Cord chaos? This genius surge protector has 6 pivoting outlets — and it's down to $14

Patrick Hearn
·2-min read

Do you have an appliance with a cord that just always seems to get in the way? Too many are built with older outlets in mind, instead of having sideways plugs that run along the wall and save space. Thankfully, there's a solution: a six-in-one pivoting outlet system. This handy device is both a surge protector and multi-outlet in one, and right now, it's just $14 — 30% off its normal price.

Cable management is important. A rat's nest of wires on your wall just doesn't look good, and it can be hard to maneuver ones that are thick and bulky. This outlet makes it easy to adjust them to the front or to the side, and it solves the issue of a brick-sized plug blocking outlet access to adjacent plugs (looking at you, every Google smart-home device ever).

On top of those features, the EchoGear also filters out "dirty" power. Not sure what that means? Basically, it boils down to high-demand appliances in your home — like a washer and dryer or a blender — creating a surge throughout your home's power network that can interfere with sensitive electronics. This gadget prevents that surge from reaching anything plugged into it. In fact, the company is so secure in its ability to perform up to spec that the device includes a $25,000 equipment warranty for any connected devices.

One customer raved about its space-saving features. "This is the fifth one of these I have purchased. The unit is versatile, and that is its key feature. The ability to rotate each of the six outlets helps both with shorter cords and in keeping things closer to the wall, without plugs and cords intruding deeply into room space. The fact that it also serves as a surge protector is an added bonus. Although it covers the entire outlet on a standard electrical outlet, it makes it up by providing six outlets. But again, its flexibility is the key."

Another customer sung the praises of the surge protector. "The rotating feature of this product is what I like most. Helps ensure that all of my computer components are surge-protected and that they all fit perfectly. You are also able to remove the wall plate and screw this into the outlet, which is also a plus."

  • Injured seal left whimpering after getting stranded on harbour for more than 24 hours

    An injured seal was left whimpering after it became stranded on the cobblestones of a harbour for more than 24 hours. Heartbreaking video shows fisherman Kit Gallagher approaching the poor creature 'crying for help' after the tide brought it to shore. Kit, 50, found the young seal when he was checking on his boat in the harbour at Bridlington, Yorks., and notified a nearby Sea Life Centre upon discovery. He returned to the scene the next day to find the vulnerable animal still hadn't moved from the cobblestones and was still in distress. Kit said: "I came to the harbour to check on my boat and was told by a friend that a seal was on the south slope and it didn't look very well and that he thought it had a poor flipper. "I phoned Scarborough Sea Life and told them where it was. "I came back at 8am the next morning and found it still there and made an update video as I had thousands of people asking for an update. "I was told a call had already been made to the Sea Life Centre, so I went home and came to check a few hours later. "When I came back the seal was gone and I was told that the seal rescue had been with it all afternoon. "I was told by someone on the harbour that they had taken it, I think the seal arrived that morning as the tide was coming up." British Divers Marine Life Rescue were called out to the scene but the seal had gone by the time they arrived. A spokesperson for the charity said: "We didn't pick up this seal in but we did pick up another one that we kept overnight and then released the next day." It is a busy time of year for seals up and down the east coast as they regularly rest on beaches and in harbours. The charity added: "If you find a seal on a beach, watch it from a distance. Do not approach the animal. "Seals regularly haul out on our coasts - it is part of their normal behaviour and, in fact, they spend more time out of the water, digesting their food and resting than in it. "Therefore, finding a seal on the beach does not mean there is necessarily a problem and do not chase it into the sea as this may stop it from doing what it needs to do - rest. "A healthy seal should be left alone." They concluded that this seal would have returned to the water itself. The footage was filmed on March 17.
