Featured Comments

This relatively new entry from Anker doesn't deviate from the pattern established by most of their AC power strip products: their listing under TÜV [certipedia.com] lacks either a surge protection listing (UL 1449) or an appropriate listing as a "current tap/adapter" (UL 498A - the UL listing you'd be looking for on any direct plug - as in no cord - one/two to three/four/six outlet expanders). A review for the product [amazon.com] highlights the lack of safety certification marks. A reputable device with appropriate listings will bear UL listing marks. Proper labeling is typically seen as those holographic metal foil labels or an integral part of the injection molding in the body of the device to indicate a listing certificate number and/or the appropriate standards. You can review the guidelines here: https://marks.ul.com/about/ul-lis...h-america/.

Allow me to link to a completely random but otherwise comparable product [amazon.com] I do not personally recommend but which indicates the UL 498A listing's applicability to this product form factor. In fact, most any basic one to many AC outlet adapter without a cord would fall under this UL standard, as these Home Depot [homedepot.com] and Amazon [amazon.com] listings illustrate.

You can find a better deal, and likely build yourself a product better suited to your specific charging needs, by just constructing something like this out of a more traditional power outlet expander and a USB adapter.

Good luck!
Jon
The Anker to which you linked has all of the exact same problems as the Anker Outlet Extender in this listing. This Anker A9263 doesn't deviate from the pattern established by the Anker A9261 at the top of this slickdeal: their listing under TÜV [certipedia.com] lacks either a surge protection listing (UL 1449) or an appropriate listing as a "current tap/adapter" (UL 498A - the UL listing you'd be looking for on any direct plug - as in no cord - one/two to three/four/six outlet expanders).

Good luck!
Jon
Well, truthfully more like this is nothing.

This Anker Outlet Extender claims surge protection, but is not listed under UL 1449.

The form factor of the Anker Outlet Extender is that of a current tap / adapter (like simpler three-to-one or six-to-one plug in adapters), but it is not listed under UL 498A.

For the record, I have seen some Anker devices claim to be extension cords (which are covered under UL 817) when in fact the device should more correctly have been listed as a relocatable tap (what most people would term a "power strip", covered under UL 1363).

With this Anker failing to be listing under any of these standards, I'd call it nothing. And I don't pay money for nothing.

Good luck!
Jon

The form factor and features can be found among much more reputable brands. Consider shopping Tripp Lite [tripplite.com], APC [apc.com], CyberPower [cyberpowersystems.com], or any number of other reputable brands in the power space. There are going to be multiple options from each of those companies which could provide comparable features with a solution that also carries the appropriate UL listings.

Good luck!
Jon

Such an odd product. Typically in places where you have nightlights, it is a non-bedroom area where you'll be walking or an area that is has an unobstructed view of one. However, typically in places where you need six plugs you'll have a lot of cords coming out that you'll obviously not want to be walking around. Also, those things tend to be an eyesore so you'll likely want to obstruct their view with a furniture item or something. And lastly, it has two powerful usb ports which implies that you'll want to be plugging in your frequently used electronics... so again... back out in the open.

Hard pass for me, but hooray for the swiss army knife of multitaps.

Not sure what there is to be confused about - don't buy unrated electrical devices for your kids room - eg - don't buy this product.
That's the essence of what the other SD poster was saying.
Find something from another brand with a UL listing.

All Anker products without a proper certificate should be banned.

Works good at making you die in a fire. Toss it, seriously.
I'm a retired firefighter. Don't buy non UL appliances unless you want to die. This sh*t should be illegal. Like those insane male to male AC extension cords.

According to specs, its 500V (L-N,L-G, N-G), not sure if thats true.. you actually want 330v ones. The tripplite I got was at 400, coudlnt find one that fits in the location I need it for at 330v
