Appliance Extension Cord with Individual Switches on Off - 6 FT, 14 Gauge Heavy Duty Extension Cord with 4 AC Outlets, Wall Mountable, High Wattage for Microwave Workbench Garage Must Have, ETL Listed

I bought this when we were having the PGE blackouts but didn’t use it until recently. We used it with our generator when we lost power for a few days recently and it was so convenient to be able to just turn off a switch instead of wrangling cords to switch between what we wanted to power at the time and not overwhelm our generator. It’s well built, sturdy, and totally convenient. I like that the switch lights up when the plug is ‘on’ and I had forgotten it has incorporated surge protection witch is a huge bonus, as we also charged our phones etc. The only bummer is that you lose at least one plug space if you have a larger sideways plug, but it’s not a big deal. I want to replace all of my older power strips with these!

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

Good quality

Functionally awesome cord length I should get a little longer one, but it was still fine I don’t think it had one. I’m not sure as versatile yes Outlet capacity yes, power I like it because you can turn off what you’re not using so you’re not using as much as electricity at one time and yeah it definitely save on the electric bill for sure cause you could turn on and off what you are using and what you’re not using and is better than having power always There

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.

Very convenient

I bought several of these and I find them very handy. I've place one on top of each of my sewing tables to easily turn the power off to my sewing machines and work lights. I have the same set up for my home office and craft tables. I highly recommend them.

Love having these. Find myself using them frequently. Gives peace of mind, knowing no power is going to this or that when I leave the room.
