Belkin Wall Mount Surge Protector - 3 AC Multi Outlets & 2 USB Ports - Flat Rotating Plug Splitter - Wall Outlet Extender for Home, Office, Travel, Computer Desktop & Phone Charger - 918 Joules

I have always been concerned about surge protection for my electronics when traveling. Sometimes I take corded surge protectors with me, but they are bulky and heavy. So, I recently started looking for an alternative and found several on Amazon.I preferred a known brand, protection of 800 Joules or greater, and, ideally, an Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) seal. I found two Belkin devices that fit my needs, this Belkin protector (with 3 AC and 2 USB ports) and the smaller Belkin 1-outlet SurgeCube (not sure if the SurgeCube is UL listed).When traveling, my charging needs are: laptop (AC), camera battery charger (AC), Kindle (AC or USB), and cell phone (AC or USB). I decided this Belkin Surge Protector (with 3 AC and 2 USB) was the best fit for my needs. But I was uncertain about the size after reading conflicting information. I decided to order it and see for myself.Dimensions. The product dimensions listed on Amazon are: 2.2 x 5.16 x 7.2 inches. These dimensions seem to be for the box the product comes in, which I measured as 1.9 x 4.4 x 7.9 inches. The dimensions of the product itself are: 1.5 x 2 (3.25 counting the plug) x 4.0 inches. It is basically the size of my eyeglasses case. The weight is comparable to my morning coffee mug. So compact, but not tiny. Certainly more travel-friendly than my corded surge protecting power strips. See my photos.What I like. Rotating plug should allow flexibility in using outlets. Indicator light shows the unit is functioning. Ample plug-ins, both AC and USB, to accommodate my needs. UL listed seal. Manufacturer states 918 Joule rating.What I don't like: It would be nice if the plug prongs folded down, out of the way. Rotating the plug is a bit harder than I expected (you do have to depress a button under the plug while rotating), hoping it might get easier with practice.I tried it at home and it seems to work well, will add it to my kit for my next trip.

Purchased this surge protector yesterday, after seeing it in a video review for the Echo Flex on YouTube. Here is my back story: I live in a one bedroom apartment, and these apartments are old, were built in the 60's. Anyway, the Bathroom GFC plus is in a strange place, it's between the toilet and the sink on the wall. Because the sink is a cabinet sink, Echo Flex will not go directly into the outlet because of space. The Flex is a little too wide for the space.I had tried the three sided Wall taps that turn the front outlet horizontal instead of vertical, and while this worked. I wasn't satisfied fully because the Flex is supposed to be vertical, even though Amazon doesn't demand this, I wanted to try to get it vertical in my spot.The Belkin surge protector is a perfect solution, and while for me, I don't need the USB ports, the Flex has one, if I do. The main purpose was to have a flexible outlet to give the Flex more room to plug in vertically. The added bonus here , at least for me is, the outlet is GFC and the Belkin is a surge protector, so not a high possibility, the extra protection is there.The Belkin has a little button you hold down on the back to rotate the plug, and it seems like it can rotate in a full 360 degrees, at least half a circle, if not full.I usually wait some time to write reviews, to give time to pass, however I feel like in this case It was for a specific purpose, and it worked out of the box perfectly, So I posted this review.One tip I would give Amazon, if they read these reviews, maybe provide an adapter with the Echo Flex for these types of situations. Not everyone is going to take the time to problem solve and just give the product a bad rating, even if there is a simple fix like this. It's just a thought to help prevent bad reviews that could stop the sale of products over an issue a particular person wasn't willing to take the time to solve.Bottom Line, I love the echo Flex, and this adjustable surge protector has made it much easier to use in my desired location.

I've purchased a few of these now and love them. Easy to install and easy to use. Very functional without having to deal with a long cord. It's good quality and and we use them for a variety of electronics (TV, cellphone, consoles, pc, etc).

I originally bought this to get rid of a wall mounted extension cord behind my wall mounted TV. I had to use it elsewhere, because it turns out that it was too wide to allow me to plug in an Ethernet cable to the port adjacent to the power outlet, and it wouldn't have fit at all if there was a cable port that juts out of the wall. I ended up buying a different one with 6 outlets that fit without a problem, so while this works well and has the USB outlets as a bonus, it's not suitable for outlets that have cable or Ethernet ports on the same wall plate.

I have several of these, and they work great. I also love the fact that it has a center screw to secure it to the outlet.
