The unexpected desk accessory, bearing a striking resemblance to a party-friendly gadget, turns out to be none other than the humble power strip.

In the realm of power strips, the Genki Moonbase stands out as a unique and impressive device. This visually appealing power strip, manufactured by Genki, is a stylish addition to any desk, resembling concept art of moonbases.

The Genki Moonbase weighs approximately 1020 grams, making it more heavy than many actual laptops. However, its design, which features each plug on top of what looks like an individual module, adds to its aesthetic appeal. The product is available in two colour combinations: 'Moonlight' (dark grey with blue-green accents) and 'Darkside' (white with orange-red accents), further enhancing its visual appeal.

The Genki Moonbase is equipped with GaN power technology, ensuring it runs cool, even with most slots occupied. It boasts a power capacity of 240W via its main AC outlets and four USB-C outlets with varying power delivery capacities. The power strip is compatible with US, EU, and UK plug types and has outlets spaced far enough apart to accommodate bulky or oddly shaped adapters.

The Genki Moonbase is not just a functional power strip; it also comes with safety features such as surge protection, temperature control, overcurrent prevention, and safety door shutters. Its price might be considered high for a power strip, but justifiable for a USB hub, especially given its unique design and additional features.

At the time of writing, the Genki Moonbase costs £119.99 in the US (approx. £108 in the UK). It is available for purchase on Amazon and Genki's own site. The Genki Moonbase is the most expensive item on the reviewer's desk, but its weight and design evoke a sense of excitement and nostalgia.

However, its weight might be a concern for some users due to its hefty nature. The product's weight may require a secure placement to prevent it from falling. Despite this, the Genki Moonbase serves as a decorative item on the desk, adding a touch of sci-fi flair to any workspace.

In conclusion, the Genki Moonbase is a stylish and feature-rich power strip that offers a unique blend of functionality and aesthetics. Whether you're looking for a power strip that stands out or a USB hub with added safety features, the Genki Moonbase could be the perfect choice for you.
