I've used INSIGNIA surge protectors in various areas for years and they have always done the job well. We have had a lot of power outtages over the years (here in the tornado belt of northern Alabama) and have had no identifiable problems of equipment being damaged by power spikes. Surge protectorsDO have a limited life span and need to be replaced every few years - so I always go back to INSIGNIA

I had a power surge few months ago and lost several electical gadgets. In one case my local surge protector protected the TV but the protector was itself burned out. So I went to BB and replaced it. It has worked fine and was really easy to instrall.

We bought this surge protector for our grandmother whom we just moved to an assisted living facility. She wanted to have her TV area as uncluttered as possible so we went with this product since she’s only running a few things off of it.
The only gripe - and reason I gave it 4/5 stars - I have comes from the outlet layout. In order to make lots of room for the 4 outlets on either end, the middle outlets are very close together. Almost too close for some modern AV equipment. Thankfully, with my grandmother’s minimal equipment, this wasn’t an issue.
If you were wanting to use this for something like your home theater/AV setup then you might want to check and make sure all of your plugs can be accommodated with the tighter middle plugs.

Narrow power strips with the outlets all in a row aren't always very helpful when it comes to large sized transformers. This outlet is in more of a fat rectangle shape, and it makes a big difference. On a regular 8-outlet strip, I can only fit about four items because of really big transformers. This one allows me to use all the outlets.

Got it because the power coming through my house surges quite a bit during storms...fried my motherboard. Replaced the motherboard and made sure I had this before firing up my rig. The power still surges, but this keeps my motherboard safe. Highly recommended.

Bought this to replace a narrow type of surge protector that I'd been using for a while. The challenge with those being it is not very optimal when you have power adapters of different sizes, shapes.
This one is much better suited for my needs since the wide form factor and the spacing between the outlets makes it easier to plug adapters of different sizes.
I like the Insignia brand of products very much since they offer the same quality as a name-brand but at a much better price!

Great Surge Protector...In fact it my 3rd!

When I say its my third, I mean because I was impressed with the first two and bought the third to reign in the chaos of plugs in other parts of my house. This one is going to be my 2nd (yes 2nd) for my computer...I have that many external components, and a good surge protector with a lot of empty plugs is what I needed, and I did not want to pay $50 for one, so when I saw this at Best Buy the first time, I thought I would give it a try. Works great, no problems so far, and I can honestly say that even though I live in Florida, I really hope that it does not have to test the surge protection part of the surge protector.

Exactly what I was looking for at a price I liked. I had a big backup battery surge protector that kept beeping and cutting out. Plus, the outlets were too close together to fit the larger plugs conveniently. This one has very nicely spaced outlets and is much less expensive. I’ve been through a couple of outages since getting this and I have had no problems.

I bought this surge protector for the length of the cord and the number of outlets. I rearranged my living room and required a longer cord to reach my outlet. This hanged the job beautifully and was long enough to keep cable management a priority.

I have my 55 inch vizio, ps4, xbox one, wii u, onkyo surround sound system and my comcast cable box connect to it and never had a issue, no electrical shortage and looks to manage all the devices at once.

Gone are the days of having that one bulky plug that messes up the configuration of my power strip. I was looking for a power strip that can handle all of the bulky plugs that come with some electronics. At the price of this one compared to its competitors is an awesome product especially at it price! It is well designed and well thought out. It fit every plug for every product that I have in my room:
PS4
TV
Appletv
Nintendo Switch
Super NES classic
Computer
Monitor
Charger for 3DS
They all fit in the strip with no problems. I highly recommend!

I purchased this specifically because it had multiple "wall wart" capable outlets. I can't comment on its worth as a surge suppressor since I don't have anything plugged in that would overtly benefit from that feature. The build quality is good though, and the outlets grip what's plugged into them well.

Awesome Surge Protector

There are a few reasons why I would prefer this surge protector over any others I've looked at. First of all, I love that I can hang this on my wall behind my television - My TV is up pretty high and the cord doesn't reach the outlet or the ground. By hanging this surge protector on the wall, everything reaches without stretching the cords.
I also love that all the plugins on the surge protector are facing outwards. I have a lot of power supplies that would take up two plugins on my old surge protector, which was a huge waste. Now I'm able to utilize every plug.

It does what it's advertised to do; biggest thing I like about this is that the plug-in sockets are arranged around the power strip as opposed to the average power strip, which are all in a line. If you have a router or something similar that has a large power adapter, you can only plug it into the bottom socket of a line-type strip. If you happen to have any other large power adapters, you will have to cover up other sockets on the strip. With this product, you can plug in multiple larger power adapters if needed. Not a huge selling point, but something that has occasionally frustrated me in the past.

I decided to buy this outlet and give it a try - best decision ever. I can now plug everything in without have to adjust and readjust and prioritize which plug to unplug. It kind of defeats the purpose of having multiple outlets when you can only use one or two at a time. I have my computer, my son's computer, iPhone charger all plugged in at once. It is so amazingly convenient. I wish I would have purchased this a long time ago. Great purchase and useful.

Never seem to have enough power outlets these days

This is the second Insignia 8-Outlet Surge Protector Strip that I have purchased. The first one has protected my equipment for over 2 years now. When I needed more outlets and protection (as my electronics have increased), I immediately chose the strip because of reliability and price. Very satisfied. It does lack some of the bells and whistles of upgraded power strips (USB charging outlets, for instance) but I did not need them and went for the price (so I can use the savings for other purchases).

I bought this because I wanted a general power surge protector for all my plugs and I like the design. It helps a lot with clutter and the length is just the right amount to keep it hidden. I liked it so much I bought a second one.
