POWRUI Multi Wall Outlet Adapter Surge Protector
The One Stop Charging Shop
Don't let its size fool you, this Multi Wall Outlet will protect your electronics from the strongest surges. We like this unit's four USB charger ports which are perfect for phones and other devices.
Though it has less plugs than the Belkin wall-mount, this surge protector from POWRUI is a convenient and modern design. Small, simple, and compact, we won't recommend this mount for your entertainment system but its a perfect fit for kitchens or bedrooms thanks to its three AC plugins and four USB charger ports.
No more carrying around your AC adaptor around the house or having to choose between what device to charge. Just plug your phone charger directly into this mount and you're good to go! And with three extra charger ports there is plenty of room for guests and other devices to charge or power up.
Nice and compact, POWRUI mount won't crowd your outlets and can still handle a substantial 1,680 joule power surge. Great protection from a small package.
Key Features
- Three plugins and four USB ports
- 1,680 joule protection
- Fire resistant poly carbon construction
APC Wall Outlet Plug Extender, Surge Protector
Great For Big And Small Devices
This wall outlet protector may have less USB ports than some, it can handle 6 wall outlets at one time which is advantageous for those with entertainment systems and appliances.
If you liked the USB ports on POWRUI Multi Wall Outlet, but want something with a few more outlets, then the APC Wall Surge Protector might be for you.
In exchange for two less USB ports than the POWRUI, the APC Outlet has double (six) the wall outlets for those who need a unit catered more towards bigger appliances and electronics. In a way, it's the best of both worlds; enough USB ports to charge your phone and an ample amount of outlets for everything else.
Topping this unit is a 1,080 joule protection rating and enough output to handle whatever your home entertainment system throws at it.
Key Features
- Six plugins and two USB ports
- 1,080 joule protection
- Compact design with side plugins for all access
ECHOGEAR On-Wall Surge Protector
Protection With An Innovative Design
This surge protector has swiveling plugins that allow access from every angle. Coupled with this unit's low profile 1.5" shape and you have an outlet fit for any spot in the house.
Rounding off the list is probably the least traditional design on here. At first glance, the ECHOGEAR On-Wall Surge Protector might resemble a Rubik's Cube but don't worry, this plugin isn't nearly as complicated. With its six pivoting AC heads, the ECHOGEAR unit triples the capacity of your typical outlet and allows you to plugin your devices from every angle.
We find the pivoting outlets to be especially helpful in organizing the mess of wires that occurs behind TV sets. Especially nice about this design is its super thin 1.5" profile, which means this unit can fit right behind couches, TV cabinets, and other furniture with ease.
Like the other units on the list, the ECHOGEAR boasts a standard 1,080 joule protection rating that is sure to keep your electronics safe while allowing you convenient access.
Key Features
- Unique swiveling AC head design
- Low profile 1.5" design
- 1,080 joule protection
Though picking out a surge protector sounds pretty simple and self-explanatory, it does help to know some of the terms to make the best choice. For those who aren't up to par on their knowledge of electricity, here's a simple list of terms to know.
Amperage
Amperage is the general strength of an electric current, but more specifically the rate at which electric energy flows through a circuit. If a surge protector has a greater amperage setting that means it can withstand higher outages.
Joule
A joule is the standard unit of physical work performed on an object and is a similar measurement to amps. One joule equals 3.6 amps.
