2-for-Tuesday: Hype Swivel Surge Protectors with Two USB Ports
Our Take
- Two surge protectors with little swivel heads that let you plug into them from any angle (within reason)- Includes two USB ports (as everything now should) one at 2.4 amps, the other at 1 amp- Some features that mean nothing to us but might to you: A continuous duty electrical rating of 13A, 120VAC, 60HZ, 1800W and a surge energy joule rating of 540J- Model: HV-6SWS-WHT (Did Will Shortz edit this model number, cuz it’s a real puzzle. The first “H” presumably stands for “Hype,” but the “V”? Then “6” likely represents the number of total outlets, and “SW” stands for “Swivel,” although only 4 of the outlets actually swivel. “WHT” stands for “White” but why did it get so many more letters for its abbreviation than the others? We’re stumped)
Get Hyped
Our name may be “Meh” but these swivel power strips are called “Hype” so we’re setting aside our usual Daria-like indifference.
