Customer Review: Sturdy and Versatile Surge Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the PowerSquid looks like a prop from "War of the World" it is a great design for a PowerStrip/SurgeProtector. The construction is extremely sturdy since it is made of a very heavy rubber material. Wall worts will not be a problem with this design either.
The only problem I am having is finding a good permanent location to mount the long and bulky PowerSquid. I normally mount power strips to the inside or outside legs of my computer desk, but such a placement of this device would make it difficult to see the 3, slightly recessed, surge protector indicator lights. Now that I have my own PowerSquid I will be throwing my other powerstrips into the trash and buying a couple more of these monsters. I consider this a very good buy.
Customer Review: The PowerSquid is the bomb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can a power strip be sexy?
The PowerSquid is one of those inventions that works well and looks cool to boot. The idea of solving the wall wart problem seems so simple, and yet why did it take this long for something like this to come out at an affordable price?
The design coup for this item though is outer covering for its inner workings.
The designers could have housed all of the wires and breakers and connections in a black box, but this unit has these sexy curves that look and feel right. When you hang the item on the wall, cords flowing down, it looks like a squid - GENIUS!
I like it because it looks good, it does its job and its afordable. Very Cool!
Customer Review: Awesome product, unbelievable price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like power squids. They are great for electronics, particularly when you have several "wall wart" type supplies that need to be plugged in. With a regular power strip, "wall warts" often take up 2-3 plugs greatly limiting a power strips effectiveness. This works around the issue. The only downside is that this is slightly bulkier than a power strip. If you have the room or the need, I still highly recommend this over a power strip due to ease of use and availability of all outlets.
Just make sure you are getting the Surge Supressor version. Not all versions have surge supression.
Customer Review: This is the best power strip I own
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a very nice computer, very nice speakers, and other various peripherals on my desk. To power them, I'm using the Powersquid with surge protection. There's no way I would leave this unprotected, especially since the apartment I'm in has a spotty electrical system that has blown countless lightbulbs for no reason. Secondly, the squid shaped outlets let me plug in transformer box after transformer box with no worries of blocking other outlets. I have two other Powersquids for non-essential electronic devices, I just had to get the surge protection for my 'pute.Customer Review: Works great

This is the answer; to powering all those peripheral's power adapters, especially for your computer.
Whoever designs the peripheral power adapters seems to think that their products power is the only one that is important.
I hate using a standard surge protector and have only 3 or 4 things plugged in, because some bonehead's plug-in takes up 2 places on the strip.
This squid works well for those situations.
