Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Ultra-thin 0.33-inch polarized plug with 45-degree angle keeps the second duplex socket free
  • ✓ Five AC outlets plus 1 USB-A (12W) and 2 USB-C (15W) ports charge eight devices at once
  • ✓ 1700-joule surge rating with a 10A overload switch that cuts power above 1250W
  • ✓ 1.57-inch outlet spacing fits five oversized wall adapters without blocking neighbors
  • ✓ 6-foot cord plus two wall-mount holes and four rubber feet for desk or wall use

Cons

  • ✗ Two-prong plug means no true ground path, only surge protection on an ungrounded circuit
  • ✗ 1250W ceiling rules out space heaters, kettles, and other high-draw appliances
  • ✗ USB ports share just 3.4A / 17W total, so charging slows with multiple phones connected
  • ✗ USB-C tops out at 5V/3A with no PD, so laptops and fast-charge phones won't hit peak speeds

Manufacturer description

The HOPOW 5-outlet power strip solves a specific problem in older homes: ungrounded two-prong wall outlets that modern electronics can't safely use. Its polarized two-prong plug measures just 0.33 inches thick with a 45-degree right-angle body, so it sits flush to the wall and leaves the second socket in a duplex outlet usable. From that single two-prong source you get five AC outlets rated to 1250W, one USB-A port at 5V/2.4A (12W), and two USB-C ports at 5V/3A (15W) — eight devices from one wall plate. The AC outlets are spaced 1.57 inches apart, enough clearance for five bulky wall-wart…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work in an old house with only two-prong outlets?

Yes, that is its purpose. It plugs into a polarized two-prong wall outlet and provides five three-prong outlets for modern grounded appliances, plus three USB ports.

Does it actually ground my devices?

No. A two-prong wall outlet has no ground wire, so the strip cannot create one. It provides 1700 joules of surge protection and a 10A overload cutoff instead.

How many watts can I plug into it?

The AC outlets are rated for 1250W total. A built-in 10A overload switch cuts power automatically when the combined load exceeds that limit.

Can it fast-charge a phone or run a laptop over USB-C?

The two USB-C ports deliver 5V/3A (15W) and the USB-A port 5V/2.4A (12W), with 3.4A/17W shared. That covers phones and consoles, but not USB-C PD laptop charging.

Will bulky plug-in adapters block the other outlets?

The five outlets sit 1.57 inches apart, spaced to fit up to five oversized AC adapters side by side without covering adjacent ports.
