> 24 hourI was able to plug in power cords for 2 regular size Wemo plugs, internet router, tv, fire stick, wireless router, cable box and light. The outlets rotate perfectly to offset one from the other. The static outlets were perfect for the wemo plugs.

> 24 hourThis Echogear Surge protected power strip is one of a few that allows for the plug sockets to move so that they are not all lined up on the same plane. This makes for a far better change of getting all the device items plugged in that have odd shaped plug/transformers/powersupply. The unit is narrow and while it will seems nice and compact, the ideal is to have either a bit more girth or separations between each socket to allow the truly odd shaped over sized plugs to fit in. Overall, given the joules (respectable), design, quality of build, this is a nice handy item that Ill most likely get one again for another set of plugs elsewhere. This looks interesting but for those simply interested in function - it again fits the bill reasonably well. Who would have thought that something as mundane as a surge protector strip could have that geek gadget appeal. I liked the idea of rotating sockets that is a logical means to utilizing all the sockets provided and requiring a minimal amount of space. Similar units have each rotating socket butt up against each other while the Echo unit leaves a slight space between which makes handling the plugs and such much easier. A thoughtful and functional design. In use - As I need to keep as much cables off the floor and such, this item came in handy as it fits nicely near the wall and behind my monitor. I have multiple devices with odd shaped plugs ranging from wireless phone charger, external hard drives, media streamer, laptop computer, and then the regular plugs for monitor and external disc burner. This translates to 5-6 odd shaped plugs at any given time and the remaining are standard with one socket available on stand by for part time usage. What should be noted is while all fit fine, I had to make some decision on where to put each item so that the the collection sits somewhat balanced. Figuring it out only took a matter of seconds and I suggest others who opt for this device do the same. Along with ease of putting in all the plugs, there is a limited attempt by Echo to provide built in cable management clips. In my case it came in handy for 3 of the cables as they were flexible enough to loop and collect (the clips are at the far end of the Echo). I could still be happy if no collection was provided but I would image others would find it extremely useful. Overall, the unit is fairly lightweight but still when handling gives a sense of confidence as being made well enough to get the job done and for such a (again mundane) device, aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend this to a friend and have my eye on one of Echogears other offerings. For the price and functionality as well as tight build, I give all the stars. This device does exactly what it says and has that little extra - cool factor.

> 24 hourThe ability to rotate plugs means I never have to leave plugs open because they’re covered by large adapters or bulky cord heads. The main drawback is that the 3-prong plug for the unit itself is bulky, so it takes up more space and may cover up part of another plug.

> 24 hourThe versatility of the rotating outlets is a fantastic design. Able to use every outlet with smart plugs, power converters and light cords without making any one outlet useless.
