Socket Sense SS1650W-06 Expanding 6 Outlet Surge Protector

What a great item, I can't believe no one thought of this before!!! Thanks to this great new product I was able to consolidate from two surge stripes down to just one. I bought two more for the garage. I can expand the unit as needed and it provides a very clean look.

Thanks for offering this great new item!!

With this surge protector, we were able to not only remove the old one from the desk top, we were able to install this one on the wall behind our PC desk. It is a terrific space saver. It holds four of the large plugs and two smaller plugs with no problem. This was not possible with the old protector because it was the inline type. One of the best purchases we've made.

We have a LOT of cords that need to plugged in and it seems every one of them needs surge protection. We are using this expanding model for our TV, DVD, Fios line, VCR and stereo system. One surge protector for all of these electronics instead of the usual 3 surge protectors needed. Yay! The Socket Sense is a little bigger than regular surge protectors but not nearly as big as having to use 3 surge protectors!! I'm planning to purchase at least one more Socket Sense.

I purchased two of these, in hopes that I could cut down on the power strip usage in the equipment room at work. Most of the environmental monitoring equipment we use on a day-to-day basis is rechargeable, but each power adapter is large, and we were only able to fit two adapters on a normal power strip. I had hoped to cut down on the clutter with two of these, but to my dismay, I wasn't able to fit 6 large adapter plugs onto one of these. So, I plugged in three and added to small extension plugs you can pick up at Target for the other three plugs.

So, did it help cut down on some clutter? Yes, but not as much as advertised.

This is a great product. A great invention to handle the different sized plug ins.
