Customer Review: Best Multiple Outlet for Travel, Even Abroad
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this thing. Portable, fits wide power 'bricks,' (2 outlets on each side) and the 12" cord rolls over and plugs into itself, so it's really compact in your bag. We bring one grounded and one non-grounded adapter plug as needed for whichever countries we're visiting - e.g. UK uses different plugs than most of Europe, and then we can plug in anything we have from one outlet, which is all you can often find or reach in many hotels, hostels, cafes, trains or other spots you may wish to plug in.
Other multiple outlets we've used have burned out and risked frying our stuff, but this one's traveled with us in Africa, Europe, Asia and N. America, with no problems at all. Well made, compact, lightweight. Goes on every trip for work or play.
Note: It will NOT convert 110 V to 220 V or vice versa - you need to make sure your gadgets work with 220 V before you use this without a converter.
Customer Review: Compact and Effective Power Strip
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one compact and useful power strip. I bought this power strip based on all the positive reviews I read on this site. I bought it for carrying it on my India trip. I am currently using the power strip for charging my laptop (100-240 V adapter). I'm using it with the Belkin F8E449 Universal AC Travel Adapter in India (with 220 Volt outlets). The blue light faded after a few days, but I wouldn't care less, because otherwise it seems to work very well. It has 4 outlets that are spaced wide apart even to accommodate bulky adapters. It also has a built-in circuit-breaker with a reset button. It does not have an ON/OFF switch but I didn't need one for my kind of use. The build quality is excellent, and the cord is heavy duty. It is light and the foot long cord wraps around and fits nicely into any laptop bag. I would strongly recommend this for all travelers (domestic or international).Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got back from a 1 year round the world trip and this power cord was invaluable. It allowed me to charge my iPod, camera, mobile phone and use my laptop all from a single outlet and with a single converter.
I traveled in nine countries in Asia, requiring several different adapters (I fried a couple along the way so bring a spare), and this power strip saved me on more than one occasion when my guesthouse/hostel/hotel only provided one outlet!
Also, adapters are bulky, especially when backpacking you don't want to carry three of them! No need with this strip you only need one, and all your US appliances can plug into here. It's also really small and light, and after a year carrying my pack I got really picky choosing what was worth carrying - this power strip was a no brainer to bring along. I just completely love it.
Customer Review: Handy for your take-along electronics bag
Summary: 3 Stars
The Monster MP OTG400 BK Outlets To Go Power Strip is a great addition to your electronics bag. We have a bag that we keep all the extra cables and do-dads that we need when going out to cover a convention or on vacation. As you know, it's getting difficult to travel without bringing your connectivity with you. So, we're always on the look out for items that fold up or can be stored at a smaller size and that is easy to slip into a case -- just in case. Many hotel rooms don't have power strips and have few outlets. This item fits the bill. It's small when not in use -- about the length of my hand from fingertip to wrist and not as wide. It fits in the bag and if I don't need it that's fine but when I do need it it hasn't added much to the weight and so far has been in my mind a good purchase.Customer Review: The best product Monster has ever made. Don't travel without one.
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally associate Monster Cable with audio and video cables sold at ludicrous markup, so I was very surprised to see this travel power strip priced fairly and marketed without too much puffery. It's a compact four-outlet power strip that lets you plug in four chargers to a single AC outlet. If you can never find an outlet in an airport, just offer to plug in this power strip and you can turn a single outlet into one that can serve four travelers. I'm using mine to charge my laptop, my cell phone, my iPod, and my Kindle simultaneously using the only unswitched outlet next to my hotel's little table.
About the only thing Monster could add is a USB socket or two. My phone and iPod can charge off a USB port, though my laptop doesn't give enough power for the former.
