機能一覧
This function protects your connected electronic devices from sudden, damaging power surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes or fluctuations in the electrical grid. It can be used whenever your valuable electronics are plugged into the power strip, safeguarding them against unexpected electrical spikes. The benefit is preventing irreversible damage to sensitive equipment like computers, televisions, and gaming consoles, thereby extending their lifespan and saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
The power strip features a 2300J internal surge protector, designed to automatically shut down in the event of overwhelming surges or lightning strikes. This crucial safety mechanism effectively shields all connected electronic devices from voltage fluctuations, preventing damage and extending their operational lifespan.
This function allows you to independently turn the power on or off for each individual outlet on the strip, without affecting other devices plugged into the same strip. It is useful when you want to power down specific devices (like a printer or a lamp) without unplugging them or powering off other electronics. This offers the benefit of saving standby electricity consumption, extending the life of your devices, and providing convenient control over your plugged-in appliances.
This power strip is designed for centralized power management and does not include individual on/off switches for each AC outlet. Users will need to control power to specific devices by unplugging them or using their own power switches, which simplifies the overall design but offers less granular control.
This function integrates dedicated USB ports directly onto the power strip, allowing you to charge smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other USB-powered devices without needing a separate wall adapter. It is incredibly convenient when you have multiple mobile devices to charge and want to keep your AC outlets free for larger appliances. The main benefit is decluttering your charging area, freeing up wall outlets, and providing a centralized, efficient charging solution for your portable electronics.
Equipped with 3 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports, this power strip provides a convenient integrated charging solution for a variety of portable electronics. While it offers a total of 17W/3.4A shared output, it allows for simultaneous charging of multiple devices without requiring separate wall adapters, helping to keep your space organized.
This function automatically shuts off power to all connected devices if the total electrical load (the amount of power being drawn) exceeds the power strip's safe capacity. It is critical for safety, preventing the power strip from overheating and potentially causing a fire or damage to connected electronics, especially if multiple high-power devices are plugged in simultaneously. The benefit is enhanced safety, protecting both your valuable equipment and your home from potential electrical hazards.
A built-in 10A overload protector automatically triggers and cuts power if the total current drawn by connected devices exceeds safe limits. This essential safety feature prevents overheating, short circuits, and potential fire hazards, safeguarding both the power strip and your valuable electronics from damage.
This function incorporates protective covers or shutters over the electrical outlets that prevent small objects, such as fingers or paper clips, from being accidentally inserted into the live electrical slots. It is especially important for households with young children or curious pets. The primary benefit is providing a crucial layer of safety, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock and offering peace of mind to parents and caregivers.
The product information does not explicitly mention the presence of child safety shutters on the AC outlets. While it emphasizes advanced safety features like overload and lightning protection, the absence of specific mention of shutters means this particular safety mechanism for preventing accidental insertion of objects is not confirmed.
This function features outlets that can individually swivel or rotate, allowing you to adjust their angle. It is particularly useful when you need to plug in bulky power adapters or 'wall warts' that would otherwise block adjacent outlets on a standard power strip. The benefit is maximizing the usable number of outlets, ensuring that all available ports can be utilized efficiently, even with awkwardly shaped plugs.
This tower power strip utilizes a vertical design with widely spaced outlets to accommodate bulky adapters without blocking adjacent ports, thus eliminating the need for rotating outlets. Its fixed outlet orientation is optimized for efficient space usage and a clutter-free setup.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The UWIWUTEI Tower Power Strip (B0D2V75GTC) offers a high number of outlets and a space-saving vertical design, making it a practical choice for multi-device setups. Its 2300J surge protection and comprehensive safety features provide a good level of device protection. However, its USB-C ports offer only a combined 17W/3.4A, which is not sufficient for modern fast charging or Power Delivery for laptops, representing a performance limitation. Additionally, some user feedback indicates a potential stability issue, where the tower might tip if cords are not positioned correctly, suggesting it could benefit from a more weighted base. Positioned at a competitive price point, it offers solid functionality for its cost, and with proper care, its fire-resistant materials and overload protection suggest a reasonable usage period and durability. It performs well in its main use case of providing numerous power and charging points in a compact form.
