4+ Port grounded Power Strip swivel plugs with 4 x USB-A fast power USB-C internal Charger. As a Power strip it’s both visually appealing and functional, you can put this unit on TOP of the table with your Electronic devices and it’s not ugly, intrusive, or leaves cords hanging every which way but organized.
It has ample lights to indicate operations; it’s well grounded and boasts a NANO-SECOND reaction speed to altercations in power. These feature are nice and if I had them on 09/27/21 the rapid spike attack on the power line may have been intercepted and I would now have an extra computer and printer (both over 30 years old functional & loved), That alone would have made this a godsend.
The Easy to use swivel ports reduce the wire management a great deal in particular if you want the power strip to be exposed on a table or wall rather then tucked in some dark corner looking nasty However limited to 2 Regular sized adapters. (Pictures Incl),
Using this strip to daisy chain others made the limited 2 Adapter issue mute, and the future is likely USB Power based which reflects this device very well.
Those 4 USB-A and Power Button could have been mounted on the side, still look very cool and allow 2 more swivel mounts not to mention a larger more powerful capacity worth the extra cost. But then the GMA fast charger electronics may have required unique engineering.
It took me only an hour to recharge – 1 Camera, 2 Phones, 1 x Wireless Ear Buds, 1 x Tablet, 1 Li-Ion Camera Battery, 1 Wireless External HD and 1 Laptop.
Now what about adding a USB data port for data exchange, and mp3 music player. Asking too much?

This SPA 360 surge protector works well and saves some space, and charging devices by having its own USB ports. It has 4 sockets, and 4 USB-A ports, is ~2 ¼” high and ~13 1/4” long without the cord and rated for 1080 joules. There is ~1 7/8” between the center of each socket. It has an on/off switch and once on, a blue and green LED light softly glows. You get 24 watts total on the USB ports. It’s white with black around the sockets on the top. It’s easy to open the box, just open up the top, make sure to remove any tape from the bottom and the package slides out. Open it up and take out the device. The only part to engage on the device is the on/off switch.
The sockets are easy to turn. Once a plug is in, turn in either direction, and you’ll hear a series of clicks as the socket rotates. This is great for large and oversized plugs since you can put them on opposite sides of each other or at angles. With a built in USB charger, I was able to plug in my Fire TV stick and earphone cases directly into the surge protector. This allowed me to get rid of other power blocks for some devices and a separate USB charger saving countertop space.
If 4 sockets, and 4 USB ports meet your needs or can save you some USB power chargers, this surge protector should wok for you.

What a great surge protector this rotating outlet for my home. I replaced my old surge protector for this 360 Electrical with the 4 rotating outlets and 4 USB-A ports I was able to connect everything in my room that needed protection like my cable modem, Wifi router mesh, security camera base, TV and my FireTV 4K Stick. The rotating outlets helped making sure all the big electrical plugs fit well and organize. Some of the great features this 360 Electrical has is the charge sense technology that helps distribute power between the ports for a fast charging for more than one device plugged like phones, tablets, laptops, etc, 1080 Joules surge protection, also have power filtration for a clean noise free on my audio surround system and Blu-ray. The cord is about 4’ flexible braided cord that looks better than those other old power surge protector. The whole outlet looks good , I was able to hang it on the wall for a more clean, organize look inside my room, this is a must have surge protector outlet for those people that has electrical devices with big square plugs that won’t let other plugs fit beside each other.

Now more than ever, home devices have increased, e.g., home theaters, game rooms, offices, etc…, and in most cases, the standard duplex (2) wall outlet will not be enough. The solution when you need more outlets is the 360 Electrical power outlets. Getting this product is the easiest and fastest way to upgrade and multiply outlets. This product can rotate each outlet and allows the plugging of oversize and chunky chords. Each of the sockets rotates 360 degrees. Another benefit is its surge protection built-in (up to 1080 joules) to protect expensive devices such as laptops, computers, and televisions. The manufacturer includes a connected equipment warranty. The power outlets also have four (4) USB-A 24 watts shared ports. The five (5) feet long power cord is braided (feels thick and heavy-duty), and that plug is at a 90-degree angle so you can back up any furniture. The rotating outlets look modern, heavy-duty, and excellent for protecting devices. To conclude, this surge protection rotating outlet is a wise investment to protect all types of electrical devices.

I am using this surge protector to power most of the devices in my home work station. It is set up on my desk behind two 27 inch monitors, so that the surge protector and plugs are out of sight.
The four outlets are nicely spaced and rotate to allow over sized or awkwardly shaped power adapters to be connected. This is an ingenious design and I wish more surge protectors would be designed like this.
This surge protector is perfect for desktop use because of the four available plugs and the four USB outlets. Having the USB outlets on the table allows them to be used with standard length USB cords. Another benefit of a desktop surge protector for me is that with my desk being on the long side, I can plug my printer to this surge protector because the printer power cable is not long enough to reach a power outlet.
The power cord is about four feet in length. It is well contracted, and uses a heavy gauge, braided design. The plug orientation is side attachment so the cord does not protrude from your power outlet. The USB ports are rated at 24W of total output. Two screw hole mounts are on the back.

This is a really good looking surge protector. I like the way it looks so much, I put it on my kitchen island. I have an area behind my seat at the kitchen table where I can plug a bunch of stuff in, but needed another spot with some counter space, so now I’m all set. This device is 13”L x 2”W x 2.5”H. The length does not curve at all, it is one solid piece that is straight. I say this because a while ago I bought my kids a similar looking device, but it would bend and curve into a circle if you wanted to.
The four individual ports do swivel if you need to twist one in order to fit a plug. There are four USB-A ports on the opposite end of the power button. There are two holes on the back if you wanted to mount this somewhere. The power cord is nice looking also, it is covered in a dark gray fabric type material. It is also about 60”L with a flat plug. I have not had any electrical situations (power outages, etc.) since I have had this, so I can’t say anything about that, but so far it works great.

This surge protector has four outlets and four USB-C ports. There is an on and off switch on the side that has the cord to plug into the wall. On the side with the on and off switch, there are two small lights. One light is for grounded and the other light is for protected. The cord is approximately five feet long and is braided and seems very durable.
The four outlets are all three prongs and can turn an entire 360 degrees. This is very handy for any large plugs you have as you can turn the outlet to get just the right space between the plugs so that all the outlets can be used. Best option I have ever had in a surge protector and makes this definitely worth buying.
The USB ports are shared for a maximum of 24 watts. Plug one USB-C in and it will use 12W. Plug a second one into the port next to it and they share 24W. Plug in a third and so forth and they will all share the total of 24 watts.
If this surge protector has to be seen, the colors will go with any décor. The main case is white and so are the plugs. There are black accents and the cord itself is gray and black.
I highly recommend this surge protector as it works so well with large and small plugs alike. Unlike other surge protectors, I found that I can actually use all of the outlets because of being able to turn the outlet to meet my needs. No need to skip an outlet to make room for other large plugs. I also like the fact that you have the USB-C ports as you do not need an adapter to plug into an outlet, so it is also a space saver.

Biggest problem with surge protectors are their ability to handle various size of plugs. Huge bricks, angled cords, and side wired bricks. Some make it up by placing a couple with wider spaces, but if you have more than the two that accommodate them you’re out of luck.
With 15A there’s plenty of juice to power most equipment. Just keep in mind not to go over the amperage or you’ll trip the breaker.
The 360 rotation is real. There doesn’t seem to be wires that connect the outlets to the strip. I did a 720 spin and it never caught. So worrying about whether you can turn left or right won’t be a concern.
The included USB ports are nice, especially if you have more streaming sticks than your TV has usb ports to power. I have three so external power supplies are always needed. With four outlets I thought I’d be limited until I realized I needed two less outlets because of the built in powered USB ports.
I do wish that they have a 6 or 8 outlet version coming out. I’d definitely have to grab a couple if they ever do.

Best Surge protector i have ever owned. So in a nutshell if you are looking for a great surge protector this is your pick. I absolutely love it. This not only has 4 multi directional outlets but it also has 4 USB ports also. So it’s an all in one power strip. So have you ever wanted to plug something in but its in an area where you have a tight fit and the power block seems to be always facing the wrong way. Well this surge protector you rotate the outlets to fit your needs. They swivel in a 360 degree circumference so you never have to worry about not being able to plug in your item were you want. Also it has a 180 joules protection for any surges that might otherwise fry your electrical items. So now i can plug my phone in and not worry about the electric company frying my phone on me. It has a 5 ft cable to plug it in and set it were ever you want. There is also a mount on the back so you can mount it on a wall or were ever its convenient for you. The USB outlets are 2 side by side to give you a total of 4 outlets . So if your like me and have several USB powered items your all set. You can rest assured this will get the job done and not worry about having your sensitive electronics get burnt up on you.

The 360 Electrical – PowerCurve24 has 4 rotating outlets and 4 USB Type A outlets. The power strip is thirteen and one quarter inches long and two and one eight inches wide. The power cord is five feet in length. The power strip has a blue and a green light. The blue light indicates the surge protector is actively protecting your devices. If the blue light is off, then the surge protector has done its job and the power strip should be replaced. The green light indicates the power strip is currently grounded. If the green light fails to illuminate the outlet is not properly grounded and you should utilize a different outlet. The four power outlets provided on the power strip rotate 360 degrees in either direction. The outlets are separated by two inches on center allowing for all outlets to be utilized, however bigger power supply square/boxed plugs will not fit side by side.
The 4 USB Type A outlets are 24-watt max. If one is used you get 12-watts, if two or more are used the 24-watts is divided among the used USB outlets.

This is a nice looking and solid surge protector. I like the style of the design, but the real star are the flexible and rotating outlets. You can fit many sized plugs next to each other by inserting the plug and the turning it out of the way. There are four standard three prong outlets. The surge protector is taller than others, but this allows it to stand upright.
There are four usb type A plugs that offer twelve watt power, depending on how many are in use. They share twenty four watts maximum so you may pull fewer watts if you are using three or four usb type A devices.
There are two led lights near the power button on the surge protector. The blue light indicates that the connected devices are protected from a surge. The green light is illuminated when the surge protector detects a ground signal. It is important that the sure protector is plugged in to a grounded out let. If the blue light goes out, the surge protector stopped the surge to protect the attached devices and will need to be replaced.
This surge protector also has connections on the bottom where you can mount it. Overall this is a really nice surge protector that works great for oversized plugs.

The 360 Electrical PowerCurve24 is awesome! This power strip appeals to me because it’s sorta geeky-looking, kinda Sci-Fi-ish, and just … really fun and different.
Beyond that, it has several useful features most standard power strips don’t have. Besides being a surge protecter, the 4 outlets rotate allowing you to plug-in larger sized “block” plugs. More and more of the electronics I’m seeing these days, come equipped with bigger power plugs. It can be a real challenge being able to make use of all the available outlets on my standard strips because of this. Not so with the PowerCurve24.
There are also 4 USB-A ports, so that you can forgo using a plug, and simply plug-in those power cords you get with your mobile phones, tablets, earbuds, etc.
This 360 Electrical PowerCurve 24 uses “Charge Sense Technology” which ‘recognizes’ the devices being charged, and adjusts the power being distributed between the ports for the fastest charge possible. Pretty cool.
The heavy-duty cord on the strip itself is covered with a woven mesh material. That screams high quality and long-lasting durability.
You can even affix the power strip to a wall, with the two screw/nail holes on the back or bottom side of the strip.
But it is the 360degree swivel outlets that set this PowerCurve24 apart. That’s what drew me. I’m even considering getting some of the other versions of this brand’s power strips to replace the basic standard ones I’ve been using around the house. Do I recommend? Most certainly do.

Many people don’t put a lot of thought into the power strips they buy/use for their electronics. They buy the first/cheapest one they see at the store. As someone who has lost electronics to surges and bad power strips, I’ve learned the hard way to appreciate quality.
The PowerCurve24 is a fantastic power strip, for several reasons. First of all, the plug that goes into the power outlet is low profile and angled, so it can be behind a piece of furniture and not have to keep the furniture far away from the wall. The angle of the cord from the plug won’t interfere with other plugs.
There are four electrical outlets, each of which can be rotated, in case anything being plugged into them is larger than normal (though normal today is large). Very often you have to use two conventional power strips to fit the various bricks formerly known as plugs, but with the rotating plugs you can make more things fit.
Also, there are four legacy USB ports, for plugging in phone chargers, power banks or anything else that uses an older USB cable.
The power cord for the power strip is 5 feet long and seems very sturdy.
As far as protection, it has an auto shutdown feature in case of power spikes and a resettable circuit breaker.

I’ve had many issues with power blocks obstructing multiple outlets on power strips due to the outlets placed too close together or placed in a box formation. However, the PowerCurve24 found a way to make all outlets useable with 360-degree rotating outlets and intelligent spacing. I tried multiple plugs, with one over 2 inches wide, and did not have any issues using all 4 provided plugs (see photo).
This power strip looks great and feels well built where the plug is placed at an angle to allow the second outlet to still be usable. There are 2 places on the back of the strip to allow for a wall mount if you prefer to have it secured. The only complaint I have about this power strip is that it does not contain any USB-C ports which the PowerCurve77 has. I personally do not need a dedicated USB-C yet since most of my USB cords are still USB-A.
Pros
Can use all outlets on power strip
1080 Jules surge protection
4 USB-A
Cons
No USB-C
This is a great power strip and would recommend it.

This has 4 outlets and 4 USB ports. The order you use the USB ports is somewhat odd. Based on the instructions, yes instructions for a power strip, you have to stagger them. I think this is more to have consistent and even power output per port.
The outlets rotate. Which is a nice option if you have elongated ore large plugs. They are spaced enough to give you room between the plugs. Unfortunately I do have a couple plugs that it will not matter how you rotate, you use two ports without a short extension.
Build wise, this is a sturdy power strip. You can feel the quality.
The drawbacks. I question the placement of the USB ports. They could easily go on the side and allow for two more plugs.
Overall, this is a nice power strip that would benefit from more outlets. If you plan to use for your computer. You burn two outlets with monitor and PC. If you have dual monitor, you just burned one more outlet. If you have anything more than a printer at your desk, I hope the rest are USB powered.

The Powercurve24 is an interesting power strip that solves the most common problems with todays electronics…massive power supplies! One of the most frustrating things about electronics today is that realizing you can only plug 2 or 3 items in a power strip and blocking outlets next to it. Powercurve 24 solves this by allowing the outlets to rotate 360 degrees and is also generously spaced outlets allow those bulky power bricks to be plugged in and still use neighboring outlets. Also a lot of today’s devices really only need a lower powered USB port to charge such as headphones. No need to occupy an outlet to charge them because this thing comes with 4 USB power supplying ports. For being a bit larger than your normal power strip, they attractively designed the rounded edges and corners to not be an offending sight if you had it on a table. In addition, they included a right angle low profile connect to the wall allowing you to flush furniture as close to the wall as possible. And perhaps the most impressive thing is the fact that they stand behind their products. Looking at the warranty pamphlet that comes with the power supply, you see that they have a process to submit a claim if you suffered damage from using their power strip. That in itself is assuring and will help you sleep much better than using cheap power strips that have absolutely no warranty.

This is a very nicely made power strip. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but it’s serving my needs well.
I had thought that this was one of those flexible power strips that “curve” into different shapes to fit in awkward spaces. This isn’t the case though. While the individual outlets can rotate to better accommodate larger plugs, the strip itself is a single, rigid piece.
The strip is very nicely made and quite sturdy. The cable that connects to the wall is quite thick and covered in a durable, braided material. It has 4 USB charging ports, and it comes with an instruction sheet that references how to get the maximum voltage out of them. They share a circuit, so plugging in multiple devices at once could potentially reduce their shared ability to charge.
The ability to rotate the outlets has come in handy as I have a couple devices with long, rectangular plugs. Being able to rotate the outlets allows me to plug these devices in at a 90 degree angle to maximize the use of space.
The power button sits on top of the power strip. This is convenient, and easy to access, but I do worry a little about accidentally pressing it with my foot as it sits under my desk.
This is a nice, aesthetically pleasing power strip. I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a power strip that can accommodate a wide range of plug types.

The PowerCurve24 Surge Protector has a stylish design, not the typical power bar look. But it is a real surge suppressor with 1080 Joules of surge suppression, 4 rotating power outlets and 4 USB-A charging outlets. The power outlets can be rotated to accommodate oversize or odd shaped plugs. Just plug in and gently twist until the outlet is at the desired angle.
This surge suppressing power strip provides a maximum of 24 watts of USB output. The USB ports share the 24 watts. A single port can provide 12 watts, two ports 12 watts each. But adding a third or fourth distributes the power for a total of 24 watts spread across all the ports. The on/off switch is conveniently located on top. It also has EMI/RFI filtration for noise-free power and a built-in circuit breaker. The PowerCurve24 has handy indicator lights. A blue LED glows to show the surge suppressor is in protect mode and a green LED shows the outlet is grounded. One thing I wish the documentation was clear on is whether the circuit breaker is resettable. It does say that if the blue light goes out, the “PowerCurve24 has absorbed a surge and sacrificed itself to save your electronics.” So, it seems there is no reset. But since mine is working and the blue light is on, I’m not 100% sure.
One additional thing I really like about the PowerCurve24 is the power cord design. It has a 45-degree angled power cord. So, when it is plugged into the wall it doesn’t stick out or block the outlet below, making it less likely to become unplugged accidentally as well as having a cleaner look.
I really like the PowerCurve24 Surge Protector. I wish it also had a fast-charging USB-C port. (Note that 360-Electrical does make a surge protector that has a 65 Watt USB-C port, but the PowerCurve24 does not.) But overall, it meets my needs and looks nice.

The PowerCurve24 by 360 Electrical is a 1080 Joules surge protector with 4-power outlet and 4-USB port power solution. All the power outlets can rotate 360 degrees allowing for multiple bulky adapters to fit within a confined space. The sleek design makes it a good fit for on top of a modern desk.
Pros:
– Swivel power outlets allow for multiple adapters to be plugged in.
– Built in US ports are convenient for charging devices.
– 1080 Joules surge protection
Cons:
– Only 4 power plugs.
– USB charging share 24W across the 4 ports, which slows charging when all 4 are in use.
– Only 1080 Joules, limits use with more sensitive devices.
The PowerCurve24 surge protector is rated for 1080 Joules, which makes this good for small electronics such modems or routers, which usually have bulky adapters. I would look for a higher rated surge protector, above 2000 Joules, for more expensive equipment such as desktop PCs, entertainment systems, or gaming consoles. The wall plug is angled which helps fit even on the top outlet with the bottom filled by another plug. The outlets are arranged with enough space for bulky adapters, but with only 4 outlets this quickly fills up. The design makes it a good desktop or workspace charger, as it matches with a more modern and cleaner vibe. But I personally look for more plugs and higher surge rating for sensitive electronics, as having a higher than needed surge rating will always be better than not having high enough.
The 4 USB ports are the best design I have seen for built in USB power ports, the ports can identify the maximum charge rate of your device and provide adequate charging based on each device. The issue is, when you plug multiple devices in such as recent phones, the wattage is split across the devices which slows down the charge rate of all devices. This makes the smart charging kind of redundant, since most modern devices use 20W or more to quick charge. Another downside is that there are only USB A ports, the newer standard of USB C is not supported.
Although this is a neat idea, the rotating power outlets are convenient in some cases, the overall design is not as practical as other models. With only 4 power outlets, this fills up fast and the shared wattage across the 4 USB ports slows down charging to quick charge devices. It would be faster to just use a separate charger. Overall, I don’t dislike the PowerCurve24, but it won’t be on the top of my recommendations for surge protectors to use due to the rated surge protection and low outlet count.
CoppinFam –
In the box is the power curve surge protector plug, a users guide and a technical details, warnings and warranty booklet.
First impression – I really like this surge protector. I like the height and the position of the plugs. The 5 foot cord allows me to put wherever I need and hide properly and still have cord left over if I need to switch locations. There are holes on the back so that you can mount to a desk or the wall. The wall plug is also flat so when you plug in, you don’t have to worry about leaving extra room for the bulky plug, you can move your furniture back to normal position.
I love the blue and green lights that show that the surge protector is on and protecting (blue) and grounded (green). Each plug is turnable, so you can plug in those bulky plugs for the computer/laptop, the vacuum, the blow dryer or any electronic and click the plug to the position so that they all fit properly. I love that I am able to use each plug and not have to worry about rearranging or moving for the plugs to fit.
Now for the USB-A plugs, this is not a deal breaker BUT I really wish that these were USB-C plugs instead. I have almost completely updated all of my plugs for phone, tablet, watch – my everyday stuff to USB-C and it would have been great to take advantage of this particular section with my newer plugs instead of digging out my old plugs. The USB-A section also has 24W shared, when you use more than two ports or more. If you use one port then it will be 12W.
Overall, I would see myself purchasing more of these but only if the ports are changed to USB-C but I would still recommend to friends and family because I know a lot of people that still use the USB-A plugs that would benefit from this type of plug.

How much can you say about a power strip you ask?
Continuing my tech dorkiness, I’m always looking for products that creatively solve real-world challenges. That means for me, cool is important, but true function matters. I have some “dumb” electrical strips (without electronics) and a very smart one, as well as a simple strip with rotating outlets. The 360 Electrical Power Curve24 is a smart strip with rotating outlets. Good start.
The PowerCurve24 is a unique, attractive device that can sit on your floor or be mounted to the underside/backside of furniture or on your wall. It has a nice five-foot nylon wrapped power cord with a 45-degree offset plug that shouldn’t block other wall outlets. It provides “advanced” surge protection and uses proprietary “Charge Sense” technology that distributes power appropriately to each of the 4 USB-A power power ports (but why not throw in a USB-C in this day and age?). Those ports output a TOTAL of 24Watts., with a single port capable of outputting a max of 12 Watts, or the Charge Sense goes into effect when using more than one port. Additionally, there are four 360-degree rotating outlets-grounded of course. A pair of LEDs adjacent to the power button indicate if devices are protected from a surge and if the wall outlet you’re using is grounded. One curious statement from the manufacturer is if the blue “Protected” light goes out, the PowerCurve24 has “sacrificed itself to save your electronics.” I don’t know if that means it’s toast or can be reset.
I found the shape of the strip to be unique, and it seams the intent was for it to be “slimmer” than a rectangular shape. Seems more aesthetic, but it does no harm. More disconcerting was the height, which seems to make the strip somewhat unstable if not anchored. It just keeps tipping over. That will matter if you want to enjoy the looks or need it to be on a countertop. Depends on your use case.
Now, the real feature after knowing your devices are safe. The rotating outlets. Insert the plug of your external devices fully and turn any direction. There’s a nice click feel, yet nearly infinite orientations available. I was able to insert 3 very different shaped and sized plugs adjacent to each other. Something that is rarely possible with the other strips I use. Mission accomplished!

This power cord / surge protector checks all the boxes for what most other devices are missing. First of all, it looks great is and not something you care is visible. The 5′ cord is just the right length for most applications without too much extra to manage. The plug is angled so you can plug-in without blocking a second plug. The four plugs are great in that thy swivel so you can plug all different sizes of plugs without blocking the adjacent plug. The four USB-A plugs are an added bonus in not having to use additional plugs for an adapter. A next feature is the ability to balance the power based upon the number of devices that are connected. This keeps it from getting overloaded and causing a heat issue. The power button is easy to get to and the cool blue light confirms that surge protection is working. I connected devices to all of the connections and they worked flawlessly. If you connect devices into more than one of the USB slots it will slow the charging down slightly with the distributed power function.
MurphyR –
This is a very bulky, but premium seeming surge protector. It is about twice as thick as any other surge protector that I’ve used in the past, but it is well sculpted and functions well with the rotating plugs.
My Use Case:
I’m using this as a surge protector for my sit-stand desk set-up, and I find that to be an ideal use for it. My set-up is with a docking station and two monitors. Each of these devices tend to have plugs of different sizes and coming off in different directions. This power strip allows for each of these to be turned in the same direction, which is very useful in keeping the cables neat in the little cage under the desk.
It is also the perfect length of cable in itself (about 6′) to allow for the desk to go up and down without any issue of the power-cable getting too stretched.
A nice little bonus is the USB plugs. While you’re not going to fast-charge any phones or tablets with these (which is why I’m giving 4 stars), it’s nice to have the plugs there to charge a few devices while working at my desk without needing to have a separate USB hub plugged in. This has the added bonus of making sure my desk light always has power – it is a USB plug light and having it plugged in to the docking station meant that it would lose power every time that the computer is disconnected, like when I switch from my work laptop to my personal laptop.

Did you ever have that problem of not being able to utilize all the outlets on your power strip due to large plugs that disabled the use of the adjacent outlet because the plug occupied the space? I did most of the time and the PowerCurve24 has solved this annoying problem! It always annoys me whenever I need an outlet to plug in my devices and find that my power strip no longer has space even though not all outlets have been utilized that I had to unplug one in order to plug another electronic device. With the 4 rotating outlets, I am able to use all 4 of them! And with the addition of 4 USB makes it very convenient to plug in electronic devices that uses USB-A. I have not observed the surge protection feature since we have not gotten any power interruptions. For sure it will come in handy and will be appreciated in the event of a surge. The on and off switch is a standard feature that I look for whenever I buy power strips because I want to be able to turn it off whenever we go away on vacation and need to shutdown my devices for long period of time. For the price, the PowerCurve24 surge protector is a total winner in my opinion and highly recommended.

There usually is not much to say about a power strip with a surge suppressor, they are pretty much the same old same old. Does the 360 Electrical PowerCurve24 change that? In a word, no – but it does have some unique design features that make stand out. The standout unique feature is the rotating outlets that the 360 Electrical brand is famous for. Each of the four outlets rotates with a positive “ratcheting” feel that locks the outlet into place. The mechanism works well and far better than some of the competition and gives you the flexibility of moving bulky transformer power cord heads out of the way. The Powercurve24 offers 4 USB outlets for a total of 24V charging. The max output of 1 USB outlet is limited to 12 watts; far too low for today’s fast charging phones. My phone’s wireless charging is 15 watts, and my wired charger is 45 watts. I know 360 Electrical was trying to keep the price down since this is their entry level strip but I think the next model up (the PowerCurve77) would be better for most people if they were looking for a strip that can be used for fast charging. It is over twice the price so may prefer the PowerCurve24 and just use the charger that came with their phone or tablet. The 1080 joule rating is not very high so I would not use this for any type of expensive computers or electronics. Most of the surge suppressor I own are well over 2000 joules with several topping out over 5000 joules. Many manufacturers play with the meaning of joule rating so you should not take the joule rating to be the end all. Most professionals will recommend a well-built surge suppressor with 2000 joule and over for the more sensitive electronic equipment. Hover, I do not think that 360 Electrical is trying to target a power strip for high end equipment (even though they give “$100,000” in protection.) The entire PowerCurve series is designed to provide an ergonomic alternative for power strips in an attractive package. It is also includes “Charge Sense” that is supposed to “intelligently distribute power between ports while charging “ and “EMI/RFI Power Filtration that provides clean, noise-free power for connected video and audio devices.” I will have to take their word for it; I would have to break out the oscilloscope and meters to truly test that. In terms of build quality, the body is above average but a bit lighter than I would expect ( not usually a good sign for power strips.) The cord is very heavy duty and the plug is a slim line designed to take up minimal space.
So, after a relatively favorable review, would I buy PowerCurve24? Probably not but not for any reason you would first think of. I do like the design a lot, but I would spend the extra money on the model above it. Not everyone would want to spend nearly twice as much so this is a matter of preference. Regardless, I would still recommend the PowerCurve24 for most users.

It’s really pretty good but maybe a bit pricey now. If they put it on sale it could get more stars. I’ve had a lot of power strips/surge protectors/ac filters over the years, some much more expensive and several somewhat less expensive so I guess it’s kind of in the middle area. None of my others had usb ports on them though so I guess that’s a plus. It is pretty convenient to have 4 usb ports and not have to use adapters for them. I just wish they would have included a couple more regular ac outlets since it only has four of them as well so it seems somewhat like a compromise rather than a bonus.
The rotating outlets are a nice feature since they allow you to position your other adapters for convenience but still not a lot of space between them so your bulky adapters may or may not fit like you would expect them to. You could put one on the end but it may cover a couple of the usb adapters which are actually on the end of the strip. They should have put the usb adapters on the side or somewhere that they wouldn’t get blocked.
Kind of flashy looking so if you want a stylish power strip you might like it. I personally prefer function over looks when it comes to power strips especially since they always have a bunch of wires sticking out of them. I think I prefer a rack mount style with the outlets on the back so the cables don’t show so much.
Well I think I may have talked myself out of liking this much. It does supposedly have power filtration which is helpful for some uses like audio and maybe video but if you’re using it for that I would get something better. Also claims a $10,000 equipment warranty but good luck collecting on that. “Limited” lifetime warranty as well but if they’re not around in a few years what then?
If you can get it cheap on sale it may be a good deal. At full price though there are better options out there.

The SPA 360 Brand Surge Protector works well as a power strip with multi-functionality and surge protection. However, this review is only going to give 4 stars because I cannot positively say that it works in its most important capacity: as a power surge protector. Having not experienced such a surge, I can only say that the strip indicates it is in protection mode and that it is working as expected.
That said, there are a number of things to like about this unit.
*Four full outlets which rotate. You can plug in multiple important devices in this strip. I am currently using it for laptops, monitors, and a shredder. I like having the extra feeling of security that this protector provides and being able to use it for my key electronics.
*Four USB A connections. These have provided rapid charge when they are being used. I have another regular power strip with USB functionality, but it does not provide this rapid charge capability. It has a 24 watt charging capability for USB, which it will also distribute over the connections. So, multi devices should get the appropriate wattage for charging with the “charge sense” capability that this protector has. Supposedly it can sense your device’s needs and send wattage accordingly across the USB connectors, which is good if you are charging a variety of devices with different kinds of cords or connections. It provides very rapid charge for my phone and my watch, even if both devices are plugged in at the same time.
* A 5ft tough, woven cord that plugs into the wall. This allows me to have the protector under my desk, which is ideal for my setup. Other protectors go directly into the wall. That’s a good setup for a tv or media center, but for my office needs, I have to access the protector as I often need to pick up a laptop and cord and take it elsewhere. It’s much more convenient to have the cord for this purpose and not have to crawl around under my desk to reach the wall plug.
*1080 joules of protection against surges. This is probably the lowest level one would want, but it should be enough protection in a pinch. Truly, 2000 joules would be better for any really high priced electronics, but this is a good step and certainly adequate for any smaller devices. I may be toeing the line using it for my computer–but you can decide for yourself what level of protection to buy. There are two lights on the unit, one indicated the unit is grounded and one that protection is on. So, it should be clear if the unit ever ands up absorbing a surge and is no longer able to offer protection. This is a standard feature in a surge protector, but it’s always nice to know that it is working.
A couple things to note:
The outlets rotate, but I’m not sure how useful this really is. It can help with cord control, but it’s not a hugely helpful feature. It’s better to have it than not.
I could not get one of my USB A style devices to charge with this unit. My Bluetooth earbud charging case has a flat USB A connection and it does not work with this unit. I don’t know why, but it doesn’t. Every other USB A charging connection I’ve used with this charging case works. I don’t know why this one doesn’t. As this is not a very common type of USB A connection, and unlikely the main unit anyone would use with this surge protector, it’s not a deal breaker by any means, but it is something I noted.
Overall, this is a reasonably priced unit with good build quality that affords some peace of mind. We have frequent electrical storms and I feel a little better protecting my equipment. Hopefully this will be up to the task if we ever get a surge.

My area is prone to thunderstorms and occasional power outages so in an effort to protect my computer and tv, I got a big beefy power strip. Once I had an old tube tv blow due to a power surge so, I tend to be a bit more paranoid.
What I really like about this is the ability to rotate the plugs. I never realized how handy this was until I had it. I was also able to make a Charging Station with the USB ports so no more scattering around the house with phones, camera, watch, and tablet!
My only problem is that it is so big. To counter that it can easily be mounted in place on the side of my desk allowing easy access and keeping it out of the way.
I’ve had this in for about a week and while we have had thunderstorms almost every day, we have not had any type of outage so I can’t say anything to it’s purpose but I do feel more at ease with it protecting my important data and my expensive TV.
I highly recommend this for any home or office. As a peace of mind item it is priceless!

When I received my 360 Electrical – PowerCurve24, 4 Rotating Outlets/4 USB-A 1080 Joules Surge Protector, I was first struck by how high it is. The next thing was how small the outlets looked and I wondered if some of my electrical items could be grouped together regardless how big the chargers are. The third was that it is aesthetically pleasing. So I got started on finding out if I could actually use it where I intended. While the outlets look small, probably because the white of the outlet is what draws the eye, there was plenty of room to be able to use all the chargers needed. In fact, because of the four USB ports, one of the items is no longer necessary which frees up an outlet. However, it is too high for me to use it where I wanted it. You see, my desk has a platform on which sits my monitor and I wanted to put the PowerCurve there. While the PowerCurve fits, it does not fit if something is plugged in. However, I did discover that the PowerCurve has the ability to be hung and I was able to attach it to the side of that platform which actually works better as the USB ports are closer and easier to change out as needed.
The reason for the 4 star rating is the length of the power cord. It is only 4 feet. As the instructions are specific about it needing to be in a grounded main line, this will limit someone’s ability to place it. While the cord is just long enough, the reason I can use it is because it is in a corner where I don’t have to worry about the cord stretching from the desk to the outlet. It does come with good information on how to use it including how to know if it has protected your electronics from a surge, something my other surge protectors don’t do. Overall, I recommend the 360 Electrical – PowerCurve24, 4 Rotating Outlets/4 USB-A 1080 Joules Surge Protector with the proviso that the buyer be aware of the cord length.

This has been a game changer. With all the different electronics in our home along with all the different size power cords and chargers…it’s honestly been a struggle at times. Unplugging one thing to make another fit because of the plug orientation or size…with this surge protector those issues have been solved. With the PowerCurve24, we don’t have to keep unplugging things just to plug in a different electronic, due to the size or orientation of the wall plug. We first used in the kitchen – most of those plugs are all standard and it worked great. We moved it to the living room – which is where we really saw the value – all the different A/C wall plugs for the router, modems, security cameras, steam mops, etc etc etc…we stopped having to unplug one to use another. The biggest one was the vacuum charger. It’s had a large wall plug which took up 2 spots on a normal surge protector.
We also really liked the braided cord. It was easier to maneuver as well it just looked better. It wasn’t just a dull black cord. The cord is about 5 feet long so you have plenty of space. The surge protector is also wall mountable. Also felt the outlets were snug and help the plugs well.
Overall, this is a good surge protector. The rotating outlets allow for a better accommodation for different size power cords that reduces the need to swap things in and out.

Perfect for streamline use. A bit pricey though as most are 1/2 the cost
