I like this Outlet strip so much I bought a second one. It is extremely well made. The cord is so well insulated. I like that it as longer than most power strips. In a situation where the printer and the computer cannot be close together, it gave me enough length that my electronics could be plugged into the same unit. And the two USB ports are very convenient; I use them both! I would highly recommend this power strip. It is priced well, it is well made, a great cord length, great features all around.

USB and USB-C Additions

While this is just another surge protector, the look and feel of the product is good with a sturdy design. Not an eyesore because the surge protector strips are in corner fo the eye while working on computers for all the hours.
The USB and USB-C additions have been very helpful. In fact, I am using just 2 of the 4 plugs, but both USB ports and USB-C port is fully used. Did not realize how this could be useful. Will recommend.
Only thing is that a different color availability, like black could have been better but whie is not bad either.

I love this surge protector, I mounted it under my portable desk with strong velcro, it gives me several plugs that I can plug all my computer components, it gives me several USB and usb-c plugs, a very long cord, so that I don't have to either sit next to the outlet or have another extension cord. This was just a very good buy in my opinion.

Surge protector with USB outlets.

This is a very practical surge protector. It also allowed me to connect electric plugs and a USB cord without needing extraneous plugs. It is sturdy and the shorter rectangular shape is more stable than the longer ones. It also is more discreet as a result. We really like it!

This surge protector power strip has the perfect number of outlets for my needs - I appreciate the USB plugs so I'm not using up regular outlets for lower-energy items. My only complaint (as others have said) is that the light is REALLY bright. I put a piece of post-it over it to dim it and it's somewhat better. Would still recommend.

Decent power strip but terrible surge protection

This surge protector strip feels premium and well built. But I was terribly disappointed to see that the clamping voltage is 600V making it the worst surge protector in my house. At this price, it is a joke of a surge protector. Also, there was no documentation about the $750,000 connected equipment guarantee, so I think the specifications on the website is wrong! (Couldn't find any documentation on it even after googling.)
I ended up keeping it because I was not gonna use it for surge protection, and also so that Best Buy gives me the option to post a review- somebody has to point out the issues with this surge protector!!! I don't know why everyone gave it stellar reviews- I guess the people who noticed the issues with the product returned it and wasn't given a chance to review (apparently Best Buy only lets you review after the return period ends).
Anyway, if you want a working good surge protector, go with Tripp Lite or Belkin and stay away from this overpriced, ill-specced Insignia product.

Just enough outlets to go with the USB options make this expansion great for smaller areas where you don’t want or need the fixture taking up a lot of space and becoming an eyesore. Easily mounted as well to get it off the floor.

This is the 2nd purchase of these surge protectors. The long flexible cord makes it easy to get to even the hardest outlet. Having the multiple types of USB ports include is a great plus and allows charging of phones and tablets without having to use one of the plug spaces.

I love that the usb-c charges so quickly. Everything works well but i bought this for next to my bed and holy cow that blue light is bright at night. I keep meaning to tape over it which is annoying. I also realize a more perfect for me power strip would have at least one more usb-c for my watch. Both of these things are probably my fault for not realizing these things and picking a different one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's what you'd expect to do. Lights are a little bright but I just put a piece of tape over and then it works just fine. Good value definitely better than anything else I could find

This is an amazingly compatible USB-A and USB-C surge protector for home, home office, or work. The 30W USB-C can quickly charge an iPad Pro or MacBook Air 13” 2020.

It’s works as intended! You plug it into the wall, and then plug things into it. WOW!
