    I purchased these for work and it was the 1080 Joules thatvsold me on the product. We needed aomething that would be reliable and the fact that it comes with guaranteed protwction was a plus. Not all protectors have this bonus feature and with all the weather changes and thunderstorms we need to protect our electrical equipment

    Wish the outlets were distanced further because most of the plugs on devices are big and blocky. No surges yet to test it, so fingers crossed.

    Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

    Good value priced surge protector. Slim and able to be placed along walls or behind desks for minimum obtrusiveness. Six outlets allow for access to all major peripherals (monitor, printer, etc.).

    This is not the most expensive or most technologically advanced surge suppressor. BUT for under $50 it is a surge suppressor with a $1M guarantee to replace any product damaged due to a lightning strike.

    If you’re going to get a budget friendly option do it here. You spend so much money on your stuff so don’t trust it to cheap imports. It may not be the best one on the market but at least I know it’s safe.

    Respectable, Affordable Surge Suppressor

    This is a decent, respectable, affordable surge protector. I’ve had it for a few months now, and it’s performing well. The only caveat I’ll add is that you must take care not to overload this one. I tried plugging in a genuine Apple iPhone charger and a genuine Apple iPad charger at the same time. Plugging in the second charger caused the surge protector outlet to spark, consistently. I researched this a bit and determined I’d basically overloaded this surge protector. So I recommend you use this one for light-to-medium-duty charging. Only plug in one 12 amp charger at a time.

Your insights about usage and load limitations are very helpful, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s important to use the product within its recommended capacity, and your tip about sticking to light-to-medium-duty charging is a great reminder for others.
