HOPOW's home & kitchen lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features

  • 【2 Prong to 3 Prong Outlet Adapter】This adapter can convert two prong outlet to three prong sockets, making it particularly suitable for the non-grounded outlets in older homes. It transforms 2 prong extension cord into safer and more aesthetically pleasing power strip. Featuring an ultra-thin polarized plug (only 0.33 inches thick) and a space-saving 45° right-angle design, it installs flush against the wall. It can also be concealed behind furniture or appliances, effectively eliminating clutter.
  • 【16-in-1 Charging Station】The two prong to three prong adapter equipped with 12 AC outlets (Max 1250W), 2 USB-A ports (5V/2.4A, 12W), and 2 USB-C ports (5V/2.4A, 12W), this compact 2 to 3 prong outlet adapter safely powers up to 16 devices simultaneously. USB ports auto-detect connected devices to deliver adjustable charging speeds for smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, e-readers, and more.
  • 【2 Prong Surge Protector & Overload Safety】This 3 prong to 2 prong adapter features 1700-joule surge protection, built-in USB safety protection, and comprehensive safeguards against surges, overloads, short circuits, and overcurrent, delivering full protection for sensitive electronics. The 10-amp overload protection switch automatically cuts off power when the load exceeds 1,250 watts, ensuring device safety—no need to worry about forgetting to unplug.
  • 【5 FT Cord & Wide-Spaced Outlets】This two prong power strip solves placement challenges with a 5-foot cord for hard-to-reach areas. Its outlets are generously spaced (1.7 inches apart) to accommodate up to 12 large adapters simultaneously without blocking adjacent plugs.
  • 【Wall-Mountable Design】Two prong extension cord includes two pre-drilled mounting holes (with 2 screws) for secure installation on walls, workbenches, desks, shelves, or under countertops. Four non-slip rubber feet keep the unit stable on surfaces, maximizing space efficiency in bedrooms, offices, or vintage house.
