If your desk looks anything like ours, plugging and unplugging things can be a bit of a hassle. You have to move the chair, climb underneath the desk, find the plug and then get back out afterward. That’s a lot of bending over that could be avoided, if only the plug was easier to reach. Good news: it can be! This desk-mounted outlet relocates your plug thanks to an extension cord and an easy-to-use attachment system. It’s also down to just $12 for Amazon Prime members if you use the on-page coupon.

Why is this a good deal?

While this gadget offers a ton of convenience, the deal is great for another reason: at nearly 60% off, it’s the lowest price this power strip has ever been when you combine the Prime discount with the on-page coupon.

Why do I need this?

Repeat after me: no more bending over. No one likes climbing under a desk, and this gadget makes it so you only need to do it one more time — and that’s when you set it up! It provides enough power to supply every outlet simultaneously, with smart power features that provide only the juice the plugged-in device needs. The cord is also six feet long, which should be more than enough to reach the wall outlet (although there is a 10-foot option, too.)

With three standard ports and two USB ports, you can charge your laptop, phone, and other devices all at once (or in some cases case, a mug warmer). It’s also made of fireproof material and comes with all the proper certifications so that you don’t have to worry about setting your desk on fire.

Ultimately, it’s worth it for the convenience alone, especially if you have a more mobile setup where you need to dock or undock a laptop during the day.

What reviewers say

“I never thought I could really love a power strip, but I love this one. Solidly made, clamps firmly onto the desk without wobbling and you can definitely put plugs in and out with one hand. It’s compact and so useful to have a few additional outlets and USB ports at desktop height — great purchase,” one shopper said.

Another shared, “This is a great addition to my desk where I place my mobile devices and headphones I need to charge and not take up component USB or power slots.”

“Digging for a power plug on the floor is always a nuisance. This strip brings it up to eye level and give you three 110V outlets and two USB 2.0 charging plugs. It’s so nice being able to quickly charge any sort of device, without having to dig for a USB charger, and the USB outlet even charges my 2020 MacBook Air M1 and my iPad Pro,” said another user. “To remove further clutter I stuck a cable management strip onto it. I’ve had it for about 6 months now and it works great.”

“So much more attractive than the white surge protector we had hanging out of the wall. And much more convenient to access from the top of the desk. It is black, matching the desk, and definitely a must have for people who hook up various devices to the same plug regularly and have to rotate use of plugs. The apparatus that holds it in place is very sturdy. The only downside is you have to put your desk a few inches away from the wall to accommodate the screw tightener. Not a big deal, all things considered,” wrote one user.

This easily clamps onto the back of your desk and provides three AC outlets and two USB ports. Say adios to bending over!
