APC Surge Protector, White Power Strip PH8W, 2160 Joules, Flat Plug, 8 Outlet Power Strip

I chose this because of the good reviews for protection of the expensive equipment that would be plugged in. I had ordered a different one and it arrived but after reviewing reviews and seeing the shape of it, we sent that one back because it would not work well with Apple products. This one works perfectly with the Apple products and we will keep it.

Item appears to be of high quality. The outlets are well spaced out and accommodate different shapes of plugs. The two LEDs showing that both the unit is powered on and the the surge protection is working are a nice addition.

I bought 3. I currently use one for my laptop/monitors, the second for my TV, Wi-Fi, gaming console, and the third one at my boyfriends apartment for his TV, gaming console, etc. I ordered this one because of the USB ports, room for different size plugs, the flat plug, white color to look less dusty, and 2160 joules to protect my electronics if there was lightening spike. I like that theres an indicator light that shows if the surge protection is actively working, rather than some power strips that just have a fake light for the power button. The bottom of it also does say it is ETL listed which is always always good for insurance purposes. Ive had this since early February and havent had any issues yet.

Theres 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.

The best thing about this surge protector is the plug in just takes up one spot on the outlet. The protector itself has done nicely spaced connections but would be difficult to use them all and probably not wise to do so. Flat thus does not take up much room. Appears well made and a good value. Likely will buy again.

I cannot vouch for its Effectiveness because we did not have a significant power surge or outage since I purchased this. Hopefully it acts and responds is Good As It Seems

Reliably high quality. Their name still means something.

I really wanted a flat connection to the wall in a certain area in my house to optimize space. Originally I had one that was not a flat connection, and I had to have furniture stick out from the wall. Now with a flat one I have been able to reduce that space and it looks much cleaner and the space feels larger. The switch to turn it off and on is easy to access and I can plug lots of items into it. I researched a lot of surge protectors looking at both design and safety and so far this has fit my needs.

I have always used APC power strips they offer great protection for electrical equiptment. You cannot go wrong.
