What to know before buying
- The product description claims up to 2.1A per USB port, but does not specify whether that rate is available simultaneously across ports.
Listing details to confirm
Listing details conflict: the title and technical field state four USB ports, while the feature text specifies three USB-A plus one USB-C, which totals four. The listed 10 Amps maximum current also differs from the feature claim of a 13A fuse. Confirm the port configuration and electrical ratings for the selected listing before purchase. The 2500 Watts surge-protection rating is listed separately from the 250 Volts and 10 Amps electrical details, so do not treat it as a confirmed continuous-load rating.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People who need three individually switched AC sockets and USB charging in one adapter.
- Home or office users connecting smaller appliances and charging phones or tablets, subject to the stated electrical limits.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a slim or low-profile unit in a crowded socket area, given reports that it feels bulky.
- Buyers who require confirmed simultaneous USB charging performance or fully consistent electrical specifications.
