TROND 2 Prong Power Strip USB 5-Outlet Splitter - Converts Old Outlets

In this review of the TROND 2 Prong Power Strip USB, the bottom line is practical and simple: it is best for anyone in an older home, apartment, or hotel room with non-grounded polarized 2 prong outlets who needs to power several devices without rewiring. The adapter converts a single 2 prong socket into five three-prong outlets plus three USB ports, and its built-in ON/OFF switch and 1440J surge protection make it a convenient, compact solution for everyday charging and small-appliance use.

Key Features

• 2 prong to 3 prong conversion: Lets users convert a polarized 2 prong outlet into a usable 3 prong outlet without electrical modification, restoring grounded-style connections for more devices.
• Multiple power and USB ports: Provides five AC outlets plus two USB-A ports and one USB-C port so multiple phones, wearables and small appliances can charge at once.
• USB power outputs: Each USB-A supplies up to 5V/2.4A and the USB-C provides 5V/3A, offering adequate charging for phones and small devices with a combined USB output of 5V/3.4A.
• 3-sided wide space design: Outlets are arranged on three faces with nearly 1in spacing between sockets so bulky adapters are less likely to block neighboring plugs.
• Mountable and switched: Includes a screw for wall mounting and an ON/OFF switch with a circuit breaker to save power and add a layer of overload protection.
• Surge protection and safety materials: Built with 1440J surge protection and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant PC+ABS to help protect connected devices and improve reliability.

Who It's For

This unit is ideal for renters, homeowners with older electrical systems, or anyone who commonly uses rooms that only have polarized 2 prong sockets; it makes adding modern charging and grounded outlets easy without rewiring. It also fits well in bedrooms, kitchens, hotel rooms or small offices where multiple USB and AC outlets are needed in a compact footprint.

Those who need heavy-duty grounded protection for major appliances or a permanent grounded installation should look elsewhere; this adapter is intended as a convenient, interim solution for low- to moderate-power devices rather than high-load circuits or professional electrical upgrades.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Expands one 2 prong socket into five AC outlets plus three USB ports for broad device compatibility.
• Good USB charging capability with a USB-C port and two USB-A ports for phones, watches and accessories.
• Thoughtful outlet spacing lets bulky plugs sit without blocking adjacent outlets.
• Includes 1440J surge protection and flame-retardant housing for added safety.

Cons

• Fit and stability can be hit-or-miss on some outlets; some users report it does not sit flush or align properly with the mounting screw.
• Being a conversion adapter, it does not create a true earth ground for heavy loads or meet the needs of permanent grounded installations.
