    Got this to replace one hit by lightning. I really like how each outlet is spaced to allow for large ones from my phone, router and computer. The color is very sleek and it blends in with the surroundings.

    The perfect size surge

    I needed a surge with ample sockets since setting up my new work station at home. This one is perfect because some plugs, like our printer for example, have bulky heads so standard surges end up having you lose out on sockets since the larger head blocks the socket next to it. This surge was spaced out well enough to accommodate both bulky and regular sized plugs.

    I love the these power strips. I bought more than 1 because I had multiple items I needed to protect from surges. They are durable & work amazing for multiple things!

    Sleek design. Though I was worried about its effectiveness because it felt so light, it did the job and protected my daughter's bearded dragon tank's lights and heater when we had a power surge. Thanks to this power strip, I didn't have to spend a few hundred on new lights and heater.

    Excellent -- because I travel a lot -- I needed this for my hotel room and other places where outlets are limited. And I loke the spacing between the outlets -- great for those large plugs!!!

    I purchased this strip specifically for the outlet orientation. The Power adapters of my LG monitors were very wide and long below the outlet which was very problematic on a standard power strip as I couldn’t use any of the other outlets once the monitors were plugged in. Now, I am able to use every outlet without needing another power strip

    A departure from your typical store branded generic items, the Insignia 8-outlet Surge Protector Strip looks great with a few design ideas that made it more useful. Like the spaced out outlets for power warts if you have ever gotten frustrated with other 8 outlet strips that you can only plug in 2 or 3 warts. You can actually use up to most of these outlets. Thumbs up and 5 stars for Best Buy on this one.

    If your the kind of person that doesn’t like chords running every which way from your tv area or computer desk this helps. Not to mention protecting your electronics from power surges.

    This is just what I needed. It's compact,so that it does not take up a lot of space. There is ample plug in outlets for all of my computer needs. I like the color black as it goes with everything and does not stick out like sore thumb. The price was very reasonable compared to others simular. Overall,this is a giod buy.

    Good Functionality & Price for a Surge Protector

    The first website I visited to look for surge protectors was Best Buy. I found great options and found a good range of prices to choose from. I chose the Insignia 8 Outlet surge protector because it would be great to use for our TV set and other devices that we connect to the TV and also because of the big spaces in between outlets when using larger sized plugs. Great fit for what we needed!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Not much to say. Does its job. hard to find lightning strikes to test how well, but so far no issues. Other than that the spacing is decent for fat and skinny plugs to optimize space on them.

    No issues with this thing yet. I like that it's got some outlets spaced farther apart so I can fit the bulky plugs without blocking any other ports.

    Insignia 8 outlet surge protector strip has worked well for me. I have had no problem since using this power strip. I have used more expensive power strips and this one works just as well if not better. Insignia products are generally a money-saving buy. I often buy the instead if the main brand name products.

    Good Product

    I had been in the market for a new surge protector. One that had enough outlets to fit all my electronics, even with the irregular plugs that some may have (like the Harmony remote, Amazon Fire TV Stick, etc). This product is great, however it does feel cheaply made. The first time being used is a bit tough, but all it takes is a sturdy hand and once the plug is inserted all the way, it becomes easier to take things in and out. I have considered also getting a label maker to make it easier to identify what is what. So far has removed some of the clutter that I had with wires going everywhere with the standard strip that I was using before.

    Great eight outlet search protector. Dylan allows you to plug it up to eat different devices. I have my entire entertainment set up plugged in to the Surge Director. I’ve had in a while and very happy with it.
