Works well, nice flat plug to fit behind furniture.

this was something i had look for since it very used cable

Very good product. Sits well on ground. I recommend

This is good one for the price I got and works good .

This is for sure pretty expensive, and although this is of great quality I wouldn't recommend purchasing this at full price.

Does what I need it to do, only issue is I wish all of the plug outlets were spaced out instead of just a few.

large enough to connect many outlets, just didn't like the price of the unit.

I plugged it in and it popped and started to smoke

The Insignia 8 Outlet 1200 Joules Surge Protector is the only one I would buy and it suits my needs perfectly. With a $30,000 connected equipment guarantee and being UL certified, this is a surge protector I know I can trust. With 8 outlets (all grounded) and 4 of those being spaced out enough for larger block plugs, I have used 2 of these surge protectors for my multimedia center and I still have 4 empty outlets for later use. With the 6' cord, I can reach the wall outlet so easily. I so often have an issue where my surge protector cord is 3' long and it won't quite reach where I need it to go. Not with this one - this is the perfect length for me. The one missing item - USB ports. But then again, if that was really important to me for this particular use, I would have purchased one that had those. I would highly recommend this Insignia 8 Outlet 1200 Joules Surge Protector. Knowing I am safe and secure from power surges and with empty plugs for later system additions, I wouldn't choose anything else.

I like the low profile right offset wall plug as it makes room for other plugs in the wall outlet. The protector is also slim in design although that is not important in my application. So far, it works well, but be careful of the on/off switch on the end of the protector as it is easy to bump and turn off. The LED lights at one end on top show when it is powered on. The spacing for wall warts on all 4 outer plugs allows room for more than just narrow plugs and is well thought out and designed. The diameter of the extension cord wire would suggest this can handle the full 15 amps (1875 watts) of the power supply source, but I did not verify the gauge wire they use. I cannot rate the joules capacity of the surge protector but will assume it is as advertised. The only addition I would ask for is to have a couple of USB-A and a couple of USB-C power taps on the end with the LEDs. Just from a visual perspective, it appears to be well built with high quality components. A quality product for a cheap price.

I bought this to use. After I plugged in the 3rd one in. It stop working

Made a loud popping sound and stop working. Only had it for few days

The Insignia 8-outlet surge protector provides ample expansion of a wall outlet along with the piece of mind of protection against electrical surges. It's rated to 1200 joules, so perhaps it is not the best, protection-wise, for very high end computers or home theater equipment, but it's good for smaller electronics. The cord is very long, which does provide some placement versatility but for many you may need to some cord management. The device's switch is on the end near where the cord enters. The 8 outlets are smartly placed to allow for AC adapters to fit, with an arrangement of 2 outlets, a large space, then 4 outlets clustered, and then another gap before the final two. Two green LEDs provide indication of grounding and protection, which is helpful. While unobtrusively black, it was surprisingly glossy in places and was a magnet for fingerprints. That may not matter much if you're hiding it behind or underneath furniture, but it's something to be aware of if placing in a more conspicuous location. Overall, this is a perfectly serviceable surge protector for small electronic devices. The plug placement is good for adapters and the cord is plenty long enough.

The Insignia 8-Outlet 1,200 Joules Surge Protector is a relatively small package for lite duty surge protection. When searching for any surge protection you should determine what amount of Joules protection you may need. For example a simple search finds a Joules rating of 1,000 to 2,000 is recommended for basic electronics such as cell phones, laptops and other office devices. For something like a TV you should be looking at a Joules rating of 3,000 or more. Another factor might be if the surge protector offers insurance coverage. This Insignia protector offers up to $30,000 of insurance protection. Probably the most important feature is the A/C plug layout and if you can get all of the devices you need connected. I think Insignia has made a good decision here as you could get up to 4 of the wider A/C power adapters and 4 of the normal A/C plugs on this protector. Although any adapter might take up more than you planned. The surge protector has two LED indicators. One to indicate you have a good ground and the second to verify you are actually protected. There is a master on/off switch which is always welcomed. The power cord is long at 6FT for such a light duty protector. It's worth mentioning that the A/C plug is shaped so that you don’t block the second A/C outlet when plugged in. The size at around 8.5” long and 3.5” wide is nice and compact. It is also slotted on the bottom if you want to wall mount. Being such a compact protector it could even fit on a desktop. There is no USB charging. Overall it's a nice compact unit that can be used almost anywhere. This is a relatively light duty surge protector and there are lots of choices if you're looking for a feature left off here. I have always found Insignia to be a good value and do perform as expected. How any surge protector performs in its lifetime is impossible to predict. It's a good idea to choose your electrical devices from a brand you know.
