Lots of Room to Plug Items In

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Tech 8-Outlet Surge Strip provides lots of room to plug devices in. I was able to plug in my phone charger breast pump tablet charger baby monitor charger and a table lamp at the same time without any issues. I love that the outlets are facing outwards rather than back to back like with a traditional power strip. This allows the ability to plug in oversized plugs without covering additional outlets leaving them open for other plugs. I also really liked that the plug is flat against the wall allowing the surge strip to be plugged in behind furniture without causing a gap. I was able to plug it in behind my couch with no problem. The two things I do not like about this surge strip are (1) the on/off switch is located on the side making it easy to hit by accident and (2) the power strip is much more bulky than a traditional power strip due to the outlets facing outwards rather than back to back. However the power strip has the ability to be mounted on the wall to take up less space if needed which is beneficial.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the design of the plug it is designed so that you can use the other wall outlet on the bottom of where its plugged in where most other power strips tend to have bulky plugs that make it impossible to use the bottom wall outlet at the same time. The outlets on the power strip are spaced out very conveniently so you can easily utilize all of them at once. I also love the peace of mind that my gaming computers are safe while using this power strip thanks to the surge protection it offers it even has a little light to confirm the surge protection is active. Another selling point is that all 8 outlets on the power strip are grounded it's super nice to have that extra security and the fact that I'm able to plug in things that have three prongs.
