    Slim design and has enough outlets for all my electronics for gaming, charging, and appliances. Has a simply on and off switch which allows me to control power usage when not in use, which I'd probably leave on since it's used every day.

    APC Essential SurgeArrest 7 Outlet Surge Protector

    I like this surge protector. It has 6 regular outlets, plus one at the bottom that you can use for a plug that’s bigger in size so it won’t prevent you from possibly being able to use an outlet. I really like that feature.

    usable outlets for awkwardly shaped/sized adapters

    I purchased this unit because the orientations and buffer space between outlets (particularly on the last two outlets) allowed me to plug in more awkwardly shaped/sized adapters simultaneously.

    Would be better if outlets were rotated 90 degrees. Also, plug also has an awkward angle.

    Excellent product + Nice price! Has its own box so product won't be scratched in shipping. APC looks like a good brand and I will continue to buy from them in the future for surge protectors.

    Never one to disappoint same level of quality as their line of battery backups, wall mountable, lots of sockets and most importantly spaced out far enough to accommodate even the largest power adapters to be able to use all of them!

    Quality surge strip with plenty of room for your outlets. I use this to charge headphones, phone, Apple watch, and as outlet for iron - and it handles it without hesitation
