Manufacturer description

The DEPOW 2 Prong Power Strip solves a problem specific to older homes: ungrounded, polarized two-prong wall outlets that won't accept modern three-prong plugs. This DEPOW adapter converts one of those outlets into 8 grounded three-prong sockets rated 1625W/13A, plus 4 USB ports sharing 2.4A/12W total, two of which are USB-C. That's 12 devices on a single wall receptacle, so your phone, tablet, laptop brick, and lamp all land in one place instead of fighting over an adapter. Surge protection is rated at 1700 joules, covering your electronics against surges even when the strip is left plugged…

SpecPicks Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. It plugs into a polarized two-prong wall outlet and provides 8 three-prong grounded sockets, which is the exact use case DEPOW designed it for.

How fast do the USB ports charge?

The 4 USB ports (2 USB-C, 2 USB-A) share 2.4A/12W total across all of them. That suits phones and earbuds; it is not fast charging and will not power a laptop.

How much surge protection does it have?

1700 joules. That covers everyday surges and lightning-related spikes on devices you leave plugged in while away from home.

Can I mount it on a wall instead of letting it hang?

Yes. Two screws are included for mounting to a wall or other surface, and the 0.33-inch flat plug with a 45-degree angle keeps it close to the wall.

What is the maximum wattage I can plug into it?

The outlets are rated 1625W/13A total. Stay under that combined load; high-draw items like space heaters or window AC units are not appropriate.
