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.

Any name brand names ones on sale? I don't trust these Chinese ones, might have a spy camera inside.
Sorry to inform you that the name brand ones are made in China too... Don't need cameras in outlets (save for foot fetishists) as 99.9% of phones and tablets already have cams front and back so there good on coverage...

There's a 1-star review that suggests that maybe "ETL Certified" doesn't, in this case, mean what you think it means. Curious how the listing mentions "ETL Certified" :-) "After Sale Service: ETL Certified,Our friendly and reliable customer service will respond to you within 24 hours."

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE! FIRE HAZARD! Flawed internal design!
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
So, today when my wife plugged in her laptop there was a loud pop and a large amount of sparks from the outlet for about 2-3 seconds before the house breaker tripped. I took the unit off the wall and took it apart and found that the side outlets are basically plastic rails that are not held onto the plastic side very well at all. In these plastic rails runs a thin copper strip for each of the hot, neutral and ground. At the point where the blades of a plug are supposed to mate with the outlet the copper strip is split and formed into a rough shape of the plug blade. Unfortunately, as loose as the copper strips are if you put a plug in at a slight angle you will miss the split in the strip that the blade is supposed to go through and hit the outside of it, flexing it enough that the internal components can touch (in this case, hot to ground) causing arcing and a short. I would not use one of these - choose a better option!

UL doesn't test to see if it meets a certain standard. UL tests to see what makes the product fail. UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories. They find the failure conditions of products so that, should the product fail and you make an insurance claim, insurance can decide who was at fault if a particular product is found to have caused the claim. If it was within the range that wouldn't typically cause catastrophic failure, then the product was faulty and it was the manufacturer's fault. If you used it beyond its capabilities, like plugging too many space heaters into one outlet, then they know it was your fault. Fun fact: they actually send everyone an email if they're going to blow something up so the office people can come and watch. Sauce: I have a few friends that worked there. It's basically an entire company of pyros.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank obend

Got mine tested - confirmed: piece of junk.
Each USB A provided 1.46A max. Only one, did not test 2 or 3 at the same time.
Type-C provided only 1.46A max also.
I will return it tomorrow. I have plenty of PD chargers at home.will continue to use 6 outlet splitter from Dollar Tree and PD chargers.

Quote from Luigis3rdcousin :
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.
The outlet with two ports is wired to one set of wires. And outlets are usually daisy chained to four or more outlets. In short, don't worry about it.
