Good features for the money, not sure about quality control4
I bought six of these. These are the least expensive surge protectors I could find that have significant protection against surges. Why do I say this? Two reasons:
1) Most inexpensive surge protectors only protect for surges between the hot and neutral power lines. Better ones (like this) are called "3 line" surge protectors, with protection from hot to neutral, hot to ground, and neutral to ground.
2) Surge protectors are also rated by the amount of energy they can absorb. You can find very cheap ones as low as 70 joules. These are specified as absorbing up to 885 joules.
These units also have an LED which tells you if your outlet is grounded, which is useful information.
However, on one of the six units I bought, the ground LED does not illuminate. It's not worth the shipping to send it back, so I took it apart to see if I could spot the problem. I couldn't, but the construction is solid and I can verify that there are, in fact, three MOVs (metal oxide varistors - the surge absorbing component of most surge protectors).
I'm sure there are better surge protectors out there, but at this price point, these are hard to beat.

Surgemaster price/performance great5
This is just what I needed for use with a laptop. It's small and has greater surge capacity than many multiple outlet strips.

Shockingly Great Surge Protector5
After reading numerous forum articles about the use of a surge protector on a refrigerator (it's about a 50/50 opinion on using one), I figured I'd give this one a try since it's description said it can be used for appliances. The other reason I got it was because of another Amazon review that said all 3 prongs are protected, which is good. My concern was the starting load of the compressor tripping the surge protector thus not allowing the refrigerator to operate. Well, so far so good. The real test will be in the coming months when the daily afternoon thunder storms roll into our area (down South).
If you own one of the newer refrigerators that has a motherboard, you should really consider a surge protector. It's the cheaper of the 2.
