About Socket Shelf by Sharper Image 8 Port Surge Protector Wall Outlet
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
83% appreciated the safety features, though 17% raised concerns
The adapter overheated and melted at the back, exposing a dime size hole in the plastic and the interior wiring. This needs to be addressed properly to avoid any safety hazard.
93% liked the number of available outlets, but 7% found it insufficient
The device cannot handle more than two devices plugged in at the same time. It happened around the fifth or sixth time since I set it up.
85% liked the ease of use
On both sides of the socket shelf, there are holes that allow cords to pass through without taking up extra space.
I love the multiple regular plug ins which have come in handy for my blender, mixer and multiple phones. I also like that it has two USB ports and use it for my IPOD daily and also when using the battery charger.
89% highlighted the durability, but 11% mentioned it wore out quickly
I lost power to all my receptacles in three bathrooms and laundry room when the socket wall device rendered my GFCI receptacle inoperable.
I find the product's construction flimsy and it's difficult to plug electronics all the way into the outlets.

The shelf seems flimsy and the plastic is too thin, which raises concerns about the product's durability.
89% were satisfied with the long cord length, but 11% found it too short
I got rid of the surge strip under/behind my TV and the mess of cords since I no longer have to run so far to reach the strip.
I have experienced an odd electrical buzzing sound from the outlet when I plug in a USB cord. I have tried different cords and even charging my phone, but the issue persists.
