Too many gadgets, not enough plugs? This $10 outlet extender is the fix you need

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 So many power outlets suffer from outdated designs that just don't work efficiently with modern gadgets and gizmos.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, 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.

Why is this a good deal? ??

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.

Why do I need this? ??

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.

What reviewers say ??

This No. 1 bestseller has a shocking 64,000+ five-star reviews from those who swear by this outlet extender.

Pros ??

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."

Cons ??

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."
