Would you buy one of these?

My concern would not so much be that there's a disruption to the connected devices, but that I could get electrocuted if in contact with the water that was also in contact with any of the pins on the any of the plugs. If the water was "dirty" like almost any water is (rainwater for example) then I'm likely going to get a slap.

In fact one could possibly do the same test he does with any power strip and the devices would likely not be impacted.

hi
UK rating is IP68 for that type of equipment.

Devices backed by an international standard rating of IP68 are deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to thirty minutes. *Based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.

The product is probably better for outdoor casual use than a cheap poorly fitting power strip but it's not worth much more than an "normal" strip and it can't even handle polarized plugs.

But...

That review was just plain dumb and his delivery made me want to gnaw my own frontal lobe off.

My wife overheard the video and said his voice "was just plain annoying".

So if I plug it into a GFCI protected outlet and spray it with tap water my guess is it will trip the GFCI. I guess I don't get where the magic is or what makes this strip special? Nope, I am not running out to get one.
