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

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).

This review is specifically for the BSV602 model of Belkin SurgePlus surge protectors. Amazon seems to have lumped all SurgePlus reviews (at least 4 different models in the product series) into one listing which can create confusion. In any case, that has no bearing on how much I like the actual product itself.I needed a couple of these to expand the number of outlets on both sides of the bed due to the ever increasing number of tech gadgets in the household (not including old standards like bedside lamps and baby monitor). These two units were installed directly to the original faceplate of the outlets with the included screw and the install time took less than a minute each. The unit plugs into the top outlet and is further supported by a plastic prong that fits into the ground of the bottom outlet. The front of the unit features a green indicating lamp that lights when you are protected from surges and an amber light when you have plugged the unit into an outlet that is not properly grounded.As far as performance itself, it is important to note that the unit charges at 2.1A at the 5.0V standard for USB (10Watts COMBINED). This is critical when using both ports to charge USB compatible devices; especially, larger devices like tablets or iPads. Some of the other reviews lumped in with this model indicate terrible USB charging capability. You just have to understand that if you utilize both ports for charging then you are cutting the available 10W across both ports and, at a minimum, doubling your charge time for the devices. For example, the standard USB charger for the latest generation of iPad is capable of 10W. You will only get 5W from a single USB port on this surge protector when both ports are in use. So you've already doubled your charge time (quadruple the time if another device is being charged simultaneously that requires 10W) and this is a minimum if the devices are on while charging. Long story, short - for my needs I charge a work and personal cell phone at the same time and don't notice a difference from charging with the standard phone chargers.The outlets themselves are nicely spaced. If you look carefully into each individual outlet, you can notice how close the contacts are for each prong. This makes for a very snug fit for plugs. Be sure to brace the surge protector against the wall with one hand and to pull from the plug body (never the cord!) due to the snugness. Otherwise, you may damage the plug, surge protector, or worse - the wall.The Belkin BSV602 6-outlet surge protector has provided me with expanded outlets, USB charging capability, and surge protection of my devices up to $25,000. Careful with the warranty though. As a couple of other reviewers have stated, it is only valid if the device is solely connected to this surge protector. A PC connected via ethernet will not be covered under warranty because the surge could have passed through that particular port instead of just the wall outlet.My only thoughts on improving this design would be that the body of this unit be a direct replacement for the outlet faceplate rather than just residing over it. It would be more aesthetically pleasing to see this unit flush mounted to the wall.

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 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.
