Customer Ratings & Reviews

Insignia's 1200J, 8-outlet surge protector is a slim, well-designed product. I appreciate the plug spacing which allows for use of devices with larger charging or power bricks. Other nice additions are the flush mount outlet plug and lengthy, offset power cord allowing for more versatile placement. The sockets are solid and hold the plugs firmly in place. The overall shell is not the most sturdy or premium design. There is some give and flex on some areas of the surge protector. However, given the price point it is on par with others in the same category. Seeing as how I can't simulate a power surge, I cannot speak to the overall protection abilities. What I can say is I have found no hot spots or heating issues with multiple devices plugged in. Overall I am pleased with the function and form of this surge protector. It is neatly tucked away behing my desk, powers my devices without issue, and has plenty of sockets for more devices should I need them. I would recommend this surge protector if you need an inexpensive outlet.

Didn't trust this brand at first, but this works just as good as the bigger brands!!

With Insignia being a Best Buy house brand, You get affordable products that fit your needs. This particular Surge Protector appears to be a replacement for the 8 outlet 600 joules design with this New 8 outlet 1200 joules design to be more compatible with todays electrical demands. This protector now has a 6 foot power cord which I think better accomodates todays larger credenzas for larger TV's or limited access to wall outlets. The protector that I am replacing is much heavier than the Insignia and leaves me to wonder whats under the hood so-to-speak! This is a very straight forward design and very small with 8 outlets that are well placed for spacing between cords. If I had to pick one outstanding feature...The plugs fit tightly into the sockets as if they were locked into place. I have had other protectors where the plugs were loose in the sockets and easily pulled out. There is a power button on the end and 2 LED's to let you know it is working. You should consider replacing your surge protector approximately every 2 years, especially if it is constantly powered on as it will eventually loose its ability to protect. One sign of that is if you start to see erratic behavior with your devices, especially if they power off unexpectantly.

This is a very useful product for a computer desk, where you need surge protection and also have a number of devices to plug in. In my situation, in addition to the computer, I have two monitors, a sound bar, a stand-alone scanner, a laser printer, and a color inkjet all-in-one. All told, that’s seven devices. That this surge protector has eight outlets is ideal. The outlets vary in their spacing so something like a large-ish power adapter, something common with computer speakers, can be plugged in without covering an adjacent outlet. The protector is light and easy to attach to solid surface. I have mine mounted on the inside of the foot space of my computer desk. Very convenient. There is a power switch on one end so the entire unit can be powered on and off. A surge protector is there to protect your electronics from an unexpected power surge, something you hope never happens. So just like a fire-escape on an apartment building, you put it in place hoping it’s never needed. But it also functions all the time as a power strip, and at the price of this one, it’s a very good investment.

Not much to say, it's just a surge protector that's likely better than the previous one. As I noted in my earlier review the new 55-inch 4K Samsung is great. I'm sure glad that the picture giving out on the previous Samsung didn't happen seven weeks ,say,later(Super Bowl Sunday)!

It's not hard to find a surge protector for your home. Finding a good surge protector, however, can be trying to say the least. There are an abundance of options out there that are under-powered, feature nonsensical outlet layouts, or just look ugly. This one is none of those. It's got pretty much all the features you might need for a surge protector for your computer or small appliances. The 1,200 joule rating is high enough to handle a high powered gaming rig, a few small appliances, or anything else you might be trying to plug into it. The low profile plug offsets cord to one side, helping make sure it won't block a standard outlet if plugged into the top position. The cord itself is long enough to give you plenty of options when positioning it and doing cable management. And the outlets are well laid out, with a 50/50 mix of closely grouped plugs suitable for standard three prong cords and separated ones that can accommodate larger power bricks without blocking the neighboring outlets. All in all, it's a solid pick for the home or office.

This is a very nice surge protector, with a thick sturdy 6 ft cable, and a 3 prong plug that plugs flush against your outlet. The surge protector has the on/off switch on the top, near the wire, which seems to make a lot more sense than putting the on/off switch on the face. It's actually incredibly lightweight, I was expecting it to be much heavier than it is. This surge protector has screw holes on the back so you can mount it flight against the wall. It also has a nice LED indicator to show if the sockets are grounded and protected. I really like how the wire is thick, but not too heavy, because it's doesn't bunch up and cause the surge protector to turn on it's side. I think the one downside is this device doesn't have any USB-A or USB-C plugs, which would have been a really nice addition. Overall, pretty happy with this surge protector. It's pretty basic, but it seems like it's very well made, and overall feels sturdy. The flat plug is a huge plus for me, because I am feeding the wire behind my computer desk, which sits flush against the wall.

Great power strip, running my laptop, WiFi and air conditioning lol.

I honestly don’t remember even buying this. I come to Best Buy so often. Lol

Really like the design of this power strip, it may take up more space, but it’s worth it for the spacing between the outlets.

I needed a surge protector, and this fills the bill. Would highly recommend.

Great surge protector for large transformer plugs. 4 outlets are far a part to accommodate these plugs.

It's working great and haven't had any more issues with fuse shorting.

Great surge protector… this is the fourth I have purchased.

Got this for my tv cable and video games it’s been working like a charm since!

Excellent condition works flawlessly i highly recommend to anyone to buy it.

The plug is flat so I don't have to worry about hitting items on it.
