Tech Product Review

In 1972, the first power strip was invented by an Australian electrical engineer.  Since then, the technology has evolved, yet surprisingly the design has remained as a rectangular strip with outlets. Check out a cool new product on the market called the PowerCube.

It has redesigned the tired powerstrip and compressed it into a single block, while adding a few nice additions like USB outlets. They have four designs to choose from, each a different color. The basic and original design is the green model, which plugs directly into your wall and has five AC outlets. The next version is the Blue Model, which is the same concept but it replaces one of the outlets with 2 USB ports. With these you can charge your phone, tablet, or camera. The third version is the red model, which is similar to the green but with an extension cord and a wall mount. The final version is the gray model which includes a five foot extension cord, USB ports, and a wall mount. If you want, you can even plug them into one another to create a massive power strip with tons of plugs.

The PowerCube is a very unique and cool rework of the traditional power strip.  The prices range from $12.95 to $24.95 and can be purchased at www.powercube-usa.com.
