Preface

Today, we will introduce to you the Huntkey EasyCombo series power strip, a product that embodies both design and development excellence. By splitting the traditional power strip into two parts – "detachable cord and board, easy combination" – it successfully allows for flexible pairing of different length cables and outlet strips, achieving simplicity, practicality, and ease of portability. Follow along with Chargelab's review to see how this power strip stands out from the rest.

EasyCombo Design

"Easy Combo" can be understood as "simple combination", where "Easy" signifies ease and simplicity, while "Combo" conveys the meaning of combining or integrating. Huntkey has successfully achieved a flexible and practical integration of different cables and outlet strips, resulting in a modular power strip.

Currently, the majority of power strips available in the market share similar appearances and internal designs. Relying on their simple yet reliable structures, they have undergone minimal changes since their inception, resulting in remarkably consistent issues. These issues can be summarized into 4 points:

1. Ordinary power strips are typically bulky, unsuitable for travel or business trips.

2. Maintenance costs are high, and sometimes even a small component damage may necessitate the replacement of the entire power strip.

3. Lack of personalization. In terms of appearance and design, ordinary power strips may be relatively monotonous, failing to meet the personalized needs of some consumers.

4. Fixed capacity. The internal space of ordinary power strips is fixed, limiting the number of outlets and the amount of plugs and cables they can accommodate.

EasyCombo 6S Power Strip &3S travel Power Strip

This time, Huntkey has released two EasyCombo series power strips: the 6S Power Strip and the 3S Travel Power Strip. Despite differences in appearance size and some configurations, they share a consistent core design philosophy.

The front of the Huntkey EasyCombo 6S Power Strip is equipped with six US-standard AC outlets, while the EasyCombo 3S Travel Power Strip features fewer AC outlets, making it more compact and portable.

Additionally, the EasyCombo 3S Travel Power Strip comes with a sturdy velvet storage bag, which allows for easy packing and carrying of the power strip.

Both the EasyCombo 6S Power Strip and the EasyCombo 3S Travel Power Strip are equipped with four USB output ports, including a USB-C port that supports PD15W, with blue-colored collets for the female connectors. The USB sockets are gold-plated, ensuring more stable current transmission and longer service life.

Compared to the EasyCombo 3S Travel Power Strip, the EasyCombo 6S Power Strip features an additional reset switch on one side. When the total power of the electrical devices connected to the power strip exceeds its rated power, the reset switch will automatically disconnect the power to prevent overloading, which could lead to overheating of the wires or even fires. Additionally, it is equipped with internal lightning protection to effectively guard against lightning strikes and safeguard the safety of connected devices.

This time, the Huntkey EasyCombo 6S Power Strip utilizes flat AC outlets.

EasyCombo Extension Cord

The detachable cables HEC001/002/003 measure approximately 120cm, 300cm, and 500cm in length, respectively, meeting the length requirements for most household scenarios. Additionally, large-sized magic tape straps are included to cater to users' storage needs.

The internal AC wire cores and outlet copper strips of Huntkey's EasyCombo series power strips are made of high-quality copper. The AC plugs are US-standard three-pronged flat plugs with a 45° angled design, saving space and not interfering with adjacent outlets. They allow for easy plugging and unplugging even in tight spaces. Furthermore, they are imprinted with the US "ETL" certification and line identification for neutral, ground, and live wires.

The plug on the other end is secured with a press-fit latch to prevent detachment, achieving a perfect connection with a satisfying "click" sound, making it effortlessly suitable for electrical use scenarios during travel.

Usage scenarios

How does the Huntkey EasyCombo 6S Power Strip perform in practical use, given its revolutionary design?

When using the Huntkey EasyCombo 6S Power Strip on a desk, the 2C2A ports reserved on one side allow users to better manage cables and plug in/unplug devices, keeping the desk neat and organized.

The EasyCombo 3S Travel Power Strip also boasts multi-port cable management capabilities, and its white-gray color scheme complements any desk setup. Even when all outlets are occupied, users can easily plug in and unplug devices without interference.

Summary of ChargeLAB 

The Huntkey EasyCombo Power Strip revolutionizes traditional power strips by separating the board from the cord and enabling easy combination, successfully allowing for flexible pairing of different cord lengths and outlet boards, achieving simplicity, practicality, and portability.

At the same time, the Huntkey EasyCombo series addresses issues such as the large size, high maintenance costs, lack of personalization, limited outlet count, and restricted cable length of conventional power strips. In contrast, the EasyCombo series offers greater flexibility, allowing users to choose different cables and outlet boards based on their needs, eliminating the need to purchase an entirely new power strip due to insufficient cable length or outlet space, which can lead to a waste of money and resources. In this regard, Huntkey consistently adheres to the concept of green, low-carbon, and environmental protection, creating its own desktop aesthetics.
