Mifaso Cruise Ship Essentials Power Strip with USB Ports (Flat 5Ft Extension Cord)
Quick take
This Mifaso power strip is built for tight travel setups, with a flat, right-angle plug and a 5-foot braided cord that helps reduce clutter behind beds, sofas, and nightstands. It offers three AC outlets plus four USB ports for charging phones, tablets, and other small electronics, making it a practical companion for cruises and dorm rooms. The biggest tradeoff is that it has no surge protection, so it may not be the best choice if you want extra protection for sensitive devices on non-cruise power.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Travel-friendly shape: flat, low-profile right-angle plug designed to fit in tight spaces.
- More charging options: 3 AC outlets plus USB charging (USB-A and USB-C) for multiple devices at once.
- Wall/desk mounting: keyhole slots on the back, plus anti-slip rubber feet.
- Safety protections: includes overload, short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage, and overheating protection (ETL listed).
Cons
- No surge protection: intentionally designed for cruise-ship style requirements, but that limits how much “protection” it offers versus surge-protector strips.
- Compact size can surprise: some buyers note the outlet area is smaller than expected, which can affect how easily larger plugs fit.
- USB power is shared: the USB charging capacity is specified as a total, so heavy USB-C + USB-A charging at the same time may reduce what any single device receives.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback is strongly focused on real-world usability: people describe it as functional for charging multiple devices and note that the flat profile helps keep counters and floors less cluttered. Multiple cruise and travel comments emphasize that it works well when outlets are limited and space is tight. One caution that appears in discussions is to monitor it for heat under load, which aligns with the idea that high usage across AC and USB should stay within the strip’s rated capacity.
Who this is for
- Cruise travelers: this is the kind of compact, no-surge power strip many cruise lines prefer or restrict.
- Dorm room users and shared spaces: you get AC outlets for small appliances and USB charging for phones, tablets, and similar devices without needing bulky adapters.
- Anyone dealing with awkward plug access: the right-angle flat plug is designed to avoid blocking other plugs and to reach outlets behind furniture.
Key features that matter day to day
AC outlets plus USB charging
The strip includes three AC outlets and four total USB ports (USB-A and USB-C). That combination is meant to reduce cable clutter because you can power small electronics and charge devices directly, instead of relying on separate chargers.
Flat 5-foot extension cord for tight setups
A 5-foot flat braided cord helps it sit closer to the wall or floor, which can be a practical advantage in cramped cabins and dorm rooms. The flat design also tends to look less bulky than round cords when you route it around furniture.
Right-angle plug and space-saving layout
The 45-degree right-angle flat plug is made to fit in low-clearance areas and to prevent other plugs from being blocked. If the outlet location is tight behind a headboard, couch, or bookshelf, this layout is a major part of the appeal.
Mountable convenience
With two keyhole slots on the back and anti-slip rubber feet, it can be positioned on a desk or wall (depending on your setup), rather than relying on friction alone.
Safety protections (ETL listed) for everyday use
The built-in protections include overload, short-circuit, over-current, over-voltage, and overheating protection. This is useful when you are plugging in multiple devices for travel-day practicality.
Important limitation: no surge protection
This model is explicitly designed for situations where surge-protector power strips are not allowed or are restricted, such as cruise ship policies. The tradeoff is that it does not offer surge protection, so if you are buying for a home office where you want additional surge protection for valuables (or you routinely connect equipment to unpredictable outlets), you may prefer a surge-protector strip instead.
Specs to check before you buy
- AC rating: 1875W (125V), up to 13A
- Power plug type: North American Type B (3-pin)
- USB output: USB-C up to 5V/3A (15W), USB-A up to 5V/2.4A (12W), with a shared total USB rating
- Cable length: 5 ft (1.5 m)
- Materials: plastic enclosure
Pros and cons, in plain terms
Buy it if your priority is a compact travel and cruise power strip that combines AC outlets with USB charging and uses a flat right-angle plug to fit tight spaces. Skip it if surge protection is a must for your everyday setup, or if you need a larger outlet footprint for bulky plug heads.
Alternatives to consider (by buyer need)
- If surge protection matters: look for a travel power strip that includes surge protection and supports the same plug type and rated current.
- If you mainly need USB: a multi-port USB charging station may reduce AC usage, but you will still need AC outlets for appliances.
- If outlet spacing is the biggest issue: consider a model with a different plug geometry (more spacing between outlets) or one that is designed specifically for crowded wall receptacles.
FAQ
Does this power strip have surge protection?
No. It is designed to be used in situations where surge protection is not required or not allowed.
How many devices can it charge at once?
It has three AC outlets and four USB ports, so you can charge or power multiple devices simultaneously. The USB charging power is shared across USB ports, so total output is limited by the strip’s stated rating.
Will the flat right-angle plug fit in tight cruise outlets?
That is one of the main design goals. The 45-degree flat plug is intended to work in hard-to-reach spaces and help prevent other plugs from being blocked.
Can it be mounted on a wall or desk?
Yes. It includes keyhole slots for mounting and anti-slip rubber feet for more stable placement on flat surfaces.
Is it safe to use with multiple devices?
It includes multiple safety protections such as overload and overheating protection (ETL listed). Still, you should stay within its rated AC load and avoid exceeding the total USB output.
