If you live in or travel to an area with a poor electrical grid, your tech products could be at risk.
An unexpected power surge, even a small and quick one, can damage the internal components of your computer or cell phone.
The best way to protect yourself is to use an adapter like this, which also works as a power outlet multiplier and includes USB ports.
Accell D080B-010K Surge Protector with Dual USB Charging Port ($ 16.18, originally $ 19.99; amazon.com)
The Accell D080B-010K adapter may not have the most attractive name in the world, but it is a great accessory for homes dealing with electrical issues.
Like many adapters, it transforms a single plug socket into three, with the advantage that they are located in such a way that large transformers and adapters can be used without fear of blocking one of the ports.
It offers, of course, protection against unexpected power surges, with plugged-in device protection insurance of up to $ 100,000.
And, as a bonus, it also has two USB-A connections to connect and charge all kinds of small electronic devices, such as cell phones, wireless headphones or a camera.
