I’ve never met anyone who feels like their home has enough outlets to plug in all their tech. Power strips were made for this exact purpose, but I’ve honestly grown to resent mine. They create clutter on my dresser and floor, collect dust and never seem to have enough space between the sockets for the inconveniently bulky plugs of my chargers, hair dryer, portable steamer and other devices. If you’re in the same boat, you might be as thrilled as I am to learn about this surge protector that sits flush against the wall, giving you more well-spaced outlets (and a built-in nightlight!) without the clutter.
Powrui’s multi-plug surge protector takes up little more space than your standard duplex outlet itself, sticking out just over 2 inches from the wall. That’s a far cry from a power strip that requires its own cord, leaving you with a strip or block you have to find space for on your desk or the floor. You can secure it to the wall plug by using the included screw in the middle (just check to make sure your wall outlet is a duplex and not GFCI; you may also want to remove the face plate first for a better fit).
Even with that space-saving design, this surge protector gives you nine places to plug in, with a few different combinations of AC outlets, USB-A ports and USB-C ports that you can choose from depending on your needs. And, like a standard outlet extender, it offers surge protection, in this case with a rating of 1,680 Joules. It comes in white, black or gray.
