Too many gadgets? This outlet extender can keep them close by and powered up. (Amazon)
Don't you hate having 20th-century walls in a 21st-century world? So many power outlets suffer from outdated designs that just don't work efficiently with modern gadgets and gizmos. You either lose multiple outlets because you plug in one clunky adapter, or you don't have the space you need to keep everything connected. The Qinliaf 5-Outlet Extender, now half off at $10 thanks to Amazon's October Prime Day, offers a streamlined solution, expanding a standard outlet from just two AC ports to five — and you get four USB ports too. No wonder Amazon shoppers have made it a No. 1 bestseller.
Thanks to AirTags, I can track my bags from drop-off to the plane to the luggage carousel. And even when the worst happens, and my bags end up in Orlando when I'm in Michigan (true story), I know where they are and how to find them.
"First, we bought one Apple AirTag for my husband's wallet. Then we bought a second one for his car keys," said this repeat buyer. "Now, we have a four-pack, which is cheaper, for our golf bags and checked roller bags."
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this top seller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Having an iPad is like having your own portable entertainment studio, and Apple’s most affordable model — available in two finishes — is now even more accessible with an additional 24% off. Enjoy a high-definition 10.2-inch Retina display, slim Smart Keyboard, ultra-wide front camera and all-day battery life (an Apple Pencil also transforms the screen into an immersive art canvas).
Another driver of automotive-accessory sales this year, this features high-speed USB ports that juice up your devices up to four times faster than typical car chargers. It even protects against overcharging and short-circuiting. Translation: Your phone won't get fried, and it can go from tapped out to fully charged in minutes instead of hours.
Don't sweat the next power outage. Built-in surge protection will help keep all your pricey tech safe when it's connected to this extender.
This outlet extender is already marked down by 50%, but the real benefit comes from how it gives you so much more usable outlet space than a standard wall outlet. It's also cheaper than most power strips and takes up less space. That makes it a worthwhile deal even at full price, and a no-brainer on sale. Shoppers agree — over 10,000 were bought on Amazon in just the past month.
Think about your most-used devices. What shape are their power cords? If they block more than a single outlet when you plug them in (looking at you, Google smart devices and Apple laptops), then you need an extender like this to make full use of the outlet.
Not only does it provide more space, but it also has a surge-protection circuit to protect your devices from unexpected changes in power. The Qinliaf Extender also detects the kind of device plugged into it and provides the appropriate amount of power, preventing problems with over-voltage.
This No. 1 bestseller has a shocking 66,000+ five-star reviews from those who swear by this outlet extender.
The biggest draw of this outlet extender is, of course, the number of plugs it provides. The Qinliaf extender "is much more advanced, attractive and powerful than any other I have tried," raved one fan. "It adds three additional full outlets to any plug, as well as three USB outlets and one USB-C outlet."
Another user shared, "Tired of having my cords all over the floor, this surge protector was a great buy! This surge protector not only provides multiple outlets but also offers robust surge protection, ensuring your devices are shielded from power fluctuations. ... Don't compromise on the safety of your electronics."
One homeowner pointed out that "this was an easy way to upgrade the outlets in our home without having to replace the receptacle."
Customer criticisms were fairly minor. "Only small downside is the bright green 'working' light," said another shopper. "It's a bit bright for something right by my bed. I wish it were red (easier on night vision), but at least it's not blue (harsh for sleeping) so overall quite satisfied."
Another noted, "The only downside is that it has a 1,000-watt limit, which means this shouldn't be used in the kitchen where most appliances would exceed this limit."
