Customer Ratings & Reviews

Many people don't put a lot of thought into the power strips they buy/use for their electronics. They buy the first/cheapest one they see at the store. As someone who has lost electronics to surges and bad power strips, I've learned the hard way to appreciate quality. The PowerCurve24 is a fantastic power strip, for several reasons. First of all, the plug that goes into the power outlet is low profile and angled, so it can be behind a piece of furniture and not have to keep the furniture far away from the wall. The angle of the cord from the plug won't interfere with other plugs. There are four electrical outlets, each of which can be rotated, in case anything being plugged into them is larger than normal (though normal today is large). Very often you have to use two conventional power strips to fit the various bricks formerly known as plugs, but with the rotating plugs you can make more things fit. Also, there are four legacy USB ports, for plugging in phone chargers, power banks or anything else that uses an older USB cable. The power cord for the power strip is 5 feet long and seems very sturdy. As far as protection, it has an auto shutdown feature in case of power spikes and a resettable circuit breaker.

kinda chunky but the way the plugs rotate is convient

This is a nice looking and solid surge protector. I like the style of the design, but the real star are the flexible and rotating outlets. You can fit many sized plugs next to each other by inserting the plug and the turning it out of the way. There are four standard three prong outlets. The surge protector is taller than others, but this allows it to stand upright. There are four usb type A plugs that offer twelve watt power, depending on how many are in use. They share twenty four watts maximum so you may pull fewer watts if you are using three or four usb type A devices. There are two led lights near the power button on the surge protector. The blue light indicates that the connected devices are protected from a surge. The green light is illuminated when the surge protector detects a ground signal. It is important that the sure protector is plugged in to a grounded out let. If the blue light goes out, the surge protector stopped the surge to protect the attached devices and will need to be replaced. This surge protector also has connections on the bottom where you can mount it. Overall this is a really nice surge protector that works great for oversized plugs.

Did you ever have that problem of not being able to utilize all the outlets on your power strip due to large plugs that disabled the use of the adjacent outlet because the plug occupied the space? I did most of the time and the PowerCurve24 has solved this annoying problem! It always annoys me whenever I need an outlet to plug in my devices and find that my power strip no longer has space even though not all outlets have been utilized that I had to unplug one in order to plug another electronic device. With the 4 rotating outlets, I am able to use all 4 of them! And with the addition of 4 USB makes it very convenient to plug in electronic devices that uses USB-A. I have not observed the surge protection feature since we have not gotten any power interruptions. For sure it will come in handy and will be appreciated in the event of a surge. The on and off switch is a standard feature that I look for whenever I buy power strips because I want to be able to turn it off whenever we go away on vacation and need to shutdown my devices for long period of time. For the price, the PowerCurve24 surge protector is a total winner in my opinion and highly recommended.

This power cord / surge protector checks all the boxes for what most other devices are missing. First of all, it looks great is and not something you care is visible. The 5' cord is just the right length for most applications without too much extra to manage. The plug is angled so you can plug-in without blocking a second plug. The four plugs are great in that thy swivel so you can plug all different sizes of plugs without blocking the adjacent plug. The four USB-A plugs are an added bonus in not having to use additional plugs for an adapter. A next feature is the ability to balance the power based upon the number of devices that are connected. This keeps it from getting overloaded and causing a heat issue. The power button is easy to get to and the cool blue light confirms that surge protection is working. I connected devices to all of the connections and they worked flawlessly. If you connect devices into more than one of the USB slots it will slow the charging down slightly with the distributed power function.

My area is prone to thunderstorms and occasional power outages so in an effort to protect my computer and tv, I got a big beefy power strip. Once I had an old tube tv blow due to a power surge so, I tend to be a bit more paranoid. What I really like about this is the ability to rotate the plugs. I never realized how handy this was until I had it. I was also able to make a Charging Station with the USB ports so no more scattering around the house with phones, camera, watch, and tablet! My only problem is that it is so big. To counter that it can easily be mounted in place on the side of my desk allowing easy access and keeping it out of the way. I’ve had this in for about a week and while we have had thunderstorms almost every day, we have not had any type of outage so I can’t say anything to it’s purpose but I do feel more at ease with it protecting my important data and my expensive TV. I highly recommend this for any home or office. As a peace of mind item it is priceless!

This has been a game changer. With all the different electronics in our home along with all the different size power cords and chargers...it's honestly been a struggle at times. Unplugging one thing to make another fit because of the plug orientation or size...with this surge protector those issues have been solved. With the PowerCurve24, we don't have to keep unplugging things just to plug in a different electronic, due to the size or orientation of the wall plug. We first used in the kitchen - most of those plugs are all standard and it worked great. We moved it to the living room - which is where we really saw the value - all the different A/C wall plugs for the router, modems, security cameras, steam mops, etc etc etc...we stopped having to unplug one to use another. The biggest one was the vacuum charger. It's had a large wall plug which took up 2 spots on a normal surge protector. We also really liked the braided cord. It was easier to maneuver as well it just looked better. It wasn't just a dull black cord. The cord is about 5 feet long so you have plenty of space. The surge protector is also wall mountable. Also felt the outlets were snug and help the plugs well. Overall, this is a good surge protector. The rotating outlets allow for a better accommodation for different size power cords that reduces the need to swap things in and out.

In the box is the power curve surge protector plug, a users guide and a technical details, warnings and warranty booklet. First impression - I really like this surge protector. I like the height and the position of the plugs. The 5 foot cord allows me to put wherever I need and hide properly and still have cord left over if I need to switch locations. There are holes on the back so that you can mount to a desk or the wall. The wall plug is also flat so when you plug in, you don’t have to worry about leaving extra room for the bulky plug, you can move your furniture back to normal position. I love the blue and green lights that show that the surge protector is on and protecting (blue) and grounded (green). Each plug is turnable, so you can plug in those bulky plugs for the computer/laptop, the vacuum, the blow dryer or any electronic and click the plug to the position so that they all fit properly. I love that I am able to use each plug and not have to worry about rearranging or moving for the plugs to fit. Now for the USB-A plugs, this is not a deal breaker BUT I really wish that these were USB-C plugs instead. I have almost completely updated all of my plugs for phone, tablet, watch - my everyday stuff to USB-C and it would have been great to take advantage of this particular section with my newer plugs instead of digging out my old plugs. The USB-A section also has 24W shared, when you use more than two ports or more. If you use one port then it will be 12W. Overall, I would see myself purchasing more of these but only if the ports are changed to USB-C but I would still recommend to friends and family because I know a lot of people that still use the USB-A plugs that would benefit from this type of plug.

The 360 Electrical – PowerCurve24 has 4 rotating outlets and 4 USB Type A outlets. The power strip is thirteen and one quarter inches long and two and one eight inches wide. The power cord is five feet in length. The power strip has a blue and a green light. The blue light indicates the surge protector is actively protecting your devices. If the blue light is off, then the surge protector has done its job and the power strip should be replaced. The green light indicates the power strip is currently grounded. If the green light fails to illuminate the outlet is not properly grounded and you should utilize a different outlet. The four power outlets provided on the power strip rotate 360 degrees in either direction. The outlets are separated by two inches on center allowing for all outlets to be utilized, however bigger power supply square/boxed plugs will not fit side by side. The 4 USB Type A outlets are 24-watt max. If one is used you get 12-watts, if two or more are used the 24-watts is divided among the used USB outlets.

Biggest problem with surge protectors are their ability to handle various size of plugs. Huge bricks, angled cords, and side wired bricks. Some make it up by placing a couple with wider spaces, but if you have more than the two that accommodate them you're out of luck. With 15A there's plenty of juice to power most equipment. Just keep in mind not to go over the amperage or you'll trip the breaker. The 360 rotation is real. There doesn't seem to be wires that connect the outlets to the strip. I did a 720 spin and it never caught. So worrying about whether you can turn left or right won't be a concern. The included USB ports are nice, especially if you have more streaming sticks than your TV has usb ports to power. I have three so external power supplies are always needed. With four outlets I thought I'd be limited until I realized I needed two less outlets because of the built in powered USB ports. I do wish that they have a 6 or 8 outlet version coming out. I'd definitely have to grab a couple if they ever do.

One year what can I say?, With no moving parts short of rotating plugs. Built like a battleship, A plastic battleship, but nevertheless you could hammer nails with this and not dent it. It has function without question. The room that it takes and the space that it occupies make its price questionable, However, I haven't yet been zapped by the NSA. Recently, to know if it can survive the coded zap signals that take out old electronic equipment Like the ones I trust Still, it's a sharp looking power outlet that readily supports USB charging which has become a greater standard as a replacement to the old AC power plugs Or DC adapters. I wouldn't recommend it, since it hasn't undergone a serious electronics test like the many power strips that I do have. But time will tell. .

There usually is not much to say about a power strip with a surge suppressor, they are pretty much the same old same old. Does the 360 Electrical PowerCurve24 change that? In a word, no – but it does have some unique design features that make stand out. The standout unique feature is the rotating outlets that the 360 Electrical brand is famous for. Each of the four outlets rotates with a positive “ratcheting” feel that locks the outlet into place. The mechanism works well and far better than some of the competition and gives you the flexibility of moving bulky transformer power cord heads out of the way. The Powercurve24 offers 4 USB outlets for a total of 24V charging. The max output of 1 USB outlet is limited to 12 watts; far too low for today’s fast charging phones. My phone’s wireless charging is 15 watts, and my wired charger is 45 watts. I know 360 Electrical was trying to keep the price down since this is their entry level strip but I think the next model up (the PowerCurve77) would be better for most people if they were looking for a strip that can be used for fast charging. It is over twice the price so may prefer the PowerCurve24 and just use the charger that came with their phone or tablet. The 1080 joule rating is not very high so I would not use this for any type of expensive computers or electronics. Most of the surge suppressor I own are well over 2000 joules with several topping out over 5000 joules. Many manufacturers play with the meaning of joule rating so you should not take the joule rating to be the end all. Most professionals will recommend a well-built surge suppressor with 2000 joule and over for the more sensitive electronic equipment. Hover, I do not think that 360 Electrical is trying to target a power strip for high end equipment (even though they give “$100,000” in protection.) The entire PowerCurve series is designed to provide an ergonomic alternative for power strips in an attractive package. It is also includes “Charge Sense” that is supposed to “intelligently distribute power between ports while charging “ and “EMI/RFI Power Filtration that provides clean, noise-free power for connected video and audio devices.” I will have to take their word for it; I would have to break out the oscilloscope and meters to truly test that. In terms of build quality, the body is above average but a bit lighter than I would expect ( not usually a good sign for power strips.) The cord is very heavy duty and the plug is a slim line designed to take up minimal space. So, after a relatively favorable review, would I buy PowerCurve24? Probably not but not for any reason you would first think of. I do like the design a lot, but I would spend the extra money on the model above it. Not everyone would want to spend nearly twice as much so this is a matter of preference. Regardless, I would still recommend the PowerCurve24 for most users.

This is a very bulky, but premium seeming surge protector. It is about twice as thick as any other surge protector that I've used in the past, but it is well sculpted and functions well with the rotating plugs. My Use Case: I'm using this as a surge protector for my sit-stand desk set-up, and I find that to be an ideal use for it. My set-up is with a docking station and two monitors. Each of these devices tend to have plugs of different sizes and coming off in different directions. This power strip allows for each of these to be turned in the same direction, which is very useful in keeping the cables neat in the little cage under the desk. It is also the perfect length of cable in itself (about 6') to allow for the desk to go up and down without any issue of the power-cable getting too stretched. A nice little bonus is the USB plugs. While you're not going to fast-charge any phones or tablets with these (which is why I'm giving 4 stars), it's nice to have the plugs there to charge a few devices while working at my desk without needing to have a separate USB hub plugged in. This has the added bonus of making sure my desk light always has power - it is a USB plug light and having it plugged in to the docking station meant that it would lose power every time that the computer is disconnected, like when I switch from my work laptop to my personal laptop.

This has 4 outlets and 4 USB ports. The order you use the USB ports is somewhat odd. Based on the instructions, yes instructions for a power strip, you have to stagger them. I think this is more to have consistent and even power output per port. The outlets rotate. Which is a nice option if you have elongated ore large plugs. They are spaced enough to give you room between the plugs. Unfortunately I do have a couple plugs that it will not matter how you rotate, you use two ports without a short extension. Build wise, this is a sturdy power strip. You can feel the quality. The drawbacks. I question the placement of the USB ports. They could easily go on the side and allow for two more plugs. Overall, this is a nice power strip that would benefit from more outlets. If you plan to use for your computer. You burn two outlets with monitor and PC. If you have dual monitor, you just burned one more outlet. If you have anything more than a printer at your desk, I hope the rest are USB powered.
