ORICO Travel Extension Lead with USB Slots (2 outlets, 3 USB ports, 13A) – rollable power strip for travel and home

The essentials

If you travel a lot (or just hate juggling chargers), this ORICO travel extension lead is built around one simple idea: one compact strip that can handle both mains power and USB devices. It’s small enough to fit into a suitcase without feeling bulky, and it’s designed so you can plug in everyday essentials like a phone, tablet, laptop charger, lamp, or camera gear.

On paper it targets the practical moments—hotel sockets being awkwardly placed, desk setups where you run out of plugs, and offices where you want a single tidy hub. It’s also meant to avoid the usual “missing adapter” problem thanks to its built-in USB slots.

Key features

This model combines 2 AC outlets with 3 USB ports (2 USB-A and 1 USB-C). The USB section includes “smart charging” with stated outputs of 5V/2.4A per USB-A and a total USB output of 5V/3.4A. In day-to-day use that means you can power up to five devices from one lead, depending on what you’re plugging in.

The cord is described as rollable/portable for travel and home or office use, and the plug is a low-profile flat design. That detail matters more than it sounds: some sockets in hotels (and awkward behind-bed setups at home) are tight, so a bulky plug can be a real nuisance.

There’s also a childproof safety barrier. If children are in the house, that kind of physical protection can be reassuring—though, like any mains product, it still shouldn’t replace sensible safety habits.

What to notice in use

The wrap-around, space-saving layout is clearly the selling point for people who want something that doesn’t turn into a cable mess. It’s the kind of lead you can grab for a weekend break, then tuck away neatly afterwards.

A practical example: imagine you’re in a hotel room where the socket is tucked behind furniture and only one plug fits comfortably. With the flat plug design, you may be able to reach it without moving the bed as much, and you can still charge your phone and tablet directly via the USB ports while keeping your charger bricks to a minimum.

One small caveat: while it can support multiple devices at once, the lead is still an extension lead—so power-hungry appliances (where you’d normally prefer a dedicated wall socket) are something you’d want to think about before using everything together.

Safety and durability (the reassuring bits)

This ORICO travel power strip includes multiple protection features: overvoltage, overcurrent, overcharge, short circuit, and overheating protection. The housing is described as a flame-retardant PC shell with a stated flame-retardant temperature of 1382°F, and the lead uses pure copper and is described as extra thick for higher current carrying capacity (13A).

Is it perfect? Not in the sense that safety tech makes every setup automatically risk-free. But the protection list is the kind you’d expect to see when a product is meant for travel and frequent plugging/unplugging.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)

It’s a solid pick if you want a compact “plug + USB” setup for travel, and you regularly run into situations where outlets are limited or inconveniently placed. It also suits home/office users who want fewer adapters cluttering desks and drawers.

It might not be for you if you’re expecting a specialist heavy-duty power solution for high-watt appliances, or if you prefer ultra-minimal extension leads without USB ports. Also, if you mainly travel with very specific chargers and already have a reliable multi-adapter, this could feel like a bit of overkill.

Is it worth it?

This ORICO travel extension lead makes sense when portability and charging convenience matter—especially for hotel rooms, small desks, and setups where you want both AC power and USB charging in one place. The flat plug design, compact concept, and the mix of 2 outlets plus USB-A/USB-C are the main reasons it stands out.

Buy it if you want a practical everyday extension lead that reduces adapter clutter and can power a handful of devices at once. Skip it if you mainly need a basic extension lead, or if your use focuses on higher-demand appliances where you’d rather not rely on a multi-device strip approach.

Quick FAQ

Yes—there’s a childproof safety barrier described in the product information.

Final thought before you buy

Double-check what devices you plan to plug in, and whether you’ll be mixing mains-powered equipment with multiple USB charges at the same time. The convenience is real, but extension leads still need sensible matching to your equipment.
