Pros: This power-strip works great in a vertical mounted position on my desk. The length works perfect as some of my USB devices have longer/shorter AC connections.
The length of the cord is perfect. Cons: none

Pros: Solid cord, strong cable, great cover over power switch. Mounting brackets are perfect for either drywall, wood or server cabinet installation Cons: newegg shipping on this product is strangely 50% of the cost. This is outrageous.

Pros: The length allows for adequate spacing of most power adapters, although I do still have a couple that are too wide. Fortunately, even they won’t cover more than one extra outlet, compared to the 2 or 3 they might disable on other power strips. The extra long cable is actually not very conducive to my use, but it’s definitely a substantial, well-designed cable with plenty of length for most uses. Also, they include wall mounting hardware, so that’s nice if you want to keep this thing stationary. Cons: A pretty minor thing, but for some reason about half of these half shipped with a broken plastic cover for the switch. These are easily removable, and don’t really serve much purpose beyond making sure someone doesn’t accidentally flip the switch with their foot, so it’s not really a big deal… just annoying Overall Review: Hard to beat these for the price, definitely better than anything you’ll find at your local hardware or electronics store.

Pros: Sturdy, metal construction. Clever mounting brackets. Long cord. Cons: none Overall Review: This power strip is a clear step above all of the other strips that I looked at. It has an industrial quality about it, and feels very solid.
I have this power strip mounted on the underside of my upright desk. The mounting brackets work very well for this application. They were super easy to install, and the strip snaps into the brackets very securely. The 24″ length is another nice feature; it leaves enough room between the outlets to accommodate wall-warts if necessary.

Pros: -Very durable
-Great price for the quality
-Has not failed me yet, almost 1 year coming up
-Would definitely recommend for any use, whether it be an office, garage, workstation, or something else. Cons: -Super thick and long cable, but its no big deal, just tucked away behind my desk.

Pros: * Solid – Made from extruded aluminum
* Easily mountable to a solid surface
* Outlets spaced far enough apart for a combination of wall-warts and standard plugs Cons: * Input cord located on face, rather than end Overall Review: The input power cord is excessively long for my needs, but it sits behind furniture and is hidden. The cord length may be a positive for others. I have not shortened it. Read on…
My plan was to modify this thing from the onset, and it worked out extremely well.
I purchased some round hole-mount switches, emptied this power strip out, drilled for the switches, then reassembled. I have five of the eight outlets individually switched, to give me a true power-off for some of my devices, such as a Roku2 and a powered subwoofer, while leaving power on to devices which typically don’t need full-off, such as a TV and A/V receiver. I also reoriented a few of the outlets by 90 degrees, making them more friendly to older-style wall-warts which cover an adjacent outlet when plugged in to a strip like this.
The innards are fairly simple to disassemble if you’re reasonably familiar with construction of such electrical items, and rewiring is also simple enough if you’re able to solder. The lugs of the outlets even slide out easily upon disassembly of the sockets, so there’s no reason you couldn’t reconfigure such a power strip as your needs might change in the future.
The width and depth of this unit is fairly small, making it compact for what it is, but it also allows more than enough room for installing various switches of a compact type. I have mine mounted below sight behind a TV on my furniture, close to the top, allowing me to easily reach and feel the switches. Roku gets warm when powered on and no option to turn it off: Switch off, no power use. Subwoofer always has a light on regardless of on/auto/off setting: Switch off, no power use. Wii game console can be turned off, but what about that brick that’s always using power? — Switch off, no power use. I don’t want my TV and A/V receiver to have a total power-off, so they’re always-on with this setup. Works out great, and saves me money on my electricity bill.

Overall Review: This 4′ power strip works out nicely behind my computer desk. I also use another one on my electronics work bench.

Overall Review: Use them to replace multiple 4-6 plugs daisy chained to have enough outlets. The power strip is perfect is has plenty of outlets and I no longer have fire hazards in the office. I am planning on purchasing 10 more to fix remaining offices in my buildings.
