    I bought this to use in my son's room but when I tried plugging a cord in I was only able to get it into one of the spots. Let koi go at the outlets closer it appeared that most of them were defective and obstructed

    Seems to do as advertised. Had no damage from the one power surge I know of. But, outlets are too close together on the strip to be able to utilize every one.

    3 of the 7 sockets didn't work at all i.e. I couldn't plug my devices in them. It seems these were never tested. These are going back.

    Outlet plugs should be on back instead of top.

    Plugs on back cause unit to tip towards back. This makes unit hard to use. plugs should be on back so unit faces up and not tipped over.

    I got it home and could not push the prongs into the sockets. Took it back and the rep pushed really hard and got prongs in. I don't know why it was so hard to push in. Also the outlet needs to be grounded and my house is so old not grounded. The energy saver does not work without ground.

    I purchase this unit to protect several devices. The problem is the unit keeps turning off to save energy. I couldn't out how to shut off the energy saving mode of the unit so I had to stop using it.

    A Good Standard Surge Protector

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I replaced my old surge protector w/ this new one and it works on my cable box, 55" tv and surround sound. This surge protector only being $20.00 was half price compared to the other surge protectors at Best Buy. But when I got home I realize this new protector doesn't have an internet cable connection so I had to connect my cable the regular way not through the surge protector like I had previously. Which was not a big deal for us. Also, there is 2 plugs that are Energy Savers on the protector but to use that function you have to manually turn the function on & off at the surge protector.

    So far so good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased this surge protector for my entertainment center, and so far it seems to work well. We have not had a power surge yet, so I am hoping it works well in that situation. It just fit all of the cords for our current entertainment electronics (tv, cable box, router, blu-ray, X-Box), so maybe next time I buy I might go with a bigger surge protector in case we want to add more plugs. The only thing I am unhappy about is the energy savings part- you have to cut off energy to certain plugs, and I wish you could be more selective in which plugs you cut off energy to. It is not the biggest deal though.
