I had a bunch of devices with power converters located at the plug site. When using a standard power strip you can lose use of some outlets because of the shape of the converters. This one let me use every outlet no matter the shape of the converter
I bought two power strips. I am using them both in my home office. I am happy that I can now leave my printer pencil sharpener and shredder plugged in on one wall. I am using the other one to keep my computer cords from dangling off my desk.
