12 Outlets Surge Protector Power Strip with 3 Smart USB Charging Ports (5V/3.1A) and 6' Heavy Duty Extension Cord, for Home, Office, Computers, Appliances, Equipment (4000 Joules) - Black

I have been buying Holsem surge protectors for the past year.My first purchase was this very 12 outlet surge protector. I bought it based on overwhelmingly positive Amazon reviews.From the moment I unboxed it and plugged it in, I was hooked! This is a quality-made surge protector like no other for the price point. It's as if Apple made this product -- that's how perfect it is.The first thing you will notice is how "loaded" this device is with AC outlets and USB charging ports. As you know already, you can plug up to 12 devices into this unit. The only downside with so many outlets is that they are packed rather close together. This means if you plug in a block type plug, it will take up more than one outlet space. It looks like Holsem has tried to alleviate this problem somewhat by configuring connections on the sides and the middle. If you are lucky, you might be able to get normal and box plugs to coexist together.In addition to the 12 plug outlets, there are three USB charging connections. Two IQ ports have a charging speed of 5V/3.1A and the third has a charging speed of 5V/1.0A. IC technology automatically detects the device you are plugging into it and then provides the fastest charging.And what would a surge protector be without overload protection? In the event of such an overload, the safety switch will trip off automatically thus protecting your plugged in devices and ultimately, your home. The adapter is also flame retardant and features a 6-foot cord which gives you plenty of room to place this device exactly where you need it.As I noted previously, for me it was love at first sight. This is really a surge protector to behold. Once you use this in your home, you won't want to go with any other brand. I have bought two additional slightly smaller 8 outlet surge protectors that Holsem also supports. As of the writing of this review, the smaller strip was remarkably slightly more expensive than this one. So, if that's the case for you it's a no-brainer to go for the larger protector.On the back of this surge protector are keyholes that you can mount this to a wall or baseboard.Extremely happy with this brand. As I stated earlier, I won't buy anything else. I believe you'll be just as happy with this purchase.

There's a reason this surge protector gets high scores and can be found at the top or near the top of every professional review...it does it's job, and it does it well. Unfortunately, there seems to be some people out there who don't understand how electricity works, hence some of the one and two star reviews here on Amazon. Here's a few tips: a microwave rated at 900 watts typically pulls around 1,100 to 1,200 watts from the wall, and surge protectors with multiple outlets like this aren't meant to be used with appliances like microwaves. If you need a surge protector for your microwave, get a single outlet direct plug in that meets UL 1449 safety standards. Also, just because a surge protector is rated at 1,875 watts doesn't mean your wall outlet and/or breaker box can handle the power draw even if you're only using half of that. I guess common sense isn't so common, and it makes me wonder how some people manage to dress themselves much less function on a day to day basis.Now for the review...I have over $2,500 worth of electronics plugged into this thing, and I wouldn't be giving it 5 stars if it didn't deserve 5 stars. Here's a list: a custom-built gaming/editing PC including an overclocked Ryzen 2700X and watercooled & overclocked Gigabyte 1080 Ti, 27" 1440p 144hz monitor, 32" 1440p 144hz monitor, Steinberg UR12, uninterruptible power supply, printer, land line phone and whatever Comcast's newest modem is, and everything is working just fine. The Steinberg has the option to be powered by the motherboard or a 5v micro USB plug, so the 5v USB plugs on the Holsem are perfect. The sound of my mic is WAY cleaner now than when I had it plugged into the mobo or when it was plugged into my old surge protector (Belkin F9H710-06). I'm able to turn the gain up higher without as much noise which means less work in post. I'm very happy with the performance of this surge protector and the 20 or so minutes I spent doing research on it paid off. For $33, this thing is a steal.

This surge protector is great for a pc setup or really any electronic setup with a lot of valuable equipment that needs a lot of power. I bought this for my gaming pc and attached my consoles to it as well as my recording equipment and it has worked superbly. It has a smooth sleek design that makes it easy to organize all my cords and keep them out of the way while I’m gaming. I also got this protector with the intent of mounting it to the side of my wall so my pets could be in the gaming room with me and I would have to worry about them getting to my cords. It has done everything I needed it to and more. The USB ports are great for charging my phone or even my gaming controllers when all my other USB ports are taken. I would say for travel however I can’t give an honest review because I would never take such a heavy setup with me for traveling but being a surge protector it is larger in size so it will take up space during travel. Otherwise great product and very useful.
