Reviews around design (3.77 of 5)

  • This unit is of poor design and quality that does not deserve the normally good APC name.
  • Good design and very well built, a must have for limited space.
  • Sleek design is great plugs in a straight line good for plugging in square shaped power supply plugs without blocking other plugs.
  • I love the design of it, I like the look, I had no issues so far, everything works great
  • The alignment of the plugs does not favor designs for power-packs for small electronics not needing the third grounding pin.
