   I needed a power strip with longer than 6ft cord. This unit fit the bill. Good quality wire and assembly, arrived on time and as described.

   I didn’t even know they made power strips that had cords this long! We just moved to a new house, but it’s an old house hahaha. There are very few outlets throughout the house, and they are terribly placed. We kept running out of outlets for our devices and needed to get better access to outlets for the devices. We already had outlet multipliers (I’m not sure what they’re actually called) where you plug in an extender into your outlet so that you now have 6 outlets where there were originally just two. But those kept making the power go out in the house, and we’d have to go to the fuse box and switch the fuses off and back on multiple times a day. Which was a SUPER headache because my husband and I both work from home and need reliable internet connection to do our jobs!And on top of that, those outlet multipliers did not solve the issue of poor outlet placement. We still needed better access to our outlets because trying to plug the computer and tv and phones and tablets all in behind our bed just wasn’t cutting it. So I decided to check Amazon (my go-to for pretty much everything in life haha) and see if they had any power strips with extra long cords. I really didn’t think I would find anything, because I had never seen or heard of any such thing. And they really must not be too popular, because there weren’t very many available that I could find. But then I saw this Kensington one. And Kensington being a brand I know and trust, I was excited to try it out. I loved that it came with surge protection, because even though I have absolutely NO idea what surge protection even is, it SOUNDED like that’s just what we needed to prevent the power from shutting off on us every time we tried plugging multiple things in. And low and behold, the power hasn’t shut off since! We bought two of these, one for our bedroom, and one for our kids’ room, and both of them are plugged in to the maximum with devices that are running mostly all day if not all day.In our bedroom, we have our big-screen tv, our desktop computer plugged in, a mini fridge, and a humidifier that are all pretty much always running 24/7. We also then plug in our cell phones and laptops intermittently into the remaining outlets on the strip whenever we need those charged. Our daughters’ room also has a big-screen tv, a Roku device, humidifier, and a fan that are all usually running about 24/7. Then they will plug in their tablet to charge whenever that needs charging too. So, in general, both strips are maxed out almost all day everyday, and we have not had another power shutoff since purchasing these.Oh! Also, this may seem small and insignificant to other people, but it’s SUPER important to us…the fact that the outlets on the strip are all 3-pronged and they all face up and down, and not side to side. On ALL of our other power strips (regular length ones, and not Kensingtons), the individual outlets on the strip all face side to side: they look like this =-But on these Kensingtons, the outlets face up and down like this ‘.’ 

What that means, is that all of our chargers can fit next to each other on the strip at the same time. Even those chargers that are extra long and bulky (You know, the ones that would normally cover up both outlets on a standard wall outlet – Like how most hair blow dryers have) can fit next to each other. On our other power strips, there are times when we can’t use all the ports on it because one of our chargers is long and covers up the next port on the strip. It’s random, but it’s a huge deal for us!My husband is ready to purchase another one for the living room so that we can have better port access than behind the couch for everything! We love these power strips and are sooooo glad that Kensington makes this length of power strips! Great quality, and great length! We absolutely recommend this product for anyone looking!

   The cord is 15 ft as indicated. I would have liked for the holes for which you hang the product to have been centered, but that is not a big deal. I am no electrician, so this may be the nature of electricity: the plug closest to the switch does not provide the same wattage as the ones further away. My computer told me that it was not getting enough juice. My docking station would not charge my laptop and monitors. However when I changed the plug to one of the ones further from the on/off switch, everything was right as rain.

   Yeah, the power switch doesn’t switch anything. Would have been nice to work, but doesn’t matter I guess. I almost always forgot to shut off my last one anyway. Wasn’t worth the hassle of a return.Length is good outlets are spaced pretty good. DC adapters are always a pain, but this is a little better than my last one thanks to the outlets being perpendicular to the length of the surge bar.

   Has a good variety of plugs, a sleek design that saves space, a long cord, is easy to use and of course has been a good surge protector anytime there have been issues with the power.

   Great product for the price. The outlet can hold and sufficiently power several electronics at once with little to no issues. The only issue I ever had was having two heaters plugged into it at the same time and they would turn themselves off occasionally, but no issues other than that with any other devices. I also had an accident where our floor flooded and the protective thickness on the bottom of the outlet kept it from getting wet, which saved my tail while walking on the wet carpet. This is a great buy and quality and performance of the product is top notch. Definitely a recommended buy.
