Zettaguard Surge Protector Power Strip with 5 USB Ports, 6 AC Outlets, 1700 Joules, Wall Mount and 5ft Extension Cord, Fast Charging Speed, Black

Bought this ZG450 almost six years ago, use it for charging USB devices. Recently, the blue pilot light stopped illuminating. On other surge protectors I've had, this was a indication that the surge protection was no longer working. The product description says, "smart USB charging port will automatically detect attached devices and self-adjust its output to the required charging voltage and current, so as to avoid any compatibility issue, and allow a faster charging time." Don't know if it's still doing this.My issue is that I've sent multiple inquiries as to whether the unit is still safe, and have never heard anything from anyone. I hate to throw out things, especially if they're still working okay, but I don't need any fires, either. Apparently, most companies nowadays function without any human intervention.

Once in a while you find a device that is a perfect solution. It has sufficient power ports and usb connectors to accommodate all my devices. Have been using it for probably 4-5 yrs with no problem so the quality is fantastic. Would recommend it highly.

I got this for travelling. It's on the large size (it has 4 outlets so it's not going to be tiny), so it's more something you'd toss in your bag as opposed to your pocket. The outlets are reasonably spaced so you can easily get at least a couple of wall warts plugged in at the same time - maybe more, depending on the shape. Why they face these with the grounds facing toward the center, I don't know - seems like if they were facing out, they'd potentially give you more room to plug in those clunky adapters. I guess you could pull the thing apart and reorient them if you really needed to.My main use is to be able to plug in a travel router, phone, tablet, and maybe an external battery or two using the USB charging ports, a powered USB hub using one of the AC outlets (to connect and power a USB hard drive to the travel router), and use another AC outlet to charge a laptop. That gives me a couple of outlets and USB charging ports left over in case I need them (as long as I don't go over 40 Watts total, so no plugging the microwave into it).This works great for all of that, and I don't have to worry about making a "Sophie's Choice" about what gets charged and what doesn't.There's an on/off switch (no breaker) and a pretty heavy-duty 4-foot power cord, with a small, subtle blue LED indicating that the power's on.It's supposed to also be a surge protector, but I don't know if that will actually work - and I hope to not find out.

I've had this for several years now and it works just great. I used to use it just for traveling. It was really helpful to arrive in a hotel and be able to easily charge everyone's devices. Then 6 months ago, a different product I had been using near my bedside failed so I have been using this every single day to charge phones and iPads at night. So far, so great and it takes up very little room on the table. Very happy with this.

I bought this charger to rid myself of chargers while traveling.I went on a trip for 5 weeks to countries where power sockets are notoriously few and far between, and when you find one, there is power for a couple hours on a generator.This charger allowed me to keep my 4 cameras, 2 phones and backup battery charged thanks to the fastest charging I've seen to date.Now that I'm back in the US, this allows me to plug my laptop and all my gizmos on a single power outlet in hotels.the cable is 5ft long (about 150 cm). If there are no outlets available, you can even unplug one of the lights, plug this in and then plug the light in it, you still have an extra outlet to plug your laptop.I haven't timed charging phones compared to standard chargers but I can attest to the fact that it is significantly faster, even than my fast charging Anker battery.

This product was perfect for my house. I have so many different items I want to charge but sometimes end up missing the wall plug ins for the wall outlet. This allowed me to have less clutter and leave my charging cords all in one place. I charged my iphone last night while eating dinner using the Zettaguard and it charged my phone very quickly. It is small for any desk in your home or office. It has a power switch in the back to turn the device on or off. You will know when it is on because you will see a blue indicator light that will stay on while. The design is very simple but yet stylish. I would recommend this to anyone who travels as well and has multiple devices they may want to charge on the go. The power cord on this device is long enough to give you an extra two feet of extension from a power outlet.

An outstanding addition to the suit case of any road warrior with lots of electronics. The hotels and airports never have enough plugs for all the gadgets we have to carry. The work phone, the personal phone, the tablet, the computer, it all adds up fast. I like this one so much that when someone from TSA swiped the first one, I bought the exact same one right away.

Perfect device for travel. Each USB port delivers full amperage and is compatible with smart charging devices. My Galaxy Pad fully charges in a couple of hours, compared to an overnight charge when plugged into my Macbook. Especially like it for international travel; you only need one plug adapter and don't have to worry about plug adapters for USB adapters because they are not needed.You may not think all of the USB ports are needed. I regularly use three to four: iPhone, Galaxy Pad, headphones, and a USB battery. The extra ports come in handy when traveling with the kiddos. And I plug my Macbook into the 110v plug on top.Only improvement I would recommend to the manufacturer is to consider a redesign of the case to allow wrapping of the power cord around the outside of the case.
