[Elect] CT: NOMA 6 Outlets + 2 USB SURGE PROTECTOR, 1500J - 6Ft - Reg:$39.99-65% OFF - $13.99

[greatwiseone2]

I bought a couple of these the last time they were on sale. They are pretty good and the usb charging slots are very convenient.

Does any one know how many amps the USB charging ports supply?

Dude. You're the OP. The brand should have been in the title.

Guys, before you guys bash, at least do a little research or check it out. The brand of the power bar is NOMA which is made by Wirelinks. Not sure if they are good or not.

If you want it from Dealextreme or monoprice, you're seriously buying no name and the quality reflects that. NOMA does offer a 1 year warranty. Canadian Tire sells 80%-90% NOMA products in their extension cord and power bar aisle if anybody bothered to look before posting. The other 10-20% are even worse brands than NOMA.

To ijustgotadeal, what are those links suppose to present? All I see is a power washer that you've probably never done any research about. If you want to bash CT about selling crappy merch, you can see that almost every retailer will sell crappy stuff so I don't see the point you're trying to make.

This thread is full of speculation who have zero evidence of calling it a crappy power bar where they have a. no idea what they are talking about because they don't even know the brand of it, and b. no first hand experience using it. Kids these days...

I also purchased this surge protector from CT over a year ago on sale but a bit cheaper then.
In white & "Noma" branded with the exact same code 052-2460-8 on box.
Works OK

The usb slots are very fitted so that standard usb cables with metal male endings will fit;
I have some ipod cables without usb metal male fittings
& any extra width on plastic housing with the usb connectors then it will not fit into slots.
The usb charging light seems to flicker a bit when charging my ipod.

No hate, but people seriously buy no name surge protectors from Canadian Tire of all places? BRB buying airbags for my car from Dollarama

Gotta keep something in mind, most people don't use these things with protection from power surges in mind, they really just use them to plug in more things. Sure maybe someone told them it's good for your computer, but they are not gonna go looking at brands, stats, and spend like $50 on one when the local stores has some for $15.

For those talking about fire risk, are you really worried about that? I have personally never seen a power bar, surge protector, or anything like this ever come anywhere close to causing a fire. I've seen some that stopped working, and that's it. Remember, millions of households have such cheap crappy surge protectors in their homes, whether it's from CT, Walmart, anywhere. As I said above, average person probably goes to such stores and buys the cheapest one that has the number of outlets they need.

Personally, while I might not trust a cheap NOMA product to offer great protection for my devices, I have no fear of it burning the house down. Oh, I should mention though that I live in Windsor and houses average probably under $200k here rather than the $500k someone else eluded to, so maybe that's why I don't care .

Price is not reflected online so check your nearby stores! Remember, there are two USB ports so I think this is the right selling point at $13.99 for a decent bar to charge your cell phone, MP3 player, etc. without using an outlet.

This would be an excellent match for the Raspberry Pi with XBMC.

It says you do but you actually don't need to cut it out. It rings at $13.99 at the cash.

There is no documentation on the output of the USB ports however, I bought the power bar in the hopes that it would charge my iPhone 4s and iPad 2. It does not.
