Surge Protector Power Strip with USB Ports, 5ft Flat Plug - Compact

In this review of the TROND surge protector power strip, the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, travel-friendly power solution for people who need a few widely spaced outlets plus multiple USB ports without bulky plugs sticking out. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of 1440J surge protection and a slim flat plug that tucks behind furniture, which makes it especially useful for dorm rooms, bedside setups, and small home offices where space and outlet access are limited.

Key Features

• 4 widely spaced outlets: The four 3-prong outlets are spaced about 1.89 in apart so large adapters can be used without blocking neighboring sockets.
• Built-in USB charging: Four USB ports including one USB-C provide convenient side access to charge phones, tablets, and wearables without extra adapters.
• 1440 joules surge protection: The surge protection protects sensitive electronics such as routers, laptops, and video players from spikes and voltage fluctuations.
• Slim flat plug: The 0.55 in flat plug design fits behind beds and under furniture so the strip sits close to the wall and does not protrude.
• 5 ft extension cord and wall mountable: The 5 ft cord gives reach to a distant outlet and two mounting holes with included screws let you install it under cabinets or on a wall.
• Compact, lightweight design: At about 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.10 in and 0.61 lb, it is easy to pack for travel and fits on small desktops.

Who It's For

The strip is best for students in college dorms, renters, or anyone with a tight workspace who needs extra outlets and USB charging without bulky plugs getting in the way. Its slim profile and wall-mount option make it ideal for bedside use, behind entertainment consoles, or tucked inside shallow drawers where a normal plug would not fit.

People who need a heavy-duty garage or industrial power strip, or who require a large number of AC outlets beyond four, should look for a different model. Also, if you require advanced features like network protection or very high amperage, this consumer-focused surge strip may be too basic.
