> 3 dayJust the right amount of protection for my AV center (TV, audio, AV components). Good price and sturdy.

> 3 dayNot too much thicker than a normal surge protector. Port placements are great to allow multiple large plug types. Hope I never have to rate the actual surge protection.

> 3 dayThis product performed the work as expected. It is reliable and the indicating lights provide insurance that the strip is on. Great value!

Greater than one weekHave had this for several months now, have spilled hot cocoa on it, a smoothie, and it is still doing its job. Lots of space and convenience, and the plug areas are well spaced out, so you can get in to plug and unplug even with bigger hands. Good value for the money.

Greater than one weekBought this for security and peace offend for charging electronics and running a shop vac off of a generator that we use at our cabin. Works great - no issues. IMO, an excellent value

10-06-2025Ive used and sold all of the APC upss great product, surge protectors not so much. But these have a surge rating, have led lights to its on and if you have a failure in the unit has a great warranty and cost less then some of the cheaper ones at your local Ace True value stores. I give it 4 stars because it is made in China.

> 3 dayEverything checks out, but I feel like had the switch were moved to the side, you’d have more room for another socket. Or, have room for those bigger power plug.

> 3 dayI only buy surge protectors that have EMI/RFI noise filtering. I have a sensitive short wave radio with a sleep timer that I use when going to sleep. It has a rechargeable battery so you can either use it plugged in or on battery power. Ive always had static on the radio when it was plugged into this surge protector. Cords generally do cause interference in radios so I thought nothing of it. But it started to get really bad. So I took one of my old tripplite surge protectors with emi/rfi noise filtering and plugged the radio into that. No static or interference on the radio at all. I went to APCs website to see if this model has EMI/RFI and it looks like it does....but it sure doesnt work well on mine. I dont want to disparage APC. I have several of their surge protectors. Just bought the big P12U2 model they have and love that one. I think it just has better circuitry than this budget model. Im using the P12U2 on my TCL 55 TV that was flickering and was glitchy turning on and off with a different surge protector from another company. Anyways, the ACP P12U2 works great and appears to have excellent noise filtering. Just wish the P12U2 had a flat plug because I bought it to use for my computer, but couldnt because I couldnt push my desk up against the wall with that straight out plug. Anyways, Ive strayed. This is a good basic surge protector I suppose. Would not recommend it for sensitive electronics prone to interference. Then again, maybe I just had a bad one, who knows. APC is a great brand. All my surge protectors are either APC or TrippLite. Cant go wrong either way.

> 3 dayTheres one minor issue with this, which is the mounting holes on the back. Theyre 3-sided (T-shaped) as you can see in the picture, and the one side thats missing is the orientation that you are most likely to want to mount it, with the three sideways plugs downward so that large power bricks fit there and hang downward. Other than that, its a quality product.
