Pros & Cons
Pros
The power cord is very thick and durable. The cord has a velcro strap attached so i can fold up the excess cable. The extension cord is quite high gauge, which gives me more confidence that i will be protected from an overheating power cord.

It seems well-made, durable, and competitively priced.

This 5 foot trond power bar sells currently for $49.
00 more for the 10 foot bar) however, there is a promo code that offers 50% off.
But assuming you want the added piece of mind, it just makes sense to look for the biggest bang for the buck.
Shipping
They work fine as regular usb power ports, they are not high speed or power delivery.

On one side of the box there's the address of the trond website & the email address of trond support.
Competitiveness
Interestingly its power button seems to shake and rattle more than other power bar's power button.
The price of $65 cad at the time of writing is also high compared to similar power bars.
