PASSUS Surge Protector Tower With USB C Port

Right off, this power tower – power bar is smaller than I was expecting.

I thought it would stand a little taller. But that said, being shorter makes it easier for many people to use, so that’s a plus. The size is fine. The outlets are spaced good so you can plug in devices with odd size overly big plugs as some devices have. So that is a really sweet feature in and of itself.

To that end (product size perspective) It occurs to me that in order to give customers some perspective of product size I think sellers and Amazon should include – in at least one product image shown to advertise any and all merchandise, a type of ruler – like the one I have in these photos, showing the size in inches on one side, and metric on the other.

That way a person knows what to expect. A ruler. Pretty simple for removing the guess work.

Now, I bought this power bar when I was actually just looking for a long extension cord.

A neighbor had moved out and left behind a small fridge by the curb for anyone who wished to take to do so. I did so, and suddenly needed a place to plug it in, in a room without a handy outlet.

In reading up on the product I noticed you needed a flat surface to sit it on, which I assumed then meant I couldn’t just sit it on the floor, which is shag carpet. My original intention. So right there the idea of using it for the fridge was in question.

But in asking questions on here, people have talked about the power limitations. The instructions for the power bar don’t mention fridges, small or large, but do mention you can’t plug microwaves and the like into it. So I automatically assumed no fridges.

I don’t know the wattage of the fridge. I don’t have a manual, as it was free and put to the curb. There might be something on the back of it in that regard but it’s up on something now and I don’t even want to think about trying to move it just to find out.

In any case, I decided to try something else. I have a laptop in the room near the bed on an “end table” which is actually a modified old record shelf for vinyl singles. At Christmas this room is a guest room for my niece and her fiance. Unlike me, they have cell phones which need charging.

I took the 10 foot or so long extension cord I had been using for my laptop, a fan, etc… and plugged it in over by the fridge (on the other side of the room) in order to use that to plug the fridge into the wall outlet.

I then set this thing up near the bed where my laptop is. It will come in very handy at Christmas because my niece can plug her laptop in – and her and her fiance can charge their phones.

Still leaving plenty of outlets to use for other things such as the vacuum cleaner etc…

At first I had it shut off. My laptop has a battery back up, so I didn’t notice. But when the fan didn’t work I flicked one of the buttons on the power tower and everything was fine.

The product had some good basic instructions on a small sheet with regard to which way is on and which is off.

I really should have picked up a few of these as they would come in handy for other things in other rooms. Overkill somewhat. But a good product.

I was tired of powerbars where the plugs would cover multiple outlets. i don’t have this problem with this. Plus the USB charging outlets means I don’t need the plug just a cord.

I love this tower more than I thought I would. It takes up less than half the space of my power strip and spaces out my plugs more so they fit better. I also love that each section of outlets has its own power button so you can control them easier. It’s been great so far!

I’ve been using the 18W Fast Charging Port Surge Protector Power Bar for a while now, and I must say, it has made managing my devices a breeze. It so good I bought 2!

With its 17-in-1 design, this power bar offers a plethora of outlets for my work station. The 12 AC outlets spaced conveniently apart accommodate various plugs, while the five smart USB ports, including one USB-C, cater to my charging needs for phones, tablets, and other devices. It’s like having a charging station right on my desk.

The 10FT extension cord is a notable feature, providing ample reach without compromising on safety. Made of pure copper and UL-approved, it offers excellent current carrying capacity and peace of mind. Moreover, the surge protector’s 1800 joules rating, combined with overload protection and multiple safety features, ensures all connected devices are shielded from power fluctuations and surges.

Overall, the 18W Fast Charging Port Surge Protector Power Bar is a solid solution for anyone seeking efficient and reliable power management. It’s blend of fast charging capabilities, extensive connectivity, and solidish build quality. Highly recommended!

This is way more functional than I though it would be when I purchased it. I grew tired of moving my desk away from the wall or crawling under it every time I needed to plug or unplug a new device (the list of which seems to be growing in direct inverse of my wallet contents). This has 3 plugs on each of the for sides of the tower, each side having it’s own power switch. On a 5th face there are 4 USB-A and 1 USB-C plugs making it great for charging and powering multiple devices. It is compact and sits nicely on a corner of the desk. The individual switches makes it great for grouping devices and turning them on and off as needed. Well worth the cost!

Great functionality

Got this power bar and it’s been a game changer. It’s got 12 AC outlets and also comes with four USB ports and one USB-C port. That’s perfect for my whole setup, especially when I don’t want to dig around for extra plugs or adapters. The extension cord is long enough to give you some flexibility with placement too, so no awkward stretching to reach outlets. Its even got a built-in surge protector that adds some peace of mind if you’ve got expensive tech plugged in.

Overall, this thing just looks good and works even better. If you’re setting up your space and need something that’s both functional and sleek, this one’s worth checking out.
