Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can only use 1 usb at a time. Not what I hoped. Defeats the purpose. Why have 2 of they can’t be used at the same time?

The search protector is built very nicely and with good quality. The looks are very nice in the options for standard plug as well as USB in USB-C are awesome. I do like the configuration in geometry of the device as it allows you to plug in multiple devices Without the chords getting extremely tangled. This can always be a hassle and the configuration sort of separates the chords very nicely. Installation is really quick it requires only you to remove the Screw from theface plate Cover from the wall outlet. That is my one complaint about this device is that I Inserted it with the place plate on and the face plate off, and it doesn’t quite fit as nicely as I would like. If you do it without the face plate, it does leave a gap between the wall and the outlet and the backside of where your outlet will sit so that kinda is a problem. I would recommend if you’d were to use this to just leave the face plate on and And insert The screw that comes with the insignia outlet in. It seems to be OK. I still recommend. It’s hard for me to say whether it does adequate surge protection as that is very difficult to test obviously. But so far it’s working as intended.

I installed this in our kitchen and used it daily to power a range of devices including our security system, Echo, phone chargers, and the occasional small appliance. While installation is simple, it is limited to standard outlet types as it won’t fit GFI outlets or those with built-in USB ports due to a fixed plastic stub that enforces spacing. In our usage, all of the outlets and USB ports functioned reliably under regular load, with no issues related to power delivery, overheating, or loose connections. The layout of the supplied outlets themselves is well-spaced, allowing larger plugs to coexist without interference. The unit feels solid and well-built, with a heavyweight design that suggests durability and dependable surge protection. While I didn’t test its limits, I trust it will deliver the protection it claims. Overall, it’s a practical and reliable solution for expanding outlet capacity in high-use areas, provided your wall outlet is compatible with its rigid mounting design.

The Insignia 5-Outlet surge protector with USB and USB-C charging is a pretty handy thing if you have a lot of large plugs going to the same outlet. Standard power strips have the outlets placed so close together that the oversized ac adapters that power so many of our devices usually cover up other slots. Three of the outlets on one side of the wall tap are offset at an angle, allowing ample room for even the largest of wall-warts, and the other two outlets have their orientations flipped for even more room. The USB-C and USB charging ports are super handy, and work well for lower draw USB-powered devices like led lighting. While the wall tap technically only plugs into one outlet, it does have a post that fits into the ground port of the outlet above for stability. It's possible to permanently install the wall tap by removing the outlet wall plate and using the attached screw that goes where the wall plate screw went. The manual said that this was not good for aquarium equipment, presumably due to the power draw from things like the heater, so this sort of ruined the original plans that I had for it. Luckily, I've found the wall tap to be a good replacement for the traditional power strip in my bedroom. It's much more convenient to have my smart lights plug in closer to the wall vs the strip on the floor, and can have my watch and phone charging on my dresser.

Extra outlets, Fast Charging, What's not to like? The unit plugs into an existing outletand supplies power to 5 grounded plugs, a single 30W 'Fast Charging' USB-C and single 12W 'standard' USB port. My initial thought was that this unit would replace the wall plate on the outlet, but it does not. When plugged in it stands slightly (maybe 1/8") off the wall.If you mount it on top of your existing wall plate, it looks great. Simply remove the screw from the wall plate, plug the unit in and use the 'extended' screw from the new unit to tie everything down. Very easy. When installed, the unit itself juts out about 1 3/4" from the wall, so find an outlet where this will no be a concern to you. This is a surge protector as well, but understand that if you get a lot of power surges in your area it may not be a good option for you. If it trips, you have to replace it. There is no reset breaker. But, for the price, if it protects ONE high(er) value item, it is well worth the price. All in all, it is a nice unit. Adding 3 outlets, a Fast Charging USB-C and 'standard' USB-B slot and surge protection are godsends in this day and age. Unless you need battery backup,this should take care of all your basic power and protection needs.

I need a new plug that does pop when i plug up my stuff this work great
