Rectangular Power Strip Tower Surge Protector 9 Outlet with USB-C

In this review the reviewer looks at a rectangular power strip tower designed to charge up to 12 devices at once and protect connected gear. The bottom line: this tower is best for desks, entertainment centers, or workbenches where multiple AC plugs and USB ports are needed in a compact footprint. It stands out for providing a mix of nine AC outlets plus two USB-A and one USB-C port while offering surge protection and a sturdy, fire-resistant shell that makes it a practical option for everyday home or office use.

Key Features

• Multiple outlets: Nine AC outlets arranged on the tower let several bulky plugs be used without blocking adjacent sockets for tidy cable management.
• USB charging built in: Two USB-A ports (5V/2.4A) and one USB-C port (5V/3A) allow phones, tablets, and accessories to charge without using AC adapters.
• Surge protection: 1080J surge suppression and built-in over-heat, voltage and current protections help safeguard connected electronics from spikes.
• Durable housing: A fire-resistant PC shell combined with easy on/off power buttons and ETL certification gives confidence in everyday safety and use.
• Stable compact design: Anti-slip rubber feet and a small footprint mean it can sit on a desk or floor without tipping or taking too much space.
• Long heavy-duty cord: The 6ft 15A 14AWG UL certified power cord and 45-degree right angle plug improve placement flexibility behind furniture or in tight spaces.

Who It's For

This tower is aimed at home office users, entertainment center owners, and small workshop setups that need a high outlet count plus USB charging without crowding a power strip horizontally. It suits people who value built-in surge protection and a compact vertical design to free up surface area.

It is less suited for travel or very tight spaces where a smaller slim plug-in strip would fit better; also those who need advanced surge ratings for expensive AV racks may want a higher joule protector. Parents should still place it out of reach of small children despite the secure design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High device capacity with nine AC outlets plus three USB ports reduces the need for extra chargers.
• Built-in 1080J surge protection and multiple safety cutoffs help protect gear from electrical faults.
• Sturdy, fire-resistant construction and ETL certification deliver reliable everyday use.
• Long 6ft cord and right-angle plug make placement behind furniture easier.

Cons

• Size is compact for a tower but may be larger than some expect, so check dimensions before buying.
• USB output is fine for phones and tablets but not intended for higher-power laptop charging beyond the listed USB-C output.
