When we recently experienced a freak power surge at our home, we had four Insignia - 7-Outlet Surge Protectors plugged in with laptops and electronics plugged into them. The surge fried four small appliances and our front-load washer. The surge protectors melted to the floor, but protected our laptops and electronics. The power company told us without the surge protectors, the back surge of power would have blown our laptops and electronics. I went out and replaced every single one with exactly the same ones I had. It was worth it.

I needed an additional outlet for my laptop and monitor, and decided to go for this as it was a decent price. As stated above, it does what it intends to do, supplying power to my electronics while providing protection against unexpected surges. It even has a feature where you can, for example, connect your computer to a master slot that controls the remainder of the slots. So when my laptop is in sleep mode or turned off, my monitor will automatically turn off to conserve power.

I was about to give up finding a medium size surge protector with special features but as usual Best Buy came to the rescue. This has seven outlets and one for the master and can learn your system for turning on/off peripheral devices. I am very pleased.

The 7 plug surge protector is exactly as advertised . Multiple plugs and seems effective against normally occurring power surges.

At the heart of the unit it's a surge protector, but it also has master plugs which are a great feature. When I turn on my computer it senses it and powers other outlets to 'turn on'. This is a great feature as I have two additional backup drives attached and never have to power them on manually. It also provides always on outlets and this makes it a very versatile unit for a reasonable price. Highly recommened.

I live in a apartment building that's kind of old and am somewhat concerned about surges even though we rarely have outtages. I like to have this one thing for all of my electrical outlets for tv s lamps electronics etc; as my stuff is protected from power surges. If you have precious electonics that you cannot afford to replace spend the $$ on the best you can get replace them once a year Believe me it is well worth it!!

Bought this power strip initially because it was the only one that had a right angle plug. The space I was using it was confined so I could have the wire stick out. This product has worked as expected. I like the switchable power saving feature for items that don't always need to be powered. Reasonable price, good buy.

I bought this to help protect my new gaming PC from a power surge. I've lost power suddenly a few times, with the computer plugged in and turned on, and there was no damage to it. So it seems to be doing the job well. The cord is a few feet, and is flexible enough that I'm able to wind it around furniture a bit.

I needed a thin surge protector, and finding 1 with the option to turn off the draw to certain plugs was a pleasant surprise. This is a great way to fight back against vampires that are constantly drawing juice, even when they are off. The option to turn that feature on and off makes this protector doubly useful.

It does its job well. I needed a surge protector with many outlets and this works well for me. I basically got it so I would not blow up any of my expensive equipment in the event we had a power outage or a power surge. Hasn't happened yet and am praying it works should we have one.

This isn't your typical surge protector. It has this neat feature where you can plug in your tv into the main outlet. Then have up to 4 devices shutoff automatically when the main one shuts off. So now my Xbox and surround sound turn off when my tv goes off. I only have to press one button. Easy.

great product for the price just had to look for it, they don't put it were the expensive ones are because you don't need a high dollar surge protector. just pay attention to how many power outages it will last before you need to replace it.

This is a wonderful product at a great price. It's an essential for small college dorm rooms where outlets aren't always placed in the perfect place. My daughter is now able to hook up all her cool devices and store on her desk where they should be.

I have several devices that I use at the same time within my home office. I needed an outlet surge protector that would cover my laptop, wireless phone and television against power outages common in my region. So far, so good.

I was a little concerned by it's fancy feature in this power strip, seeing as I've never seen a power strip with fancy features before.
I plugged my pc into the master port. This smart strip will detect that a good amount of power is being used, and will allow power to the other plugs. In my case, a monitor and some speakers.
When I put my PC to sleep or turn it off, the strip notices that I'm not using the pc and will cut power to the other plugs. Thus, saving energy.
Great if your using it at a desk, but I wouldn't use it with a bunch of lamps or anything. Turn off the wrong thing, and they all turn off.
On the other hand, that could be cool if you want to turn on multiple lights at once :3
