PortaPow USB Power Blocker - Stops Charging, Allows Data (Single Pack)

Product Information

It is a little basic in terms of its line of protection, but you are getting three layers here - just enough to protect your kitchen appliances and small electronics at home. And its six foot cord means that it's a little more versatile in its location. We wouldn't recommend using this to regularly power your PC or laptop, however, as it won't offer enough protection if a surge does happen. NOTE: Although the 90 lb Pro EXP Stage 3 set would be my ideal first choice, I understand that budget is very important for most people, myself included… Like you thought, the Elite set is slightly more compact than the U90 set in length, width and height. It’s not a major difference, but it’d be noticeable if you compared them side by side. The Elite 5-50 is 12″L x6″ W x 6″ H at 50 lbs, vs. the U90 Stage 1, which is 12.5″ L x 7″ W x 7.25″ H at 50 lbs.

Pro 125 Commercial Set or Pro 175 Commercial Set: The Pro 125 set is expandable to 175 lbs. with the 125-175 lb expansion kit. The Pro 175 set is 175 lbs when you get it.

Product Features Each model has its own positives and negatives, described below, which makes choosing between the two such a difficult decision.

The color bands on the rails correspond with the weight chart on the handle to show what will be selected. Thanks for the reply. Is the Elite 90 expandable to 125 with the kit? Or are the “commercial” lines the only ones that can be expanded beyond 90 lbs now. Reply With so many models, each having its own unique set of features, capabilities and limitations, it takes some effort to familiarize yourself with not only the major distinctions between models but also their more subtle differences.While it’s not a major factor, I prefer a straight handle grip if I have the choice. The uniform diameter feels more natural to me. However, others find that a contoured grip forms better to their hand and gives a more ergonomic feel. It comes down to personal preference. Note: There is also the Elite EXP, sold by third parties, but that is beyond the purview of this article.)

That said, they only offer one grip style, making it difficult to adopt a crush grip (two hands around the handle), nor can you grasp the ‘bell’ element of a traditional dumbbell when performing goblet sumo squats and the like. However, the Pro 50 is different from most non-expandable models. It does have adder weights, so you can adjust it as little as 2.5 lb increments. Adder Weights To put the Joule rating of a surge protector in simple words, it indicates how much energy a device can absorb before the filter stops functioning. So the higher the joules, the more filtering it can do, and for a longer time, as each spike that hits your surge protector weakens its filtering ability.

For the Elite Series, my focus will be on the Elite USA rather than the Elite EXP. Be sure to read my Elite USA vs Elite EXP article to learn the key differences between these two models. The Elite Series consists of just one expandable model: The Elite USA, which is sometimes called the USA Elite or the Elite 50/70/90. Technically, you could say the Elite USA includes 3 separate sets — the Elite 50, Elite 70 and Elite 90 — but these are just 3 different stages of the same model.
