switch improves safety and peace of mind.
• Five foot braided cord and flat right-angle plug help place the strip in tight corners and behind furniture.

Cons

• USB charging is not QC 3.0 fast charge; output is capped at 5V/3.1A total, which is slower than dedicated fast chargers.
• A small number of users report individual USB ports failing, so occasional reliability variation is possible.

Our Verdict

The strip is a sensible value for anyone needing a tidy, multi-device desktop station with solid safety features and wide outlet spacing. It is especially useful for shared workspaces and bedrooms where large adapters and multiple USB devices coexist. If fast USB charging or heavy-duty office surge protection is critical, consider a different model, but for most consumer desktop uses this unit strikes a good balance of features and price.
