Glad it offers surge protection, regular 3-prong plugs, plus USB plugs.

And even better, it's got built in surge protection!It's thoughtfully designed with a lime green rubber bumper around all edges so there is no chance of damaging furniture when you put it down or other items in your suitcase or laptop bag

The surge protection capabilities are very modest, however

This is a nice little device that provides both USB and AC outlets, and also has surge protection

It is not, which could mean that this product does not satisfy UL's surge protector standards but instead satisfies some other UL standard that has nothing to do with surge protection.- 3-line protection

Even though this doesn't have the highest surge protection I've ever seen it will last for a little

I understand that the surge protection portion isn't designed for higher voltage (if a surge occurs), but if you're wondering if you can still "use it" overseas with just a plug changer (no need for voltage downstepping), the answer is yes

It's nice to have a surge protection when travelling.

Either of those would in my opinion offer far better surge protection than this Poweradd device.)

However, it will mean that I no longer have to carry my tablet cube, my phone cube, and a small extension or multi-plug, so it does replace several pieces--and adds in the surge protection.

This item is really compact and great to travel with to charge your electronics with the extra security of the surge protection.

The cord is thick like an appliance cord and measures 11 1/2".Poweradd cautions against daisy chaining this charger with other power strips for the surge protection to work properly

Again, as shown by the high clamping voltage spec, this is very high and indicates that this device is not going to prevent fairly high voltages from passing through before the surge protection will engage

The designations are line (L), neutral (N), and ground (G)
