Belkin Wall Surge Protector - 3 Outlet w/ 2 USB Ports Mount with Premium Protection Against Surges Safe Charge for Mobile Devices, Tablets & More (540 Joules)

This outlet cradle is great. The traditional outlets offer 540 joules of surge protection for powering non-USB items. Also, this item increases the number of outlets from 2 to 3. It also has 2 USB ports that offer 12 Watts / 2.4 Amps of power for each port. I've used it to charge my phone, tablet, smart watch, mouse, and GoPro. There is a green light on the item that indicates that it is working and that your devices are protected. It works great and it works quickly. The cradle area on the top is very nice for resting the device that you are charging, with the phone seemingly having the best fit. This item will take up both outlets when used - the bottom will be where this plugs into and the top will be occupied by a plastic prong that stabilizes the item and also likely designed to prevent overloading the outlet. The item also has a screw that you can use to affix the item to the outlet for more stability and sturdiness. I use the screw when I'm at home but if I travel with it, I regularly do not use the screw and the item stays in place. So it's a nice luxury to have but it's not a necessity. Unlike the other options, there is only one way to install this product and it does not swivel. It sticks out from the existing outlet and all the outlets are on the front of the item. However, unless you have limited space in front of the outlet, this shouldn't be a huge problem. I've never had to use it for any Belkin products but Belkin has a pretty nice warranty program for their products. They stand behind what they produce and will rectify any situation that may arise. In summary, a nice wall mount outlet surge protector that allows you to power or charge 5 different items at the same time. Between the quality and the price, this is a great value.

On a recent trip to New Zealand I had bought this as I only had a few plug converters and figured I would get a plug like this to help expand the number of devices I could charge at once. When purchasing I obviously totally forgot that with the USB plugs this probably had some electronics in it that expected a certain voltage....not the voltage I supplied! I quickly blew the breaker and instantly realized my mistake, checked the back and sure enough. I left it in my luggage the rest of the trip and assumed it was fried but I tried it out when I got home and it seems to work fine! Great product and very useful! Pros: - Handled being plugged into a 240V socket despite not being designed for that! - Very nice having the USB plugs along with the additional outlets - Has a cradle at the top to rest a phone off the ground while charging Cons: - The back has a piece of plastic that sticks out that plugs into the ground socket in the outlet above the one you plug it in. It basically prevents you from plugging this in an outlet along with something else in the same outlet. I'm not sure if that is a safety thing or not but I wasn't quite expecting it. Just be aware that this will only plug into the bottom socket and cover the top unless you cut off the plastic plug which I probably wouldn't recommend you do, I'm sure it is there for a reason.

Belkin has always had good reliable products. I purchased 3 of these. Yesterday seems our house suffered a strange power surge. The mini refrigerator plugged into on of the surge protectors popped and then produced smoke. The other device plugged into same didnt have issue.

Before you buy, make sure you are aware that this a 3-prong wall mount, that you can only plug this in on the bottom, the top plug on your outlet will get covered up. There’s a screw and a pointy plastic on the back of this wall mount. You’d have to loosen the screw so it would not stick out anymore. This way, it would not interfere with plugging this in on the wall. I bought one of these 10 years ago and it still works. I bought a second one last week to put in another room in the house. I use them to plug in my 17” Acer Predator laptop, iPhone 11, 5th generation iPad, and INUI portable battery chargers. 540 joules surge protection, 3 outlets, and 2 USB A at 12-watt each, - enough for what I need. I love the cradle/ledge - it holds my cell phone or battery chargers, and even my tablet! Light comes on once you plug in this wall mount so you know there is power and surge protection is working. The USB A ports charges quick enough for me. If I need to charge faster, I plug in my USB C power block to use for charging. I have 2 power blocks plugged in and my laptop cable fits on the 3rd outlet. For what I have and what I use this for, I can use all 3 outlets and 2 USB As with no issues.

Good

Perfect for your charging needs.

Bought the 4-pack & liked them enough to buy 2 more for the house. Securely fastens with a center screw into the electric outlet. Just note that the unit will shimmy a little when plugging/unplugging in the side outlets, if you plan to do that often, because of the length over the sides, but it stays put. I prefer to leave the center open for portable appliances, like the vacuum cleaner, where needed and use the side outlets for stuff that sits for a long time, like printers & air filters. I like having the option to charge phones/tablets all around the house now, with a little shelf provided by the surge protector. Plus it's Belkin, a brand I trust. Actually had a Belkin unit save an expensive appliance from a power surge we think was caused by a lightning strike several years ago.

Top of the line in these products.

Good product only thing that sucks is always pulls out of the wall when unplugging cables from it. Not.products fault works great for charging both Samsung and iphones

I'm using this for my modem, and router as we have a lot of power outages here. Works perfectly. You can't lose when you purchase a Belkin product!

Well made device. I feel confident when using it. USB ability is a nice touch. People complain that it blocks the empty wall socket when this is plugged in but hey, there is 3 outlets in this thing so who cares about not having access to the other wall slot. Without this you have 2 unprotected outlets. With it you have 3 protected plugs plus 2 USBs. Some people just can't be pleased.

Works great. It’s a little loose when plugged into the outlets. We would have to replace the outlet for it to be installed correctly.

Love the fact that these have USB ports for charging.
