    nice spacing for 4 big plugs, always a hassle with most.

    Didn't see a reset breaker in the pics, did they decide not to include one? Personally I'd rather it were double length with only one row of plugs, abacons you can't put wall warts on both rows of outlets without moving it a few inches away from a wall for clearance.

    I don't think the spacing is all that great though, they could've just put another outlet in where they left the space then in worst case blocking it with a wart you lose no outlet use compared to not having it there at all, but in best case you have more flexibility on where things are plugged in. Granted, it still beats having the cheapo inline outlet type where you can only plug 2-3 warts max into it, but on the other hand you can buy 3 of those for the cost of one of these.

    There's where having a decent resettable breaker comes into play, you can give people lots more outlets so long as there is a way to cut power if they do something dumb like try plugging too many high current devices in. Someone could still do that with the # of outlets this has of course, so really either way an appropriately sized breaker is important.
