    The power strip/surge protector that can blend in your hardwood floors.

    I talked about the original Invisplug power strip, which is designed to blend in with hardwood floors, right after last year's National Hardware Show. That model is still available, but now there's a new Deluxe version which adds several features. The Invisiplug Deluxe, which is available in three wood grain finishes (light natural, medium cherry, and dark oak) now adds two 2.1 Volt USB charging ports. There are still six three-pronged outlets, but like the original, they are not spaced widely apart, so it's unlikely you'll be able to use all six if you have those big transformer plugs. But now you also get a pair of LED indicator lights that will indicate that your line is grounded and that the surge protector is working. There is 900 joules of  surge protection in the Deluxe model, twice what the original has. The original Invisiplug is on Amazon for about $16.00 and the new  Invisiplug Deluxe retails for about $24.99 on Amazon. It's Amazon Prime, so if you're a member, 2 day shipping is free.

    Invisiplug without the 2 USB ports. It's $15.99 and offers 450 joules of surge protection.
