TESSAN Flat-Plug Power Strip Review (8 Outlets, 3 USB)
The flat plug that finally disappeared behind our nightstand.

Bottom Line
This is the flat-plug strip I'd buy again, and plenty of people already have — twice over. If your outlets are trapped behind furniture and you're powering electronics, not appliances, it's an easy yes at about $20. Just don't ask it to run a hairdryer, and order a cord longer than five feet if the outlet's across the room.
Most power strips get bought in a hurry and forgotten. Across TESSAN flat plug power strip reviews this surge protector earns a second look for where it goes, not what it does.
Our problem was the nightstand: the only free outlet sat behind the headboard, so charging a phone meant moving furniture at 11 p.m. The TESSAN's flat 0.35-inch plug and right-angle cord slid into that gap and vanished — bed back against the wall, phone charging, done. That's the whole appeal, and about 14,000 buyers keep echoing it: the plug hides where a normal one won't.
Day to day, eight outlets and three USB ports (one USB-C) cover a desk or a dorm without a second strip. One switch, no app. Two screws get it off the floor if you want.
Here's the catch, and it's a real one: this is a strip for electronics, not appliances. Plug in a hairdryer and the overload breaker trips the whole thing off. Plenty of buyers hit it. That's the safety feature doing its job — but know the limit before you trust it in a kitchen or bathroom.
Against a plain Amazon Basics strip a few dollars cheaper, you're paying for the flat plug and the USB-C. Worth it if furniture's in the way; skip it if the outlet is already out in the open.
Buy it if your outlets hide behind beds or desks and you're charging gear, not running heaters. Skip it if you need one strip for high-draw appliances, or want more than 900 joules guarding pricey electronics.
