Bottom line: Yes.

It is advertised as being ETL certified, which is an NRTL (like UL) that is run by ITS.
https://www.osha.gov/nationally-r...rogram/its
https://www.osha.gov/nationally-r...rogram/ul/

Many arguments exist about whether UL or ETL is "better," but they are both certified testing laboratories and confirm that a product meets certain standards. (the big difference is that UL actually writes those standards, whereas ETL tends to just use them for testing)

Checking ETL's site, this brand/model is listed in the pictures (Lvetek QF-519F):
https://ramuk.intertekconnect.com...enDocument

Important extract from the above webpage:
"Current taps with class 2 power unit, Model Nos. ...QF-519F..."
"A representative sample of the listed devices have been tested, investigated and found to comply with the requirements of the Standard(s) for Current Taps & Adapters (UL-498A) and are identified with the ETL Listed Mark."

Of course, all of that is assuming that the brand/model listed is genuine (fake products are fake, after all!), but that's always an issue, so YMMV.
The listed rating is 1875W. So, theoretically, you should be able to connect a 1500W heater along with a few other small devices, but take a look a the power consumpion of those devices. Even USB devices (like phones) can draw 50-100W these days.

One thing to note in the listing is that all of the USB ports are limited to 5V only, so no quick charging is supported. From the Amazon listing:
"USB Port Output: DC 5V, Total 4.8A (although this picture shows 4.2A max)
The UCB-C port doesn't support any other devices which need 9~22V charging voltage."
It's just a USB charger. There's no magic circuitry.

What could possibly go wrong with a device that applies arbitrary voltages to another device.
It's a valid concern, but even cheap SMPS almost always include an OVP shutdown these days. The exception might be the ridiculous capacitive droppers that are used in super-cheap lighting.

I bought that one and love it, installed around the house

Make sure you can screw it into the outlets or else it'll fall forward tho
If this falls out of your outlets, you may want to consider replacing your outlets. They do wear out over time and if plugs are loose (or even a little loose), that can create heat and risk damage (or even a fire).

If you use Phone to cook the pizza or pop the corn, the 1500W heater could be a little low for it.

Rebranded product sold under different names. While reviews are good overall, I'll stick to names I recognize such as Belkin, Tripp or Anker when in comes to electrical items. I'm done with cheap chargers and related. Overheating and vampire power has been commmon in my past experience.

Just bought 5 of the QINLIANF brand ones recently, all have been working great so far. Really great price, looks super clean and no issues with anything I've plugged into it.

I prefer to stick to the bigger name-brands for these things, but most of them are 2-3x the price and lack the same features (either no USB, or fewer outlets). This angled design also looks much cleaner than the "cube" ones I've seen that have outlets on all sides of a block.

While I might not plug my AVR into it, I've plugged TV's, phones, mini fridge and other electronics into it without any issues so far.

Why do these things block the second outlet or not utilize it at all?

Because that second outlet gets power from the exact same place, so it's technically not needed at all. The top outlet gives the bottom one power so we can have 2 of them. This is basically doing the same thing, but just splitting the power to even more outlets etc.

I think they're referring to surge protector aspect, cause in case of an overload, the magical surge protector circuitry will protect the device.

Any reason why these multi port outlets only use one outlet on the back? I feel like it would be better to not overload one of the sockets. Plus it would give it more stability and structure on the back. Just seems like a way to cheap out.

You are also counting on the manufacturer to build production modes to the standards of the tested unit.

I would not put anything between a 1500w heater and the outlet
