Never look at ugly power cords again, thanks to this brilliant $24 Amazon find
It's a pesky downside to the miraculous tech-driven world we live in: The more gadgets we own, the more unsightly cables and wires we have dangling, tangling and winding around our homes. If there only were an easy way to corral that sprawling mess. (Spoiler alert: There is!). Enter the bestselling Sleek Socket Ultra-Thin Outlet Cover, an inexpensive way to manage the rats' nest that's accumulated around your electronics.
The No. 1 bestselling Sleek Socket is a handy three-outlet power strip that stays out of sight while leading into one inconspicuous cover. Plus, you can finally push that furniture flush to the wall!
The Sleek Socket Electrical Outlet Cover features a three-foot cable that can be easily hidden away behind your electronics, clamped to your baseboard or stowed behind your workstation. The end result is a unified solution that blends into the background. It's perfect for apartment dwellers whose lease prevents them from a more invasive fix.
It is genius in its simplicity: All you do is plug it into the socket and the cord can be maneuvered under, around or over any nearby obstacles so you can easily power up your necessities. It comes in a variety of lengths (three-foot or eight-foot), sizes (single vs. dual) and styles (inverted, TV mount, etc.) to suit your specific needs.
So go take a quick inventory of all your cluttered, hard-to-reach outlets and solve the problem in a flash.
Sleek Socket has received more than 47,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. "Stops us from wasting an outlet," began one happy shopper. "We have an older home, so we don't have as many outlets as what is now required. We now get to use every outlet we have in the living room. And these work perfectly for behind the bookshelves because they're so tall."
"These Sleek Sockets are extremely easy to use," said another. "You just plug them in, direct the cord and hide the plugs. I thought it was really nice that Sleek Socket also created an inverted plug so that I could direct cords upwards (for the TV in my office)."
Use it in bathrooms and kitchens to make them more functional and streamlined. And in bedrooms and living rooms, it keeps furniture flush against walls and no tangled eyesore of cords within view.
Starting at just $24, the Sleek Socket also gives you more space against your walls, since you've no longer got a bunch of plugs bulging out of your outlets. Everything is just flush, flush, flush!
Want to go big? The dual version is twice as nice with two power strips, allowing you to plug in all those holiday decorations with ease.
