Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Mini Surge 3 Outlet Wall Mount with USB Charger
Customer Review: A typically well-made product from Belkin
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a lot of Belkin products, and with a few exceptions they're all well-made and well-designed. This one serves a common need-- power for a USB device, such as a cell phone or iPod-- and combines it with a surge supressor and outlet strip.
Mine powers an iPod Touch 3rd generation, and I have an electric blanket plugged in to the outlets. Nothing major. There are two USB power ports, one of which I'll likely never use. The plug cleverly swivels around 360° to orient the device the way you want it. The plastic plug cover pops off and onto the bottom of the unit to form a brace when you have it plugged into a wall socket-- whew, someone must have graduated summa cum laude in Industrial Design!
With so many positives, it's rather petty to mention this minor negative, but I will anyway. In the most common orientation-- in a vertical wall socket, with the unit plugged into the bottom outlet and swung so that it hangs straight down-- the USB power ports are pointing up. This may interfere with whatever's plugged into the top socket of the wall outlet. (I hope I'm making myself clear.) While you could as easily plug it into the top outlet and have one more socket than you started with, this is a puzzling glitch. There are, after all, several other ways that the USB sockets could have been arranged-- one on each end, for example.
Do I think this is a major design flaw? Nope. It doesn't affect my particular useage, and I doubt if more than one person in a thousand will even be mildly annoyed. If you're in the market for a USB power supply for home or office, I can't think of a reason not to buy the Belkin Mini Surge.
