Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables to Go 1.5 ft 1 to 4 Power Cord SplitterCustomer Review: A must if you have alot of wall wart transformers Summary: 4 Stars
The typical american household has wall outlets spaced 6 feet apart with 2 outlets each. When you had the light bulb, the vacuum, and the mixer, that was plenty, but in todays world where you have the blu ray player, the flat screen tv, the coffee maker, it just doesn't work! What is worse is that those transformers, expecially the heavy ones tend to fall out of the worn out wall outlet.
That's where this product fills the bill - it takes up one plug opening and gives you 4 so you net 3 extra, but they are 14" out on 4 dedicated tails. Now there have been powerstrips designed this way with 5 tails, and I own a few of them, but what I do not like is the big button for on/off - lean on it accidentally and suddenly 5 things downstream get shutoff. Here there are no circuit breakers nor switches to interrupt the flow, and if you are using it for low power chargers and such you really dont need them.
I had no problems finding 4 transformers to plug into the outlets and then plugged the plug end into the wall. So much cleaner than using the 6-way adapter plug that I had previously put on the outlet. Another advantage is that the old style plugs had one screw in the center, while the new style [decora] have 2 screws top and bottom, and the even newer style (color coordinated leviton designer outlets) have clips with no screws at all to hold on your adapters to the wall outlets.
The other advantage of this is its portable - i can toss it in my overnight bag or laptop case and run all my chargers off just one outlet at the admirals club in the airport. I've even had people ask to use one of my empty outlets because everyone is charging their laptops before the flight.
For the price, it's a bargain at cleaning up messy cords. With the keep it simple policy I can honestly say it will get alot of use, plus the cables are rated for high power items, which is a plus when running power tools at the end of an extension cord that has one outlet - just plug this in and have 4 outlets.
