Pros and cons
Pros
- Multiple AC outlets and USB ports can serve a mixed set of mains-powered and USB-charged devices.
- Two independent switches offer separate control of outlet groups.
- The listing describes the AC outlets as widely spaced, which may help accommodate larger plugs.
Cons
- USB-C charging is not suitable for MacBook models or devices requiring 14–22V, according to the listing.
- Customer feedback includes reports of switches breaking, so long-term switch reliability is a concern.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives a 3-metre cable length, while its feature text also calls it 10ft. Customer feedback is mixed on whether the cable matches the advertised length. The claimed 3.1A total USB output is stated alongside a maximum of 2.4A for each USB-A port and 3A for USB-C, so simultaneous-port output is not clearly specified. Surge protection and safety claims are listing claims, not independently verified here.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People needing several AC sockets plus USB-A and USB-C charging in one location.
- Desk, home or gaming setups where separate control of two outlet groups is useful.
- Buyers who may benefit from the rear keyhole slots for a planned wall-mounted installation.
Less suited to
- People needing USB-C charging for a MacBook or another device requiring 14–22V.
- Buyers who need confirmed long-term switch durability or an unambiguous cable-length specification.

Customer feedback highlights the number of outlets, USB connections, separate switches, appearance and general usefulness, including for gaming setups. The reported cable-length experience is mixed, and some customers report switches failing after days or months. That durability concern matters if the switches will be used frequently. The product listing claims eight outlets and four USB ports, but those specifications do not establish long-term reliability.

- Customers appreciate the separate switches, appearance and versatility.
Negative themes
- Some customers report switches breaking within days to months of use.
Mixed feedback
