FYI - I ordered and received one already.
Seems OK, but the cord is very stiff and it's hard to get it to not flip the power strip over unless you screw the power strip down.
3 AC outlets with a maximum of 1250 watts (125V/10A)

15 watts for the USB-C and 12 watts for each USB-A;
18 watts max when all 3 USB ports are used together

Forcing clicks to get basic info isn't ideal
I had one of these cubes for a bit (not this one, I think mine was an Anker), which I thought I would use for travel. However, the cube shape was not all that great for packing and was just awkward to carry around. I wound up going with one that was square but flat.

Just my experience in case anyone else is considering it for a travel option.

Wow, this is an extremely good deal if you are using a non-Type A plug and using an adapter. The adapter is usually bulky, and I am using some Type G devices, which are even bulkier. A regular 6-port power strip only allows me to plug in 3 devices because it blocks the socket. This one has a plug on each side so they won't block each other. I used to use something similar called the "Allocacoc PowerCube" which worked this way, but for some reason, the price of the Allocacoc PowerCube is expensive in the US, so I didn't get it. Now I can eventually in for one, or two. Big Grin

Also it is made in vietnam

Amount of reviews that pointed out the product didn't last more than months is concerning.

Typical Amazon trash to steal an idea from marketplace sellers (Anker in this case) but their implementation for the Basics brand sucks as usual. The usb ports are virtually useless due to their slow charging. The only plus point is that having the cable removes the risk of the unit falling off / getting disconnected during use.

Do you have any useful information to share besides an utterly useless comment. I am not bitter but seems like you have a narcissistic personality disorder.

The USB C port on my plug stopped working after 2 days. I see why these are $7.
