GE 36391 4-Outlet Surge Protector 2 USB Ports

The GE 36391 4-Outlet Surge Protector is a practical solution for anyone who needs a few extra outlets and USB charging capability without taking up a lot of space. It converts a single wall outlet into four grounded AC outlets and adds two USB ports for charging smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. The 6-foot power cord ends in a flat plug, which is a thoughtful design choice that allows you to push desks, nightstands, or entertainment consoles right up against the wall — a small detail that makes a real difference in tight spaces.

On the protection side, the unit offers a 450-joule surge rating backed by automatic shutdown technology and an integrated circuit breaker. When the internal surge protection components have absorbed their capacity, the strip shuts off entirely rather than continuing to pass power unprotected. Twist-to-close safety covers on unused outlets are a welcome addition for homes with young children. While the joule rating positions this squarely as a light-to-moderate-duty protector rather than a heavy-duty solution for gaming rigs or home theater systems, it handles everyday electronics — chargers, lamps, laptops, and small peripherals — with reliable ease.
