The Allocacoc Original PowerCube is a revolutionary power solution that offers a smart and practical way to simultaneously power multiple devices. Designed with innovation and convenience in mind, this compact and efficient power cube is an ideal accessory for home, office, and travel.
Unique Cube Design
The Allocacoc Original PowerCube stands out with its distinctive cubic design. Unlike traditional power solutions with elongated, linear arrangements, this cube features a compact shape that allows for more efficient use of space. The cubic shape ensures that all sockets are easily accessible without obstructing neighboring sockets, comfortably accommodating bulky power adapters and chargers.
Flexible Socket Configuration
Equipped with multiple sockets, the Original PowerCube provides a versatile socket configuration. The standard model typically offers four or five sockets, depending on the variant, making it suitable for charging and powering various electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, printers, and more. Additionally, some models may include USB ports, adding an extra layer of convenience for directly charging USB-enabled devices.
Safety and Quality
Allocacoc prioritizes safety and quality in the design and manufacture of the PowerCube. The product is equipped with built-in surge protection, safeguarding connected devices from sudden power spikes and electrical surges. The robust construction ensures durability and resilience, making it a reliable power solution for everyday use.
Energy Efficiency
The PowerCube is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It encourages users to completely turn off devices and appliances when not in use, thanks to the accessible power switch on the surface of the cube. This feature not only helps reduce energy consumption but also minimizes standby power usage, contributing to a greener environment.

Very beautiful, very convenient, but that's it; after a while, the USB ports stopped working on all 4 cubes that I have gradually. But the worst of all is that the plastic develops cracks over time, as seen in the photos.
Very good and quality Powercube. I have other Powercubes from different companies at home, but this one shows a level above. Sometimes there is difficulty in removing the plugs, but overall I am very satisfied.
One of the most... painful purchases I've made. Although the product is excellent, unfortunately the protection mechanism it has on the sockets, so that no child can put a screwdriver inside, is very difficult. You try to plug in a socket and it gives you a hard time. The inspiration for the review was that I was banging the socket with my hand out of frustration to get it in place, hence the "painful purchase".
I expected the construction to be of higher quality, however, after using it for 2 months, all the ports work perfectly and it charges my phone quickly via USB. Additionally, it is a bit large in size. I only recommend it for simple household use as an economical solution.
4 stars because personally it didn't suit me much... I prefer multi-plugs with cables in the end. Also, its cases are a bit hard and it takes some force to disconnect some plugs you may have inserted.
Everything is fine. The USBs are not fast charge though. The only issue is that the device is quite bulky. Meaning, if you want to place it behind any furniture or even behind a device in the kitchen, behind a nightstand, and so on, you have to calculate it well.
Very good product for space saving, many ports, all functional, I bought at least 10 of them in different colors and I didn't have any issues with any of them

First of all, the build quality seems satisfactory.
It is convenient because you can directly connect 4 plugs to it.
Also, the USB ports are helpful, although they charge slowly and are not suitable, let's say, for a tablet.
Edit: One year after the purchase, one USB port broke.
Unfortunately, it does not charge mobile phones as quickly as we would like. I put it in the bedroom and it takes all night to charge my Android with the official cable. Also, after a month on the wall, I accidentally bumped it with my knee, not forcefully, and when I took it out, one of the prongs was stuck in my wall socket. My foolishness, as I bought another one for my vacation home.
Very practical, a little big and bulky but still does its job perfectly. As for the USB charging speed, I haven't charged a phone but it charges camera batteries just fine.
Excellent & innovative product with sturdy construction! The only drawback could be that it cannot be easily placed behind furniture, as it requires some space, so there will inevitably be some "air" between the furniture and the wall. Very good as a gift!
Despite its large size, it is very good and practical. It was the first time I bought something like this to avoid multiple sockets with cables, and it was an excellent choice. 4 stars and not 5 just because of the size
I have nothing bad to say because it does a very good job as a power strip. For its price, it is just right, but I would recommend it for low-power devices, for example, do not put a computer on top of it
Excellent. I placed it on all sides of connections with electronic devices, without any difficulty. I have no power or voltage losses. In the USB ports, I have connected a lamp and speakers (which have USB power supply), without any problem at all. I connected it on a power strip, where due to its size, I lose one socket, but no problem because I gained two more. I will definitely buy another one.
As plugs, no problem! But as USB, they must be very slow... they are not even USB 2. They are probably the first ones that came out many years ago for the first time!
It was purchased about a year ago from a chain of stores.
Positive
Nice design and many ports that do not obstruct other sockets.
Ideal for cable management.
Many installation positions.
Negative
The USB ports are not functional, it cannot handle 2 devices at once, and the bottom often gets blocked and my phone doesn't work.
The Original is very bad (no other version comes close to its flexibility and usefulness).
I have bought 1 Original, 4 Rewirable for myself, and another 5 Rewirable as gifts (over time, all of these).
The only Original I got (and returned as defective and exchanged for the Rewirable),
on the first day I plugged it into a power outlet, the 2 prongs got pushed inward into the cube (with minimal force... it's not the first time we plug a power strip into the socket),
resulting in no contact and therefore not functioning as a power strip.
Check out my positive review of the Rewirable version:

Based on my experience with a total of 9 Rewirable, don't waste your money on the Original, go straight for the Rewirable.
Obviously, not all Original cubes will have the same problem, but it was very concerning how EASILY it happened.
There is no power strip of such impeccable and sturdy construction and aesthetics. It accommodates 4 sockets (and the model without USB, 5), one in each slot of the cube without any problem due to their size, as they do not come into contact with each other. However, there are also some issues. It is quite bulky and protrudes. The side sockets should be "horizontal" like the front one (in the model without USB), so that the plugs - which are usually angled - can be inserted straight and not sideways, so that their cables do not create an angle. Nevertheless, due to its construction and flexibility, it is an excellent purchase.
Excellent product, stylish, very convenient and sturdy construction. You save the power strip and can easily fit all the large plugs, while the 2 USB ports elevate its usability.
*1 year later* It still works as if not a single day of use has passed
Very good solution if you want to get rid of the power strip with a cable, which bothered me because of its bulk. Very convenient with the presence of USB. It has good build quality and works without any problems. Keep in mind that it is quite bulky. Buy it only if it suits you ergonomically.
It helped a lot with cable management and that was the reason for purchasing it from the beginning. It doesn't have any issues with noise or losses and it is a sturdy construction. I haven't measured the amperes that its USB ports provide, but they definitely work as a simple compatible charger.
