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.

You can unscrew the back and look inside. Also, what are they connecting to to get internet?

Yo, did you buy that magical wall socket to match the magical iPhone and it attached to the magical circuit breaker connecting to the magic power grid powered by pure mountain water and sunshine running

If not, it can plug into the same thing as my $3k tv and 50k+ electric car.

Tempting, but do I trust plugging my $1,000+ phone into this charger? 🤔
I think I'll pass.
You think apple cares about you to not include a 8 cent charger in there box to avoid people needing to keep people from buying a $20 wall adapter? No

You are the reason the worlds in a scarce economy

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.
Actually outlets can be "split" and provide power from two separate circuits, and for this very reason one would never want to combine them back into one circuit. There's not necessarily even a guarantee they are in the same phase given residential service typically has two 120v lines coming in that are 180 degrees out of phase (which is how you get 240v for e.g. a dryer or range/cooktop). E.g., one outlet could be getting power from 1 phase, and the other from the 2nd phase (I don't know if this would be against NEC, but nevertheless, it happens in the wild regardless of whether or not it should). Try to combine the two and you may end up tripping two breakers, possibly the main, and may even cascade up to the transformer serving your house, since you'll be backfeeding 120v up each circuit.

Even if they're the same phase, you now potentially would create a situation where regardless of e.g. a light switch position, the light will now always be on (usually, outlets are split like this to support a switch controlled lamp).

Many such wall plugs use the 2nd outlet for mechanical support, however (e.g. with a plastic plug) to help with retention.

I've had a few of these.... same and different brand.

One things most of these do that's annoying is a buzzing sound, especially when charging.

don't notice in office environment (lotta background noise from HVAC), but at home it's quite noticeable.

In some cases, even when not charging you get the static or bliping noise.

Tempted to get this one. I have another that's 2x usb-c and 2x regular. It's half-half in our house if it takes usb-c or not, so it does make more sense. I just dunno if I trust the other one (yet). Gotta read up.

Or, Apple sees huge profit margins from generating fear-uncertainty-and-doubt to their customers about anything not Apple branded or have paid a fee to Apple. 5V USB is very old, stable tech and it conforms to independent industry standards. Any product that can't be safely charged in my car USB outlet; an airplane seat USB outlet; a charging kiosk in the airport; the non-Apple branded USB port in my laptop; or a generic USB battery bank is an arbitrarily crippled product. Shame on any vender trying to squeeze gullible customers.

Make sure you can screw it into the outlets or else it'll fall forward tho
It's not just 1 cent cheaper, its actually more powerful (4.8 Amps vs 4.2 Amps)
