Great multi-outlet adapter that also looks great plugged into the wall

Great device. Gave us the extra plug-ins much needed. Great for smaller spaces and no hanging cords.

Easy to use. It has greatly helped with the additional outlets/chargers etc.

Works very well and an excellent great deal. Thank you so much.

Easy to hook, maximum high peak surge protection and fast charging usb

Excellent Surge Protecter can plug USB-C and 5 outlets. Good for bedroom and living room.

Works great for what I need extra plugs are great with the type c

Seems to work well. Charges two phones via usb ports just fine.

I really like the convenience of the wall surge and I think I am going to purchase one for my son.

It is flat with lots of cord plug in options. A little more of a slim design would be nice.

Product is very useful for plugging multiple things in

like how i can have everything on one plug in one spot.

Works well. Nice design Multiple items can be plugged in.

Excellent at allowing for multiple devices to be connected at once without taking up too much extra room. Great surger protector. Could use to have 2 usbc and usb sites.

Works as expected, but off white. Slightly unstable in outlet even with screw.

Nice for the amount of things that I hook up to. I recommend this LT to all!!

Very useful when you’re limited on plugs. Love surge protector.

The Insignia 5-Outlet Wall Tap Surge Protector is a nice space saving device for certain areas. After removing the screw that holds the outlet faceplate in place, the unit plugs into a standard 2 outlet wall plug. There is a long piece of plastic on the back that slides into the grounding hole on the upper of the two outlets. A long screw in the center, replaces the screw that had been holding the faceplate, and now holds the device in place. The wall tap has 5 power outlets. There are 2 outlets on each side and the sides run at an angle, making it easy to plug in adapters. One outlet it upside down, allowing you plug 2 adapters into each side if necessary. On the front you will find a 5th outlet. Above the outlet are a USB-A and a USB-C port. These can be used for charging your USB devices. The USB-C port provides up to 30 Watt and the USB-A port provides 12 Watt charging if the USB-C is not in use. When both are in use, the USB-C provides 20 Watts. All of the outlets and ports are surge protected to keep your devices safe. The unit has an LED indicator that lets you know that your devices are protected. Should the LED go out, it means that the wall tap has protected your equipment from a surge in power and needs to be replaced. This wall tap is easy to install. It provides surge protected power to up to 5 devices, plus can protectively high-speed charge up to 2 devices via USB. I think that the kitchen is a great spot for this device, but a home office is another great choice. Regardless of where you use it, I think you will like it.

I got this Insignia wall tap because I needed more outlets behind my TV and a place to charge my phone without adding another bulky charger. After a few weeks of everyday use, here’s what I actually think. First — the good stuff. It’s small, simple, and it works. Plugging one outlet into five AC sockets plus a USB-C and a USB-A port is exactly the convenience I wanted. The outlets are spaced in a way that actually lets me plug in a chunky power brick next to a slim plug without everything blocking each other, which is surprisingly handy. The USB-C port is great for charging my phone without dragging a charger over, and the USB-A is useful for my old gadgets. I also like that it has surge protection (1,080 joules). That gave me peace of mind plugging in my streamer and router. For the price, it seems like a good balance of protection and value — I’d rather have this than no protection at all. A few things to keep in mind: the unit is a wall-tap, so it stays where you plug it in. That’s perfect for my TV setup, but not great if you want to move it around or need a long cord. Also, the product page doesn’t say much about exactly how powerful the USB-C port is, so I wouldn’t rely on it to fast-charge a large laptop — it’s clearly aimed more at phones and tablets. If you own very expensive gear and live somewhere with frequent lightning or big power spikes, you might want a heavier-duty surge protector with a higher joule rating and more indicators. But for everyday use — bedside lamp, phone charging, TV accessories, routers — this is a tidy, inexpensive fix. It would be particularly good for: - A bedside outlet where you want phone/tablet charging plus a lamp. - A living room behind a TV where one outlet becomes multiple and you also charge a streaming device/console. - A small home-office wall setup where space is tight and you want USB-C charging. Less ideal for: - Heavy-duty power setups where you expect high surge risk or many big plug-adapters. - Locations where you might want a long cord (since wall-tap has no cord to reposition). If I were to summarize: If you’re looking for an affordable, space-efficient surge protector with USB-C and USB-A charging built in, for everyday electronics (TV, router, laptop, phone), this is a strong choice. The Insignia brand has decent user feedback overall for its surge-protector range. However, if you are hooking up high-end equipment (say a gaming PC + multiple monitors + home theater + expensive audio gear) or want maximum assurance (higher joule rating, more features like coaxial/ethernet surge protection, indicator for “end of life” protection), then you may want to consider a higher-end model. Overall: easy to install, does what it promises, and makes life a little less cluttered. I’d give it 5 stars. I’m happy with it and would recommend it for most users looking to tidy up a small area.

It’s great to get something that is simple to install and easily takes care of a problem that was an inconvenience. We have a wall outlet in our family room that was already taken up by a floor lamp and cordless phone. Whenever one wanted to plug in a charger or laptop then something else was getting unplugged first. Well, problem solved just by removing the outlet cover plate and inserting this 5-outlet wall tap surge protector into the two wall outlets. The supplied screw simply goes into the same middle screw hole to firmly hold this 5-outlet wall tap in place. In addition to gaining more than double the outlets that are conveniently located on the front and sides, one also benefits from one USB-C and one USB port for charging accessories such as iPads and cell phones. I appreciate that it also provides protection for power surges and spikes up to 1,080 joules. There is an LED indicator in the front, lower left corner that is lit to indicate one’s devices are protected. I have used other Insignia products from Best Buy and I’ve found them to be a very good value. This 5-outlet wall tap surge protector has a solid build and feels very secure in the wall outlet as one unplugs cords from the outlets. The only situation this may not accommodate is if one does not have clearance behind furniture to allow this wall tap to stick out roughly 1 ½” from the wall. The four side outlets are at least angled to allow for easier access.
