The device mount to the desk. All plugs work as stated and I can charge my iPad Air 4 on the USB C port. The only thing I would change is to add more space between each of the three power plug connections.

The mounting ability of this makes it really useful. It is mounted to my bed, with a USB-C cord in the USB-C port to charge my phone, which is then magnetized to stick above my head on my bed. Yes, I'm that nerdy.

not happy with the spacing between outlets. Using as a desktop plug for my laptop and phone charger and the ports are so close together I can only use two of them. Also the USB ports don't supply enough power to use with my Satechi magnetic iPhone/airPods combo charger. It will only charge one item at a time, which is typically fine but I ended up getting a plug adapter and now I ahve no room to plug in my printer, or anything else because nothing will fit in the space between the two adapters.

Clean, minimal and convenient surge protector

Insignia's new line of surge protectors are excellent. I love the new look across all their new white surge protectors as they are not only minimal and low key, but also provides unique design functionality. This desktop surge protector for example sits on top of your desk for easy access to outlets and USB ports.
Also included is a desk clamp to keep the surge protector stable, which is a nice addition, however I opted not to install it as I find it weighty enough that it doesn't move around on my desk. The blue LED light is also subtle and not blinding like some surge protector lights are.
If there is something I would have liked here is that I would have preferred at least one of the three outlets to be spaced out by itself on the far right to allow for a large power adapter without getting in the way of the other outlets, while moving the three USB ports to the lower half.

I wanted a small set of outlets to put on an end table - primarily for charging items. It came with a vice grip to hold it in place, but I'm not currently using it since my tabletop is marble. All ports seem to work fine and I'm glad to have the 3 differnt options. The cord was long enough for my needs, but not super long if you are looking for an extension cord.

I strongly recommend purchasing this outlet as it has exceeded my expectations. The power surge protector is everything in my area (there are many), and the USB ports add bang for your buck.

Perfect for my laptop and current desk situation. Soilid build and clamp is strong, much better-quality that I was expecting. If I had one complaint is the plug holes are to close together If you have a bigger power supply plug it may cover one of these partially and you will only have access to two. PD and usb ports work as describerd.

Very convenient.
