Customer Reviews

This thing really works!
I live in the Colorado mountains at 10000 ft elevation. The house sits on a large rock outcropping just barely covered by dirt. Storms build here before moving out east to the plains. The rock outcropping is a great attractor of lightning. Before using the Belkin surge protector we lost many a phone and modem if we forgot to unplug the phone lines. We got hit with lightning last week, enough to rattle the windows, and the surge protector took the hit and protected the phone. I'm sold. I'm buying two more, one to replace the old one and one spare. Its a lot cheaper to replace the surge protector than the phone.

Well built
This product is solidly built and comes with good written information. It also has 2 warning lights, one for power and one for surge protection. It also has a line for the phone cord. It plugs into the wall solidly and other items plug into it solidly. It comes with a generous guarantee, although you have to read the fine print to discover that if a given device (e.g. TV) does not also have separate surge protection for the cable, the warranty is void. No lightening strikes yet so I can't tell you how well it protects against surges.

great for phone protection
We kept getting hits (nearby lightning, I suppose) that would mess up our telephones. After having to throw away a number of telephones with builtin answering machines and cordless units, I found this little unit.

It is cheap enough and small enough to be useful just to protect a phone line.

It's basically a one-shot deal, so we have to swap in a new one after each hit (only a few per year). For some reason, the electrical protection circuit doesn't get ruined by a hit, but the phone line protection circuit always does (the symptom is no dial tone). So even though the little light is still lit indicating that electrical protection still works, the phone circuit will go dead. Basically the phone circuit in this unit sacrifices itself, to protect our telephones!

That's why this unit is great, since we're only paying to waste a single electrical outlet, when all we really need is the phone line protection. Larger surge protector units, with 1 phone line and more electrical outlets, still lose the phone line after a hit, so it's way better to just stock up on these little 1-outlet units.
