It’s alright, kind of pricey for the look and feel of it. It does its job but it’s also a bit of an eyesore, probably best to use somewhere out of site.

Travel sized AC protection with USB

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This Rockfish surge protector has 6 standard 3 prong AC outlets, 1 USB type A outlet and 1 USB type C outlet. This protector protects all three AC lines ( ground, hot and neutral) unlike some others. There are 2 LEDs indicating that devices are grounded and protected. Rockfish offers a conditional $150,000 connected equipment guarantee. The coolest thing about this protector is that each AC receptacle rotates 90 degrees. This rotation allows close spacing between standard plugs and wall wart type transformers. This would work great in those hotel rooms where all of the wall outlets by the bed and desk are being used and you are expected to plug a fat transformer into a lamp base (where it won't fit). The back side of the protector has a plastic prong to insert where the ground prong would go in the bottom receptacle of the standard dual plug AC outlet. With the top (active 3 prong plug) plugged in that plastic post, designed to provide stability, would not properly go into the bottom outlet. I clipped off the bottom prong and the outlet worked fine. The USB outlets work fine but are not high power which so many devices today require. I got messages on my tablet and a laptop that I should use a more powerful charger to reduce charging time. This is a great size to travel with if you need multiple AC outlets.

Using this in my home theater room to connect two recliners and charge usb devices. Works wonderfully. Didn’t want to use a big surge protector for chairs, but didn’t want them frying due to the spotty power we have in the Rocky Mountains. This set up quickly and the adjustable swiveling outlets make recharging my Xbox Ally X simple via its huge power adapter. It’s fairly compact, so it doesn’t take up space against a wall or cabinet, and I haven’t had any issues with it feeling overloaded with basic items plugged in. Definitely considering getting a few more for bedrooms. The device feels durable, and the plug sockets don’t feel loose. Sturdy, grounded 3 prong plug. UsbC and regular usb sockets for cellphone chargers or video game controller chargers. Two blue lights tell you it’s on and working properly. More than enough outlets and protection for most common household devices, and the swiveling outlets will accommodate your average charger bricks and ac adapters. Perfect for a kid’s bedroom and game systems as well.

Everything swivels!

This is a great solution to add more outlets and surge protection without having to use a bulky power strip. It just plugs into the standard 2-outlet wall plate (covering both outlets, of course) but then you get 6 surge-protected outlets. The clever new feature that this wall tap has is the six individual outlets that swivel independently.
Earlier versions that I’ve purchased swivel three on each side together. The independent swivel definitely makes it easier if you have a couple bulky power bricks to plug in. With this setup, you can likely avoid wasting any of the other outlets by keeping them accessible for smaller, standard plugs.
One thing this doesn’t have is a screw through it that can secure it to the wall plate by the middle screw. Depending on what you plug into the wall tap, it might tend to work loose from the wall. However, if you mind what you’re doing, it does plug into the wall outlets fairly securely so this may not be a problem.
The lighted “protected” and “grounded” words make it clear that everything is working as expected. They are fairly bright in a dark room, so depending on where you have it plugged in, you may want to stick a piece of tape over them to block the light.
The USB-A and USB-C outlets are a nice touch as it seems like we’re always looking to plug something else in to charge. Individually, the USB-C port will provide 5V/3A and the -A port will provide 5V/2.4A. If you have something plugged into both ports, then they’ll share a maximum of 3.4A. So, it’s not a huge amount of power, but it’s enough for smaller devices and accessories.
It comes with a 1-year limited warranty and mentions a “connected equipment guarantee” of $150,000. I don’t see any details about how to actually claim damages, but there is an email and phone number listed on the rocketfishproducts.com website. Overall, I think this is a great surge-protecting wall tap and I won’t hesitate to get another one just like this when I need more outlets.

Love the Swivel Feature!

In our house we have what seems like ten thousand electronic items that need to be plugged in at all times or charging up, from security cameras, to tablets and smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, and smartplugs, etc. not even including traditional items such as lamps, clocks, televisions, and appliances. The standard two-plug wall outlets just are not enough anymore.
So we have several strip outlets placed throughout our house which somewhat serve the purpose of providing the juice for all those electronic items. Problem is, many of those electronic items—especially the ones servicing modern tech items such as laptops, tablets, smartphones and all things internet connected—have bulky power adapters or plugs which present problems when they need to be plugged in at the same source. This Rocketfish 6-outlet Surge Protector is quite the clever solution.
Instead of the traditional strip outlet connected via a cord that plugs into the wall—which often does not have the spacing to accommodate bulky power adapters and plugs—this can handle six bulky plugs/adapters effortlessly because it has a unique swivel feature whereupon each of the individual plugs can swivel outward up to ninety degrees to accommodate various sized plugs. Ingenious! And on top of all that, of course everything is protected against power surges; and in addition to the six outlets there are also two additional ports, a 12W usb port and a 15W usb-c port. There are also LED indicators which clearly show that the ports are grounded and protected.
And lastly, installation is quick and simple—just plug it in the regular wall outlet, done. No need to screw it in or anything.
Definite 5-star review, definitely recommended!

Very Nice Surge Protector

The Rocketfish 6 outlet surge protector is a very nice surge protector with some very useful features. It has 6 outlets that can each individually turn up to 90 degrees. It also features two USB ports, one USB-A and one USB-C. These are conveniently located on the top of the plug rather than the front. Individually, the USB-A port can provide up to 12W and the USB-C port can provide up to 15W charging power. If both used simultaneously, they share 17W total. In addition, this surge protector features of to 2100 Joules of protection, and even comes with $150,000 equipment guarantee. There are two LEDs on front to indicate Protected and Grounded status. The design of this surge protector is really nice. The way the plugs swivel up to 90 degrees, it is very easy to fit all sizes of plug and not lose access to the surrounding plugs, unlike traditional non-swivel plugs. I would have liked a few more USB plugs, but including at least two was a nice touch. Overall I am very happy with this surge protector. The design is very well thought out and it provides adequate protection for my electronic devices.

Very Useful Configurable 6-outlet adapter

If you're like me, there are times when it useful to have more available wall outlets without necessarily taking up some space with a power strip. You may already have had a 6-outlet adapter like I did where one or both groups of three are able to swivel. My biggest gripe with those was that the swivel there helped position things to reduce crowding on one side of the wall tap, but one still had issues with potentially space conflicts between adjacent outlets. This solves the problem by having each individual outlet swivel. Now you have significant freedom to plug in anything to the outlets. With this design, there is always an arrangement where all outlets can be used without conflict.
Aside from 6 AC outlets, you also have access to a USB-C and USB-A port to charge low power devices. Years ago, when I got my first 6-outlet tap, this wasn't a concern. Now, about half the devices I'm attempting to power use USB anyway so being able to go direct and save myself needing to track AC adapters is nice. With 15W (USB-C) and 12W (USB-A), you're not getting the highest charging speed but this is more than enough to keep charge a phone over a few hours or laptop overnight. With some wireless chargers needing a minimum of 25W input to operate, supporting USB PD would be a nice addition but far from a deal breaker.
For me, the tap worked fine with all 6 outlets in use. Obviously, one can't overload the electrical circuit that it is plugged into. It will occupy both outlets in a traditional wall socket, having three metal prongs for the top socket and a plastic pin that goes into the bottom socket for support. I found it to be pretty secure, even in an older outlet where normal wall plugs felt a bit loose.
