Great design, very useful, and resolves the issue of unusable outlets. Great buy!
Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C)
This is soooooo very cool to use. It allows me to use it in so many other sockets that I could never really use due to their location. It makes it easy to swivel the plug to the position needed. It is sturdy, a good price, and the cord length is just right. I will carry one in each of my backpacks & computer bags, as well as it will replace most of my extensions. The weight was right so that I could put it in my backpacks and having all of the outlets makes it very useful.

Awesome Solution for Adapting to Limited Outlets!
Color: White, Size: 10FT (2 USB-C)
Pro/Con: When you need to reach places that your lamp, computer, or printer cords can't reach the outlets you have available, this is a great solution! The 360° rotating head with 10 ft cord length is brilliant and well worth the money. No more struggling with left or right angle appliance cords! Highly recommended for both surge protection and reaching power source.

Manufacturing Flaw
Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C), Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C)
I removed 1 star because there is a manufacturing issue and bad packaging. This product is actually great. It's exactly what I needed. There's plenty of outlets and a good amount of USB and USB-C ports to charge additional devices without using any charging block. There's a small switch to turn off/on the entire outlet. What I love the most about this product is the rotating 360° plug. It saved me so much time and effort to organize my outlets/plugs. Its a very unique design and definitely something different on the market. Now, here's the flaw. The flat cord are twisted and does NOT sit flushed against the walls. Once you plug it in, and line up the cords, the outlets face the walls instead of outwards towards you. It doesn't make sense. You can't install the outlet to the wall because it will never lay flat like they claim. You cant have it sit on the floor or table without it flipping over on its side because of the twisted cord. And also, the packaging wasnt so great either. I would assume a great product would come with great packaging. It should look and feel more of high quality like the product it self. Overall, its a minor flaws and doesn't change its functionality. The purpose was the 360° plug, the extended 5ft cord, and the extra USB-C outlets, so I will keep it. Besides its actually affordable and pretty much durable compared to others.
