Customer Reviews

Belkin surge protector
I am taking one star off simply because the placement of the outlets makes using more than a couple of adapters difficult. A person really has to do some "fiddling" and re-arranging plugs to get use of the most of them. The shortish cord is no problem form myself, while it might be for others.

Overall, a decent unit. And for the price very good buy.

strictly average--and I'm NOT writing home about it...
This surge protector from Belkin does a good job of protecting electronic equipment from any damage or problems should there be a power surge. I have used this product for a while now with an older computer. You do get a warranty with this mechanism, too.

The surge protector benefits from a simplistic design; for people like myself this is certainly sufficient to protect my older computer and printer. I guess it could protect stereo systems, too, if they're not too sophisticated. There are six power outlets that also, of course, allow you to protect and plug in six things all at once. Just plug in the surge protector into an electrical outlet and there you are.

The cord does extend not much more than two and one-half feet and that's a definite minus. Some people remark that it's tough to see the on/off buttons but I haven't had a problem with that. Oh, well.

Obviously, I would never use this to light up a fish tank or place it near anything liquid. That could clearly start a fire. I also wouldn't trust this surge protector to protect any major appliances; it seems a bit too basic for that serious a workload.

Overall, I have had no problems with this Belkin surge suppressor--but it's equally true that it's a very basic surge protector that doesn't really lend itself for heavy duty use. That cord is way too short, too! I recommend this product either as an emergency spare surge protector or as a surge protector for older computers or other electrical appliances that are not heavy duty.

Great value, slim, protected location of the on/off switch
I work in the IT industry, so every time people move offices they come to me for a power strip. I buy these power strips regularly because:

1. They have seemed to protect adequately for surges
2. They are very compact
3. They are cheap!!!!
4. The big one-- the power switch is on the side where the power cable exits the strip. This has a big advantage.

You'd be amazed how many times people, cleaning crews or others accidentally flip the power switch on a power strip that may be under the edge of a desk or in an area that can get bumped but isn't easily seen. That also causes problems because people don't understand why their stuff isn't working. Having the switch on the side dramatically reduces the frequency with which I get calls because "stuff stopped working"... No one ever expects the simple answer and always assume a device has gone bad, etc.

The color fits in with your average office creme color, and unless you are going to get a power squid or UPS I wouldn't spend more on a power strip than the cost of this.
