Customer Ratings & Reviews

This review is for the Insignia 5-Outlet Surge Protector Wall Tap. It turns your standard two-plug outlet into a total of 5, as well as provides two USB ports for charging devices like smartphones and tablets, etc.. When either of the two USB ports are used alone, the USB-C Power Delivery port provides 30W, while the USB-A offers 12W of power. However, when used together, they share a total of 20W max power (5V 4A). The tap itself is an attractive and clean design that fits in well into most outlets. I did discover the tap will not fit a GFCI outlet in my kitchen as the spacing of the plugs was off just enough to prevent the tap from inserting into the wall outlet. I wouldn’t recommend that anyway since it would cover the reset switch and indicator lights. A long screw is provided to secure the tap to the wall, but in my case that wasn’t possible since none of my outlets use the center screw. The tap still feels very secure and not really an issue. Of course, one of the top features is the 1,080 joule surge protection and it’s UL-1449 Certified. A small green LED lets you know the surge protection is active. The instructions do mention that at some point, the device will reach the end of its service life and the wall tap will need to be replaced. It doesn’t say how long before that happens, but it might be a good idea every once in awhile to check the green LED light status if surge protection is a requirement. The tap will continue to work in any case. I think this is often the case with most surge protectors. The Insignia 5-Outlet Surge Protector Wall tap fits my needs perfectly in our kitchen, where I have an All-in-One PC and Echo device plugged in to the outlet located in the tile backsplash. It’s a much cleaner solution compared to using a bulky and unsightly power strip. In addition, I keep a USB cord plugged in for convenience to charge our smartphones in the kitchen where we spend a lot of time. Highly recommended!

This inexpensive Insignia 5-outlet wall tap with surge protection is a very useful device. It converts a normal 2-outlet wall plate into 5 surge protected outlets with USB-C and USB-A charging ports. Installation is easy. Remove the center screw from the 2-outlet wall plate, plug the 5-outlet wall tap into the wall outlet over the wall plate, and secure the wall tap and plate with the longer center screw provided with the wall tap. The screw holds the wall tap securely in place, preventing it from coming loose when you unplug an AC cord. A green light indicates surge protection is active. Be sure to pay attention to the USB-C and USB-A charging specifications. The device provides 30W charging through the USB-C port or 12W charging through the USB-A port when either is used alone, but charging is limited to 5V and 20W max when the USB-C and USB-A ports are used together. I have a new Pixel 10 phone that supports 30W USB-C charging, and the Insignia wall tap works perfectly with it. I have charging limited to 80% to extend battery life, and the Pixel 10 charges from 10% to 80% in about 45 minutes. Two of the wall tap outlets, one on each side, are upside down which allows the wall tap to accommodate low profile AC plugs while avoiding possible mechanical conflicts with the wall or with another adjacent plug. The wall tap extends about 1.5" from the wall plate, which could be a problem if you want to use it behind a piece of furniture that you want to keep as close to the wall as possible. In this situation you probably need a surge protector with a cord and low profile plug connected directly to the wall plate. The Insignia 5-outlet wall tap has been perfect for my situation. I was out of outlets with a lamp and charging adapter, but with the addition of the tap I have spare surge protected outlets, and a surge protected 30W USB-C charging.

I got this to replace my 6 pack outlet strips. This one is good for up to 1500w and 15 amps. Also has electronic protection for electrical surges. Only thing missing is a shut off switch. USB-c charges my iPhone, no need for wall adapter! Organizes all of my power cords. Wish it came in black. Fits multiple wall warts. I used the provided screw to secure plug to outlet. I probably didn’t need to do that but better safe than sorry. Does not come with instructions on how to use the screw to mount the adapter. Just remove the wall plate screw, plug in this adapter to the outlet, then use the provided screw to lock the plug in place. I like how some of the plugs are upside down. Helps fit bigger plugs. This does take up both outlets and plugs into the bottom outlet. This plug is UL listed. It it pretty low profile sticking out about 2” from the wall. I highly recommend this. It is pretty basic but gets the job done. My pc speakers are plugged into it and I don’t get any static from the plug.

- The 5 outlets are spaced out well. - The built in USB-C port does 30w fast charging when only using the USB-C port.

Easy to install, has plenty of plugs to use, Fits great behind furniture

The USB-C port actually delivers 18W – I tested it with my iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and it charges just as fast as the brick that came in the box.

Exactly what we needed to clear up extra plugs for chargers! The USB-C super fast charging

Works amazing! Haven’t had any issues at all. Have all outlets used and is still going strong. Definitely recommend!

Perfect, I love that it includes a screw to secure it in and to your wall.

Absolutely love this. I put it in my kitchen, I have under cabinet lights that need usb plugs. Plus the regular kitchen items that need a regular outlet. Fits perfectly and I’m happy.

This product gets the job done! Used this product in the bathroom- more than enough plugs and outlets for the air freshener, electric toothbrush chargers, and other appliances.

Works great for having extra outlets. Does exactly what it says.

Innovative way to have extra outlets for several items needing to be plugged in. Having the usb is a plus and having surge protection is a bonus.

Worked out great. Now I have USB & C type built so no need for different plugs filling up the outlet. Keeps me organized with no more clutter.

great for the bedroom. it's great i have them angled and one on the middle. so other large plug ins don't get blocked. having both usb c and a ports is nice. i can keep using old cables. and for the price, can't beat that.

I was looking for a multi port extender with higher watt type C connector. This coverred all th requirements. Nice design to connect multiple adapters without blocking other ports.

The insignia 5 port surge protector does what it saids, gives 5 additional ports along with a 30w usb-c and 12w usb port. Great flexibility too use in a spot with tight plugin space.

Very easy to install and works exactly as needed for tv and additional tv components. USB outlets are a great addition for charging controllers.

I was looking for an outlet where I could connect multiple items. I use this for different items and it works great, it is big but sturdy.

Pretty good device to save a lot of space by not using a power strip. Low on power protection is the only downside though.
