Awesome product, no power source needed

Awesome product, it gets the job done! There's a lot of expensive alternatives but most of them need a power source. I don't have professional equipment and I don't think the average person would be able to tell the difference of quality from this switch and a more expensive one. I needed this switch to have both a PS4 and my Samsung TV port into a surround sound system, it worked great, I just flip the switch and the audio is there and as a bonus, I don't need a power source! Overall I would definitely recommend and buy this product again!

So much power!  I use this with a rPi when travelling as a file share hub at conferences and never have to worry about being near an outlet.

This APC Battery backup is excellent and will help provide you with those critical minutes when you suffer loss or interruption of power. I am using this for my Entertainment center to protect again short losses of power and brownouts, so that my DVR and Video Game Console don't shut down on power flashes.  It was easy to install, like any power strip, and everything is labeled on the back. One your flip and pop in the battery you are good to go. The LCD is nice and bright and goes dim after inactivity, so you can place it in any room, without worrying about staring at a LCD light. It is a bit tall and bulky, similar to a small Desktop, but that is to be expected due to the amount of power it supplies. I would definitely recommend it to anyone for their PC component or Entertainment center components

Hmmmmmm, where to begin? Let's start with the power supply. Well, the good thing is that it doesn't require batteries. Or is that a good thing? Devices like this are most effective in the middle of a room. But, the supplied power cable (micro USB cable and a power source), is rather short. I guess you can buy a longer cord and solve the problem. Just gotta be careful to not trip on it. Batteries get expensive, but don't have this problem. Overall, I prefer the power supply it's designed with. So, +1 with me.

Ok, now the good stuff. With the dome on, and the instructions didn't mention taking it off, it's not very exciting. Boring really. HOWEVER, if you take the dome off, it comes to life! It's kinda like watching a laser light show. AND, the light contraption can be angled 45 degrees. So, if you do have it on one side of the room, the lights will extend to the other side of the room, just slightly dimmed there. There are supposedly 9 patterns, although I could only distinguish 2, the ones with all the colors and the red only patterns.

So, why buy this. Well, some reviewers have mentioned kids, relaxation, etc. You can also use it to create a kinda romantic/sensual mood in a room, especially using the right music. I haven't tried the speakers since I have much better Bluetooth devices for music, but I wouldn't expect much bass from it. Still, it's kinda cool that you can plug music devices into it. Handy in a pinch.

Overall, this thing is fun and was a surprise. I've tried cheaper ones before and they broke. All of them. The build quality with this one is solid and I have no concerns at all that it will last. I highly recommend this product!

I received a discount for my review and it in no way affected my opinion of it. I really like this thing!

I cant recommend this highly enough. Imagine when you travel: one feather light brick to power your macboook, your phone, your watch, and any other USB powered device. I wish it had an LED which showed that the unit was supplied with power... maybe in version 2? This would be especially helpful when traveling in foreign countries... But no matter, I love this product.

I went into this product based on its looks, I needed something different then a normal long flat power strip to fit into a tight area. I looked and looked and stumbled on this product. I Had never heard of the manufacturer before but decided to chance it.

I'm very glad I did! It's  well built, feels sturdy, has a nice  thick cord, doesn't feel cheap, and looks sleek. It has 10 power plugs that are well spaced so even my bulky plug adapters fit in with absolutely no problems, unlike the traditional power strip, which is why I needed this product in the first place. It has 4  USB ports which is handy. It also has Built-in Overload Protection which will shut off the section overloaded instead of potentially frying your devices connected to it. So each of the three sections can be "reset" if somehow you overload it with the press of a button. It has a red light on each section letting you know its on and powered, which is nice. Also with this feature you can turn off one or ALL of the 3 sections of the unit for devices you don't want leeching power while not in use, running up your electric bill.

This was a added great feature for me. As some devices powered by this unit need to stay on 24/7 and some only when I need them. Instead of just leaving the unused devices plugged in 24/7 I can hit the button to power them on when In need them. For those who don't know, most devices still leech power when not on. For example your average Cable Box/DVR can use 20-40 watts even when not in use, your Ipod stereo charging station 40-50 watts, just to display the time when powered down! I added up the electronics that I usually left plugged in  24/7 even though I didn't always use them. It added up to roughly 75 watts according to the manufacturer's label on the electronics power consumption when off or in standby mode. So let's do some quick math.

75 watts divided by 1000 = 0.075 kilowatts
.058 kilowatts * 24 hours = 1.800 kilowatts per day
1.800 kilowatts * $.12 (cost of a kilowatt where I live) = rounded up $0.22 a day
$0.22 a day * 30 days (about 30 days each month) = $6.60 a month!

Now granted I knew about this before. Yet still didn't unplug the unused items, because well I guess im lazy. I didn't want to go through the hassle of unplugging them and replugging them each time I wanted to use them. Now all I have to do is press a button or two and if I forget the red light reminds me that section is on. So this item pretty much pays for itself within a few months on top of that it's actually saving you money in the long run. Pretty badass bonus if you ask me!

Overall I'm VERY happy with this unit, it's solid and allows me to fit everything I need plugged in, into  a tight space. Lessens the tangle of cords due to its design, looks better and of course is saving me $$$. I'm going to order a couple more.

I love this thing. I've had it for almost a year now.
This is very convenient because if you have a GPS, phone charger, radar detector, etc. that is powered by that socket, then you can't charge anything else! That sucks if you need to use 2 things at once and can't because you're limited to one socket. I love this because I power my radar detector one one and phone charger with the other (or usb). But it's cool because if my friends' need to charger their phone as well, they can use the usb port. All 4 work at once.

I absolutely love this. It's almost been a year, I use it everyday, and it's still going like as if it was day 1!!!

I don't have to put up with all the unique little power bricks. A couple of cords, and all my remote gaming gadgets, phones, Kindles - all charged in one place! No computer or PS3 needs to be left on. Plug and forget.

This is such an awesome kit. Absolutely love the tool-free case. Made getting up and running much easier. The power supply is *slightly* suspect as I got a few low power alerts when running hard, but haven't had a problem since I got things up and into daily use. Overall, I'd say this is a great bit of kit with a lot of potential. If this kit had a memory card with it, it'd be perfect. But they're cheap and easy to get elsewhere. (Plus everyone has different capacity needs.) Anyway, I highly recommend this product.

I've hooked this to 3x100W panels and it is has had me completely setup on power since I got it.  my weekend escapes are hassle free with charged batteries and plenty of power.  ( I use and icechest not the frig, so I'm not sure if that would hold for the weekend.  but lights, heat fan, radio, and charging phone/ipad for the weekend only took about 40% of a battery, but was full again by the time I packed up and was ready to leave.

Perfect accessory for the fire stick, no more power cord needed!

No external power needed, no discernible signal loss, this guy is really a huge convenience. Using it to keep 3 consoles plugged in via EuroScart at all times without having to swap cables constantly.

If you don't want to have to frequently swap out your RGB setup, and don't need a huge number of ports to accommodate your collection of consoles, this is an inexpensive, and easy to use product to suit your needs.

What a great product. The design is sturdy, and it solves having to worry about charging all my power hungry devices often. I can charge my phone, and ipad out of the battery and no longer have to sit next to an a/c outlet as they charge. Love it!

So nice to get something that works well, is built to last, and doesn't use electricity to do something.  Great product, 5 stars!

Great product  Like the idea of connecting a hard drive without another battery source.
