In this day and age, to protect your hardware (especially during brown/black outs), having a power strip or an outlet extender is a very good idea.
Especially when numerous things to be plugged in and numerous things need to be charged.
In our home, I use an outlet extender and what I like about the Mifaso Plug Outlet Extender is that one outlet can give you three additional outlets, plus two USB 3.1A and a USB-C ports.
Great for those who need to charge their smartphone, their Nintendo Switch, etc. It’s important to note that the USB-C does not support Macbook Macbook Air or Macbook Pros as the laptop needs 14-22v of charging. The two USB and USB-C ports are 5v on 3.0A shared rating.
And it’s also surge protected!
I’ve seen to many hardware destroyed because of power surges and if you need something inexpensive for protection without a wire hanging out from the wall, then definitely check out the mifaso Multi Plut Outlet Extender. Recommended!
