When Elivebuy reached out to me, I immediately noticed their USB-equipped power strip. Now, I’d seen these things before, but never paid enough attention to bother buying one. This time, I decided to take the plunge. About five minutes after rewiring my desk to accommodate the change in power strips, I was glad I had. With 5 USB ports (2 specifically for the higher draw of tablets) I’ve yet to be in situation where enough devices required simultaneous charging to necessitate plugging in even a single USB adapter. For perhaps the first time since I set up a home office, I have open outlets on a power strip.
Aesthetically, the Elivebuy power strip is nothing special. It’s matte black plastic, all writing in a pale grey, with 6 outlets arranged in a layout that is a bit of a double-edged sword depending on the shape of your oversized plugs. Like all power strips, it’s still a game of Tetris to determine how many of the 6 ports will be accessible due to the oversized power plugs that should have died in the ’80s. With built-in USB charging, however, you stand a better chance of not needing all of your outlets.

回复删除This is a great, high-capacity charger, with attractive and functional design, that accomplishes what it sets out to do.
VISUALS: I tend to like pure white charging strips and cords, because they tend to blend into the white baseboards that most homes and offices have. It takes up less visual space in many/most settings.
AC CHARGING: Having 4 AC outlets, rather than fewer, is a convenience; to have more than that, would result in a much bigger strip. This is a good compromise. The placement of the ports is unusually wise, with ample space, such that only the largest plugs will cover up a second outlet. It is a fairly big unit, because of the extra space it provides between the 4 AC slots. It is still reasonably sized, and I am happy to make that tradeoff; however, is space is a constraint for you, you could probably find a smaller unit.
USB CHARGING: The USB charging speed for multiple devices seems to be as fast as any USB chargers I have tried. This type of design is much more cost effective than plugging separate USB chargers into a power strip. You should not exceed the total amps that it is designed for by simultaneously charging high amp devices on most of the ports; however, that would be a rare situation given our usage. Additionally, it does not seem to run hot, which is typically the biggest concern with multi-outlet chargers.
OVERALL: If you want a white, 4 AC, 5 USB charger, this seems like an excellent choice. I am glad I bought it.
