easy, do a search for 'surge protector' - optionally include the word 'anker' - and open any well-commented thread. issues boil down to listings including a 'joules' rating but not being able to further expamd on claims - most often by saying nothing about *clamping* voltage. furthermore they will never include images of the back of the product that would allow you to get some detail on the specs and any claimed certifications.

lastly, often in the case of anker, claimed certifications might apply only to some component, like the cable, not to the whole unit.

Unfortunately, most outlets are in the low level of the wall unless you like charging the device in the bathroom.

Does it count as daisy chaining if you hook up a power strip to this?

Quote from KevinC1977 :
Sorry if I'm a little out of the loop. Is there a specific thread or posts I can read that has a summary of this back and forth? Curious to hear the arguments on the surge protection of a device like this.
If you search by Mifaso, you'll see it... but basic summary is as follows:
  • If it's not rated by everyone, it's not good. UL, ETC, CE, ROHS
  • It's made by non-american brand = bad
  • If you want real surge protection, then invest in the whole house setup
  • It's good for basic stuff
  • Something else that's in the middle of these 4 options...
IMO, these should/could be used for things like phone charging or using a temporary electronics, such as coffee maker or blender or anything that's not always plugged in. If you have appliances that are always plugged in, then i'd recommend investing in higher quality (much more expensive solutions). i.e my computers are plugged in pure sinewave batteries.. etc

"This isn't made by my buddy, Ralph in Randomtown, YooEsasAyy, so it's junk".*

*Ralph is a 'Murican morning drinker who insists that "work/life balance" means that he should be able to watch TikTok videos on his phone for 3.75 hours of his "full time" 4 hour a day quality control job. Ralph's actual job is watching machines made in China build this. But, hey, it's "Made in 'Murica" so it must be good!

Does that mean it won't fit or because it covers up the buttons or it will trip the GFCI?

If it's not UL or ETL listed, it should not be left plugged into a wall unattended. Period. Non-negotiable. Doesn't matter if anything is plugged into the device itself or not. No, a breaker will not step in and protect against the device starting a fire.

CE and RoHS don't really belong in the "will it burn your house down" conversation. CE is a self-declaration only relevant to the EU (and Chinese manufacturers are more than happy to slap it on everything they make), and RoHS for the most part means they didn't use lead solder.

These burn sometimes due to zero quality control. Any certifications they might have are fake.
I bought 12 of a similar one like this. 3 USB and 6 outlets.
9 were mis-wired so the hot and neutral were revered. Both wires wire black instead of a white for the neutral. 3 were accidently wired correctly LOL. Easy to tell with an outlet tester.
One had the hot and the ground rails inside installed on top of each other! That will cause your outlet to burn like in the reviews. You will see reviews of other brands that will outlet burn on first use.
In my case, I test all on a GFCI first. So with the rails touching inside one, it just trips the GFCI breaker. No sparks or fires
So I repaired the 9 reversed polarity and the one with the rails touching. I also re soldered the wires coming from the hot, neutral, and ground pins in alll of them. It was a poor soldering job and they applied some glue. With a gentle tug, some of the wires came off very easily.
Be careful with this kind of quality!
