ROOTOMA Power Strip Surge Protector with Individual Switches,6-Foot 14AWG Long Extension Cord 1875W/15A Wall Mount for Office Dorm Home Theatre (6outlets-6ft)

This is much better than just an extension cord or a normal power strip. This lets me turn on and off the plugs individually.I take this traveling with me. It has a good length lets me turn on my laptop charger when needed. I do not want my laptop ALWAYS on, but only after I have used it for a while. Having four plugs, this lets me charge my laptop and my cell phone separately. If I have an additional screen with me, I can have it on all the time.I do not need the plug to be compact, as I only use this when I travel. I do not plug it in behind anything so the straight plug works well for me.

I have a retro game console set up in my arcade and got tired of plugging and unplugging adapters, but didn’t want to have them all on when not in use. This worked perfect! I intentionally got the 5 outlet version for 3 adapters because the ColecoVision power supply is huge. In my photo you can see NES 2 1/8” wide, ColecoVision 2 7/8” wide then Atari 2600 2 1/8” wide. They just fit! Worked great for each console right off the bat. Versatile and good value.

Have this in a garage to help with heating a bit. The fact that the receptacles can be turned off and on is the main reason why I bought it, along with the Appliance rating.

Works as intended. Perfect for the kitchen counter and all those devices that don’t turn off on their own. Cord is ample length, but not too long. I like that the buttons light up when on, so it’s unambiguous it’s on or off

The ROOTOMA GT-6205 4-outlet independently-switched power strip suffers some misdescription.First, it does not provide surge protection. It is ETL Listed compliant with UL standard 1363 ("Relocatable Power Taps") and CSA standard C22.2 No. 308 ("Cord reels and multi-outlet assemblies"). Intertek (ETL) reports Listing to only those two standards for anything from the product's manufacturer, Donggaun Gwtee Electric Manufacture Co.,Ltd. At 2020 May there is no mention on the product label nor on Intertek's web site of any compliance with UL 1449 ("Surge Protective Devices") nor with the corresponding CSA C22.2 No. 269. Further, the product label carries no rating for clamping voltage ("voltage protection rating", or VPR), shunt current ("discharge current"; typically in kA), nor energy dissipation (typically in J or kJ). Thus, the product is a power strip, not a surge suppressor.Second, the outlets do not provide safety shutters. I saw no such claim in the Amazon product description, but the information insert packaged with the product mentions "Built-in safety shutters in AC outlets...". However, no, there aren't any.So, with the misunderstandings out of the way, what have we got? Seemingly a good 15 A power strip with a circuit breaker and with the added feature of independently-switched outlets. The switches on mine feel "solid" and the indicator lights work, giving a gentle orange glow unlikely to prove disturbing in a bedroom yet easily visible in ordinary room lighting. Note the cord is "heavy" in "both ways": weight and thickness.I have a couple spots where I use combinations of things that ought not all be on all the time, and that usually ought not all be switched off together, either. Formerly, I had to buy plug-in socket switches (such as this or this, or these, for instance) for the "more often off" items. With the GT-6205, the switches are already there for my use, so I don't have to allow for any additional (and potentially awkward) protrusion from an outlet. The only "catch" is the lack of a single "all off" capability; if you need that, you'll need a switched outlet, a separate switch, or a different power strip (unless you're counting on just yanking the cord out of the wall... ;^).You can mount the GT-6205, and you have at least a couple choices. Two #6 pan head screws will engage the mounting slots in the back (note the slots run left-right rather than up-down... unless you're mounting the power strip "cord up", as a "power _drop_"), or three pair of 3M Command medium-size Picture Hanging Strips will hold the thing up nicely. In either case, you could occasionally remove and rehang the power strip if desired. I wouldn't recommend 3M Command Mounting Strips because they may not be thick enough to allow for the thickness (maybe up to about 0.045", or a bit over 1 mm) of the GT-6205's "feet". Back to the Picture Hanging Strips, why three pair? Well, remember the cord is "heavy". I've got much of the cord's length hanging directly from the power strip, and I expect significant jostling on occasion. So, for confidence, I used two pair near the cord end and one pair near the other end.

I use this to make sure appliances aren't sucking power when not in use. I've got it on a counter with the instant pot, toaster oven, rice cooker, and stand mixer. When I'm not using them, the switches are all off, and they aren't using any power. When I need them, no hassling with the plugs, just flip a switch.

Great item.. I bout 2! Strong and durable.

Ok cord not the best quality for the price

Nice to have individual switches on each power plug. Saves unplugging when not in use. Switches seems solid and the build quality better than many found in stores.`

That's a very good power bar, very useful to not having to unplug devices all the time. Very good customer service, quick to respond to request, will definitely buy more products from this seller, thanks :)

Good one to use. Convenient and safe

Durable

For the majority it's good, the only complaint is that the outlets aren't tight enough to really hold in the plugs; even if you spread the plug spades out from your appliance that you are attaching it's still a little loose. I have attached my power bar to the wall, maybe a little more problematic then if it was on the floor and not much choice out there.
