Reliable and Simple Surge Protector
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: Danny

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with this surge protector power strip! It offers 8 outlets which is plenty for my needs and there's enough space between the outlets to comfortably plug in larger devices without them overlapping. The 6-ft cable gives me flexibility to place it where I need and the LED indicators showing that the outlet is grounded and in surge mode are a great touch for peace of mind. I’ve used it for devices like my phone laptop and air filter and it handles everything well. The simplicity of the design is something I really appreciate. I also like the screw mounts on the back which make it easy to secure it to a surface and the on/off switch on the front adds a nice layer of convenience. The only thing I wish it had is a few USB A or USB C slots for added convenience but overall it’s a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Tech 8-Outlet Surge Strip is great for accommodating multiple devices such as laptops phone chargers entertainment systems and more all in one convenient spot. A highlight of this strip is that the spacing between the outlets allows for bulkier plugs and you can easily plug in all your devices without anything getting blocked. The strip also feels sturdy and the 6-foot cord provides plenty of length from a wall outlet to another space. My one complaint though is due to the nature of this strip having outlets facing multiple ways it does come off as bulkier and not as sleek as other power strips on the market. A nice option to have would be having this strip offered in black as well because despite the white color being clean and bright it can stand out too much depending on aesthetics of the room and the personal taste of the buyer.

8 Outlets of Organized Power
on May 11, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar for providing me with this product to test and review. This 8-outlet surge protector has been a game-changer for my husband's work from home setup! He is absolutely thrilled with how much easier it's made organizing his electronics. What truly sets this apart is the thoughtful parallel outlet design. Finally a surge protector where you can actually use all eight outlets without those bulky power adapters blocking each other. It's such a simple yet brilliant feature that has eliminated so much frustration. The build quality feels solid and dependable giving me confidence that my devices are well-protected. Setting it up was a breeze – just plug and play. If you're tired of wrestling with crowded power strips and losing outlet space to oversized plugs look no further. This surge protector is a fantastic investment in a cleaner more functional space.

Simple and effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty simple and straightforward device. I really like the way the plug lays flat against the wall and there is plenty of space for larger plugs. I've used it for a lamp and phone charger so far and it works. My only concern is that the outlets are very stiff feeling and I thought I was going to break my plugs or I was putting them in the wrong way when I first inserted them into the power strip. I can understand they need to be secure in case it is mounted on a wall or upsidedown but a warning on the box would be helpful so the user knows to expect that. Overall I am satisfied with the amount of outlets and length of the cord. It has a clean understated look and I think it will serve its purpose well.

Nice for decluttering outlets
on May 10, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to trying the Staples Tech 8-Outlet Surge Strip I was using a 6 outlet surge protector with all of the outlets crammed together. The Staples surge strip is nice because the outlets are spaced out and the 4 outlets on the end have enough room for large adapters. Another nice feature is the plug for the surge strip is flat and turned slightly which made it easier to plug in behind my TV stand. Currently I use this power strip in my living room for my TV laptop baby swing fan and lamp. The extra space allows for easy access to the plugs. However when I tried to plug in my TV I had to use a lot of force. I noticed that 2 of the outlets seemed to be partially blocked. Overall I would recommend the Staples Tech 8-Outlet surge strip for rooms that have a lot of devices. I deducted 1 star because it was hard to push my TV plug into the outlet and the wide body of the surge strip made it hard to tuck away out of sight.

THE HOLES DON'T LINE UP!

At first I thought it was a safety feature like a GE surge protector I have, where you can slide the outlet holes open or closed. But it isn't! No matter what cord you try to stick in to ANY of the 8 outlets, all of them are misaligned so nothing will plug in. Please, Staples, if I have this wrong, please let me know because I would have loved for this to have worked.
