Cons: A little bulkier than dedicated USB power supply
Pros: Multiple Function Comment:
This is a great idea for travellers who are concerned about voltage stability ie. grid supply voltage spikes or other induced voltage spikes and the risk to equipment plugged into the outlet. It would appear that a major voltage spike, ie lightning would likely not be arrested, but the locally induced spikes should be suppressed. Overall a good idea especially at the sale price |

Cons: The term "mini" is subjective. It isn't really that compact as I would assume from seeing the photo. It is small, yes. However, as a surge protector that can take 3 AC and 2 USB outlets, I will give Belkin the benefit of naming it a mini device.
Pros: come with the USB port to changing your iPhone or other Android device Comment:
I would not hesitate to recommend the purchase of this surge protection for compact spaces as well as travel purposes especially with the lifetime warranty and amount of protection is offers. |

Cons: Flimsy if you want to use in one outlet permanentlyPricey when not on sale
Pros: Great for travelUSB charge ports Comment:
I bought this for traveling which is great, but when home I use it by the bedside to charge my phone, etc. Plugging anything into the lower outlets kind of pull the prongs out of the wall, similar to a see-saw. |

Cons: Too many devices connected may stress/damage the rotating wall plug.
Pros: Lightweight, portable, useful. Comment:
This is a really handy travel or just portable wall surge. The additional USB ports are great with other devices like smartphones. Works as it says it does, however, putting a lot of chargers/weight on the device and having it rotated may prevent it from resting at a different orientation other than 6 o'clock. Otherwise, very handy. Just bought my second. |

Cons: Nothing
Pros: Works. More than usb port. Surge protection included. Comment:
Bought this to power my usb dac amp for my home audio setup. Works well enough. Surge protection is a bonus. 2x usb ports is better than one. Great deal on special. When I bought my dac amp, they had a similar item for $30. I bought it much cheaper at NCIX when it was on sale. |

Cons: doesn't charge PS3 controller
Pros: Great surge protector with USB charging function Comment:
I have 3 of these at home for all the USB devices and laptops. Every household should have at least one of this. Very handy, provide surge protection and two USB charging port. Get some retractable USB cable, iphone, micro-USB adapter and you have a great USB charging station. |

Pros: - All-in-one- Has regular plugs for regular appliances- Has USB plugs for those that do not come with chargers (aka the ever so popular iPods!!!) Comment:
If you don't care about branding, then this is the all-in-one product you're looking for. I need a charger for my iPod because they expect us to charge it through the computer everytime.. never again. |

Cons: would have wished it had built in universal adapter
Pros: Compact for travelUSB is handy so you don't take up the power outlets Comment:
Got this during a sale, I wouldn't have bought it unless it was on sale as I think its a bit overpriced at MRSP. It is very compact for travel and works very well. Couple this with an adapter for travel and you have all the plugs you'll need |

Cons: Can't think of any, the wall connector could have been foldable for portability, but then you would lose the ability to rotate it. I'd rather be able to rotate it.
Pros: Comes with connector capSurge ProtectionCharging USB cable included (white color)Angle-adjustable wall plug Comment:
The connector cap is really handy for transport and angle adjustment of the wall plug. The adjustment itself is locked and the user must press a button on the back to unlock and the twist the connector around to the desired angle. There is a feedback click whenever you reach a 90 degree angle to enable accurate adjustment.I read reviews about this device making a buzzing noise (I have an eneloop charger that does make a buzzing noise while charging eneleep cells) so I was worried at first. I'm currently charging an mp3 player and so far, no distinctive buzzing noise. |

Cons: No on-off switchNon-retractable plug
Pros: Mini sizeRotating plugBuilt-in USB charger Comment:
Its mini size allows you to carry it in bag along with your laptop. The rotating plug is useful when space is tight. I also use it at home and I could put away the chargers of some electronic devices like my Samsung mobile.However, it would be better if the plug is retractable so that it's more convenient to carry it around. Another big drawback for me is that there's no on-off switch like a power bar does. If I plug it in constantly, the adapter/circuitry inside would consume power even when there's nothing plugged into it. |

Cons: Button release rotational lock lasted about two turns and now it just clicks and turns even without button, still keeps position though
Pros: Compact size and 360 degree rotation makes it ideal for expanding from a multiplug while allowing access to remaining outlets, Comment:
Was well worth it for the sale price as I needed something for my two bulky AC adapter plugs so that they don't block the other outlets, the stabilizer/plug cover slot is a nice idea though not all that useful |

Cons: kinda floppy when you plug something in
Pros: light, works as intended, charges ipod well Comment:
i like the weight and the look of this thing and usb ipod charging is neat. the usb plugs kinda get in the way of the other wall plug though, and if you plug a normal plug into the far end of this thing, it kinda pulls it out from the wall plug. not a big deal though |

Pros: DurableConvenientCompact Comment:
I got it when it was on sale. It's very nice when you are at home or travelling. Extra sockets for charging iPhones. It's really small, great for carrying it around so you can plug in multiple laptops. Great in the library too when there's limited power outlets. |

Cons:
where's the modem surge protectionbigger than you think
Pros: portable usb+surgenice touch to have the rotatable plugs Comment:
Haven't had the chance to use it yet. Bought it for a laptop that I plan on purchasing.It's much smaller to bring along on short trips if you need to charge usb devices, but don't want to bring your laptop along. When you do want to bring a laptop along, you have the peace of mind of surge protection and no need to have charging devices using up the few usb slots on your laptop |

None
Pros: Small and portable.USB ports Comment:
I have two of these. The first I bough a couple years back that I took with me on a backpacking trip though Japan. Being small it was ideal for the trip. I used it to charge my iTouch and GPS via the USB ports. Then it's also a surge protector. So very handy to have and a must buy on sale, in my opinion. |

has a very faint whine or buzz when its plugged in
Pros: charges my iphone pretty fastthe pivot plug is pretty handy for tight areas Comment:
+ charges my iphone pretty fast+ the pivot plug is pretty handy for tight areas- has a very faint whine or buzz when its plugged in |
Picked this up on sale before the Christmas holidays and it works great. This is very useful for traveling because you can plug in 3 items and 2 other devices that can charge via the USB cable reducing the # of adapters you need to bring along. I've tried charging a MP3 player and blackberry through the USB ports and they worked just fine. The plug also rotates in case you need to change the angle. It is a bit expensive at the regular price but a great deal when on sale.
