    This 8-outlet power surge protector is a game-changer for anyone who needs to manage multiple devices efficiently while ensuring their safety. The build quality is excellent, with a durable casing that feels like it can handle years of use. The outlets are well-spaced, making it easy to plug in bulkier adapters without crowding. What truly sets this surge protector apart is its safety features. The surge protection rating is impressive, offering peace of mind for sensitive electronics like TVs, computers, and gaming consoles. I also appreciate the added bonus of indicator lights that show when the surge protection is active and when the outlets are properly grounded—this is such a reassuring touch. Would love to recommend this product without any secondary thoughts.

    The Insignia 8-Outlet Surge Protector has been a reliable addition to my setup. With 1,200 joules of protection, it gives me peace of mind when it comes to safeguarding my electronics. I appreciate the spacing of the outlets, allowing room for larger plugs without blocking others. It’s also sturdy and well-built, which makes it feel durable. My only minor critique is that it’s a bit bulkier than expected, but overall, I’m very satisfied. The black finish is sleek and blends well with my workspace.

    Definitely get for work from home. It’s not super heavy. It’s not super light. The plugs are pretty far for the four on the corner so any big cords that you have with big basis should be fine. the overheating saftey feature is amazing , i dont have to worry about a house fire even if I forget to completely power down, and my phones never over heat since , ive notice that too. I also got have the membership so ingot it for alittle less than half and I couldnt be happier with this purchase ! Cord is long also!

    Does the job, much cheaper than higher joule-rates surge protectors and works great. I have my desktop computer (750w) and laptop charger (550w) along with other charging and it works well. Form factor is slim and fits under my desk nicely.

    Happy with its size. Its small and works well for splitting the TV HDMI to be able to use either an XBOX or PlayStation by selecting the button for the appropriate input.

    Hey, it’s a power strip! What can I tell you about this? It’s sold under the Insignia label, Best Buy’s house brand that combines quality and value. The one I have is black. It has a six foot 14 gauge power cord with a space saving low profile offset plug in a matching black color. I hope I never find out how safe my connected devices are with 1,200 joules of protection against power surges. The description says it protects all three lines, line-neutral, line-ground, and neutral-ground. The two green leds let you know your devices are grounded and protected. I like the layout of the plugs, with widely spaced outlets so even the bulky power transformers can fit. I prefer this to the strips with the outlets placed close together. The back of the device has keyhole slots on five inch centers if you’d like to mount it to a wall or a piece of furniture. Rated at 15 amps at 125 volts AC. This model has eight power outlets but no provision to protect ethernet or coax cables. Guarantee provides $30k for connected equipment, also has a one year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

    I like that it connects up to 8 wall chargers at the same time and can accommodate bulky plugs. The 6 ft. long power cord is a good feature for easy location. It also has LED indicator that lets you know your surge protector is grounded and protecting your equipment.

    I needed a safe and uncluttered way to plug in my computer, monitors, router, modem, paper shredder and printer. This 8 outlet surge protector is just what I needed. The outlet are spaced out so non of the plugs are bunched up.
