Wall Mounted Surge Protectors – 10 Best Brands Reviewed

I used to hate the sight of my work desk.

Before I started using wall-mounted surge protectors, my workspace was always filled to the brim with electronic gadgets, a 34-inch monitor, two laptops, speakers, and many others.

And of course, a jungle of wires I had to sort through before unplugging the power cord is a constant pain I have every single day.

Those were the days I never want to revisit, ever again.

Ever since I started mounting my surge protection power strip on the wall and using a couple of wall tap surge protection devices, I have never had messy piles of power cords on my desk again.

All my power cords are now neatly connected to their respective outlets and unplugging them is hassle-free.

Mounting them on the wall has helped me reclaim lots of real estate on my work desk.

If you are like me who has a desk filled with messy power cords and USB cables, it is probably time to declutter your desk and give it a fresh new look. 🙂

Below is a list of the wall-mounted surge protectors I have individually reviewed and if you do not have the patience to read through, do check out the one I recommended below.

Bestek 7 Outlets Wall Mounted Surge Protector Review

Whether you’re at home, in the office, or creating an entertainment hub, the GG143 delivers the confidence of uninterrupted power, seamlessly merging reliability and aesthetics in a single unit.

If there is only one thing worth mentioning about this 7-outlet surge protector from Bestek, it has to be the 2 rotating outlets, which are both conveniently located by each side of the device.

Having a phone holder at the top of the device is particularly convenient, especially if you’re using it in a location where leaving your phone on the table or floor is not an option.

The rest of the features are pretty standard across the surge protectors and with only 900 joules to spare, it is definitely a cause for concern for people who intend to use it for bigger electrical appliances.

The 3 USB-A surge protection ports are not the fastest, but they would suffice for people who only need it for daily charging up of USB gadgets at the end of the day.

At its current price point, this wall-mount surge protector, which comes with an 18-month warranty, may not be a worthwhile purchase for individuals who have no intended use for the two pivoting surge protection outlets that come with it.

 Pros 

• 7 Swivel Outlets
• Rotating Sockets for large devices
• 900 Joule Ratings
• Doubles as phone holder on the top

Huntkey SMD607’s sleek and aesthetically pleasing grey exterior makes me want to get one while I was reviewing it, especially the cradle ledge that acts as a holder for cellphones.

Besides having common features like USB-A charging ports with Smart IC technology and LED status indicators, this 900 joule wall mount surge protector is remarkably lightweight, weighing only 280 grams.

The housing of this 6-outlet surge protector is made of flame-retardant material and is suitable for protecting small kitchen appliances, computer gadgets, and standard household electronics.

And since it is so lightweight, it is highly portable for use at various locations, both at home and in the office.

And just like anything else in life, nothing is perfect. If you are thinking of getting Huntkey SMD607, do note that it does not come with widely-spaced outlets.

If you need transformer-friendly outlets, you may want to check my review of the APC P6WU2 above.

Moreover, the outlets are tilted horizontally; thus, some outlets on the other side may not be usable when a bulky plug is plugged in.

The Tripp Lite TLP4BK may not be aesthetically pleasing, yet it offers practical features that are worth significantly more than its asking price.

First off, this 4-outlet wall tap surge protector comes with 2 widely spaced outlets at each side and is super useful if you have old appliances or equipment that still use transformer-type plugs.

This Tripp lite surge protector that comes with 720 joules features EMI/RFI noise filtering, as well as a diagnostic LED on the top to help indicate Protected and Grounded status.

Personally, I really love the Automatic Shutoff feature, which helps shut off power to connected devices when protection circuits are incapacitated, thereby preventing irreparable damage to plugged-in devices.

This feature alone is capable of safeguarding connected devices that may cost many times more than the asking price of this surge protection device.

All in all, with a lifetime warranty, Tripp Lite TLP4BK is a small investment to have when it comes to protecting all your prized electrical appliances at home.

Cyberpower CSB600WS 6 Swivel Outlets Wall Mounted Surge Protector Wall Tap Review

Just like the Bestek model we reviewed earlier, the CyberPower CSB600WS also features swiveling outlets on both sides.

I personally prefer the CyberPower CSB600WS over the Bestek model, as all six outlets on the CyberPower can be rotated, whereas only two outlets on the Bestek can be pivoted. However, if you require USB charging ports, the Bestek model may be a better choice for you.

This 900 joules surge protection device features a wall tap design with a NEMA 5-15P plug.

What’s more, it comes with noise filtering capability to help filter against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference which helps ensure cleaner power to connected devices.

Besides having impact-resistant housing, this Cyberpower surge protector is capable of diverting any undesirable power surges and spikes away via its ground circuit, thanks to its Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) Technology.

We have a more detailed review of the CyberPower CSB600WS if you’re interested in learning more about this model.

If you are looking for a trusted brand that manufactures good quality wall-mounted surge protectors, CyberPower CSB600WS which comes with a limited lifetime warranty is definitely worth considering.
