Reddit reviews GoGreen Power GG-13002MS 3 Outlet Power Strip

It'd be nice with the growing number of courses that require a computer, especially with the spread of online only HW and textbooks.



Until they add more, you could keep something like one of these in your backpack and ask someone to share an outlet.

We actually have miniature 3 plug power strips in our inventory specifically for this purpose.

Like this one:

I'd look for one that has UL markings (UL Listed or UL Certified) because they've been tested by Underwriters Laboratory for safety.

See here for an example:

You can even sort by UL Listed cords at some websites like Amazon or HomeDepot.

This one is cheap but is still UL Listed.

Just one example...you could find plenty others.

Frankly though, it has less to do with the power strip/extension cord and more how it's used. They have to be allowed to dissipate heat which many people don't think about. You should never leave a cord coiled or wrapped up tightly and you definitely shouldn't cover it with anything. Let's just say you leave one coiled up and throw dirty laundry over it...the heat running through the cord has nowhere to go so the laundry will heat up and can ignite if it reaches the right temperature. I've seen it plenty of times unfortunately.

I just mean a basic one like this:

That's what I've brought in the past.

But I'm glad you shared you're experience. I'll definitely be more cautious about that in the future.

How about one of these?
