Plugload Advanced Power Strip - Review and Teardown

My other reviews of advanced power strips:

Greenlite 5-outlet • Greenlite Tier 1 - Adv...
This video presents a so-called "advanced" power strip purchased brand new for $1.49 at a thrift store. The "advanced" designation refers to electrical appliance in one of the outlets controlling the ON and OFF power in other outlets. Different thrift stores across the Midwest have been selling recently large quantities of brand new LED light bulbs and advanced power strips such as this one, as well as weather strips for windows and doors, at significantly discounted prices, well below regular retail, and even below the cost of production and distribution.

Gracias por la info, nosotros los mecatrónicos somos bien cuidadosos a la hora de buscar un enchufe que cumpla con los requisitos aptos, ese disyuntor de 15A se me hace una buena protección

So you would say that this isn't a good one to have?

These work excellent when new. Great deal if you can find one for 2 dollars or less.

how to bypass the relay to keep all outlets in on?

[@tektech1065]

The easy way: just bridge (solder) the two output contacts of the relay. The downside is that the circuit is still going to consume (waste) about 3 Watts of power whenever the strip is plugged in.
A better way is to gut out the "advanced" part and solder wire bridges across the outlets. But this is something to do for an electrician in order to avoid any risks of fire or electric shock. Any electrician would know what to do and how to do it.
Good luck!
