There was a time long, long ago when houses were not just a large charging station for gadgets and devices. There was probably an earlier time still when people would pull up a chair just to admire the socket in the room. Before that, there were candles.
We don't have to use candles by necessity, but our 80s-era house has not really moved to stay with the times. We need sockets and USB.
We're using this in our kitchen, where it charges up tiny "appliances" like piezo lighters, batteries of all sorts over USB, and where we can now run a range of larger appliances together. There are never enough sockets.
This has been a useful addition for the USB alone. If you're following a recipe on an iPad or other device you can charge it as it goes, something that until now we needed to have running in a less convenient place.
It is surviving just fine in the kitchen, which can sometimes be a hostile environment for electronic things if the atmosphere gets a bit tropical. It's useful, seems very durable, and gives us all the power access we need. Short of pulling off the kitchen tiles and running power around for more sockets, this is a decent solution.
