Surge Protector Power Strip with... vs Power Strip Tower with USB Ports...

It's small so doesn't clutter the small dorm desk. It makes cord management easy and reachable. Amazing for aquarium keepers.

It is sturdy, offers both regular plugs and charger slots. If you plug the heavier plugs toward the bottom of the tower it doesn't tip over. My only issue is the charging usb. My rv has sufficient outlets.

Ft cord, good gauge size for 12 outlets. Different sections so you can flip the switch on each section when you are using that particular appliance but otherwise have it turned off when needing a different area. Light and air pump on another.

Live the flat plug. Small foot print on my night stand, everything gets plugged in. Extra wire length drapes off behind the nightstand.
