Ontel Presto Plug Outlet Extender for Relocating Unreachable Power Outlets, 4ft Cord, Sticks Easily on Wall, Provides Surge Protection, 2 AC Outlets, 2 USB Ports & Built-in Shelf

Defective Product
I am providing feedback on the absolutely terrible quality of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender that I purchased August of 2024 to use for Christmas.Sequence of events.I first plugged my new Presto Plug Outlet Extender into an electrical outlet in my home that I know is functioning properly.Next I plugged an electrical device I own, that I am certain functions properly, into the top AC outlet of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender. The electrical device did not turn on.Next I unplugged my electrical device from the top AC outlet and then plugged it into the bottom AC outlet of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender. Again, the electrical device did not turn on.I concluded that there must be something wrong with the Presto Plug Outlet Extender, and I decided to inspect the internal contents as I have extensive knowledge of electronic and electrical devices.I un-screwed the 4 screws on the back side of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender.Upon inspection of the 4’ AC cable as it enters the housing and is connected to the printed circuit board ( PCB ), it was immediately apparent from the top ( unsoldered ) side, that poor quality would likely be the cause for no AC power reaching either of the two AC outlets of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender. None of the three AC cable wires (black, white, and green ) had been twisted and pre-solder tinned before insertion into their respective PCB holes. The individual copper strands on each of the three wires are crammed into and poorly fitting their holes.Once I turned the PCB over to inspect the soldered surface of the PCB, things looked even worse.1) the black ( “hot” 120Vac ) lead has what is likely a “cold” solder joint, as is shown in “1” of the attached photo. Not enough heat or solder were applied, and the black residue on the solder joint indicates that either the soldering iron tip was not properly cleaned/tinned, or the copper trace of the PCB was oxidized, or the proper flux technique was not employed, or all of these conditions.2) The white ( “common” 120Vac ) lead has almost no solder applied at all. In fact, so little solder was applied that the PCB’s hole for this wire is still clearly visible and unfilled, and the PCB’s copper trace is still clearly visible with an area lacking any solder. This can be seen in “2” of the attached photo. The issues with the “hot” and “common” wires on the PCB is the reason NO AC power is reaching either of the two AC outlets of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender.3) Finally, the most troubling thing I found during this inspection applies to the green ( “ground” ) lead. There was no attempt made during the fabrication of this product to apply ANY solder to the ground lead at the PCB. There is absolutely NO SOLDER on the ground lead. The copper trace is completely visible and lacking solder. Not only is this false advertising on the manufacturers part because the packaging states “2 AC grounded plugs”, but this condition could lead to possible electrical shock hazards due to improper ( actually NO ) grounding and the possibility of litigation.This product is absolutely unacceptable, and unsafe for use.I might be able to understand that an assembly line worker could have inadequate skills or training to complete this basic manual soldering task, even though I wouldn’t accept that excuse. But the fact that there clearly was no quality control personnel inspecting and rejecting this work prior to closing up the housing of the Presto Plug Outlet Extender is even more troubling.After viewing this one unit, I can have no doubt that ALL products of this manufacturer have the same unacceptable quality level, that is, they are all useless. As such even though I passed the return date I feel that I should be entitled for a refund for both Presto Plugs. They are unsafe and I do not feel comfortable utilizing the second plug after finding all the issues with the first plug. Please contact me and let me know if and when you will be providing a refund.I gave one star because I couldn’t give “0” stars

Excellent for the RV!
This is an excellent find for our RV as they don’t put the plugs in the most easily accessed places, especially as we age. However, the only drawback is the adhesion. They say to make sure you place it where you want it as it won’t remove, but it surely does. All on it’s own. You just find it on the counter! But, I have now attached them with Command strips and now they are perfect! Still, an excellent find.Ok, now editing this review as for whatever reason, after about a week on the wall and very little to no use at all, the outlet no longer works. The outlet it’s plugged into works just fine, so the issue is clearly with the extension. There is no ‘reset’ button that I can find. Now, I have to figure out how to get it off my RV wall without damaging the wall as I never thought I’d have to remove it, and certainly not this soon. The one in the bathroom does continue to work though.

Works for low-power devices – terrible for high-power.
I first got one of these to move a plug for easier access for charging mobile devices and it worked great. Then I ordered a second to move one so I could plug in an iron next to an ironing board – this was NOT great. The plug worked for about 10 seconds then was dead.These are designed with an internal, un-resettable fuse that WILL POP with anything that uses a significant amount of current. I suspect anything more power draw than a laptop might run into issues and it certainly doesn’t work for things like hairdryers or irons. If this happens, the outlet is dead forever.I do not recommend this device. I’m sure there are others which don’t have this limitation.

Doesn’t work!!!!
I received the unit when promised and plugged it in to see if it was going to work for what I wanted to use it for and it did! It was perfect so mounted it to my quarts backsplash and it really stuck to it!! There is no getting it off! I wanted to use it for my portable two burner cooktop because the cord for it is too short and just barely reached my outlet that I had been using. It worked fine for about 5 min. and then realized that my food was not cooking. It did not smoke or catch fire, just stopped working! I unplugged it and checked my wall outlet and it was fine, that was still working but now I have this extension outlet on my countertop that doesn’t work and I can’t get it off!!! Not a happy camper!!! You should let people know if it’s not built or powerful enough for a kitchen appliance! Very sad because I think it would have been perfect if it had stayed working!!!! Probably would be fine for lights or something like that if it stays working!!! Can’t get my money back because I can’t send it back cause I can’t remove it!!! Do not buy!!!!

Es muy bonito se ve muy estético. Pero lo tuve que regresar al segundo día porque ya no funcionaba.
