What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are contradictory or unconfirmed: the title claims 12 AC, three USB-A, and two USB-C ports and a 6.5-foot cord, while feature text calls it 12 AC plus five USB ports and describes a 10-foot cord in one place and a 6.5-foot cord in another. It also calls the unit both 18-in-1 and 17 total outlets, and claims four independent switches without a matching technical detail. Confirm the selected listing’s port types, cord length, total device count, and switch layout before buying. The overload-protection and safety language is a manufacturer claim, not an independently established guarantee.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Desk, home-office, or dorm setups that need a tower-style outlet arrangement and several AC and USB connections.
- Buyers who value separately switched sections for managing connected devices.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed cord length, USB-A/USB-C breakdown, or verified electrical protection specification before purchase.

Customer feedback highlights perceived quality, functionality, versatility, and convenience, including reported use in dorms, offices, and homes with few outlets. Some customers also value the number of connections and space-saving tower layout. Those impressions align with the listed 12 AC outlets and five USB ports, but do not resolve the listing’s conflicting port breakdown and cord-length claims. Aggregate ratings are broadly favorable, though ratings alone cannot establish specific performance or protection.
Positive themes
- Customers report that the tower is convenient and space-saving on a desk.
- Feedback describes use in offices, dorm rooms, and homes with limited outlets.
- Customers mention accommodating multiple devices and differently sized plugs.
Frequently asked questions
How many outlets and USB ports does the SMALLRT ZYC09 list?
The technical details list 17 total outlets, including 12 AC outlets and five USB ports. The title instead specifies three USB-A and two USB-C ports, while feature text describes an 18-in-1 device. Verify the exact configuration in the selected listing.
How long is the extension cord?
The title and one feature claim say 6.5 feet, but another feature sentence says 10 feet. The cord length is therefore unclear from the supplied listing information.
Does it have individual switches?
The feature text claims four independent on/off switches for separate sections. The technical details do not confirm their arrangement.
Is overload protection included?
The listing claims overload protection and automatic power cut-off, but the supplied details do not provide supporting electrical ratings or independent verification.
