    Solid Surge Protector for Good Price

    This surge protector was exactly what I was looking for. It has enough outlets to accommodate my TV and accessories, as well as a modem and router. The spacing between the outlets allows for a few plugs with wider bases to fit. I have no complaints so far.

    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!

    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.

    Exactly what I needed. Better safe than sorry I say. I like how the plugs are not so close together that it makes impossible to connect some things. This has the plugs far apart making it easier to connect pretty much anything with no issues.

    It was hard to find a surge protector with more than 6 outlets that did NOT have a flat space-saving prong. I can't use those in the outlet where I needed it. This one has a traditional (stick out) three prong outlet that doesn't impede the other socket.

    This simple surge protector carries eight outlets - and four of those have been optimized for power converter blocks. I just wish there was a way to reset a surge protector instead of making it a one-time-use product, but this is one item you would much rather have when you needed it.

    Works perfectly as intended. It's great how the outlets are a good distance from each other so it's not too hard to plug in large bricks. I will say that it's a tad loose for my tastes (too much wiggling can bring a plug a bit loose) but it's not a huge problem.

    This product is spacious and I'm able to plug in all my devices worry-free. Does everything it says on the tin. Wouldn't mind paying a little less for an item like this.

    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.

    So great to have adequate outlets for everything, also surge protection is very good as I lost a tablet to a power outage. This is a bit larger than I might like but It fits in the space adequately

    I REALLY NEEDED a new power strip with fuse for my coputer desk as the old one died on me, I was really nervous because of the reviews on this unit, but needed something affordable, I had NO problems plugging in anything at all, regardless of the size of the plug. This was easy to install and has been exactly what I needed!~ A+

    Luckily I haven't had to check if the surge protection part works yet, but the power strip is a lifesaver. I have quite a few large plugs that I'd have to rotate that because our old power strip had all the outlets close together, so only certain components in our entertainment center could be plugged in at the same time due to space on the strip; so this works perfectly to solve our power dilemma.

    Got this one on sale and have no ragrets. Needed a surge protector outlet before I melt the back of my computer again. (I get a lot of surges in my area)

    Bought 4 of these for our computers, routers and modems in different rooms. Don't expect much from the limited 600 joules, but the outlet placement is great.

    It's good I can plug everything I need to. I wish that the cable that plugged into the wall was flat. That way I can put my tables and stuff closer to the wall. That's the only downfall

    I needed a wide power strip for multiple larger bricks while not being too big itself, and this one fit the bill. No operational issues at all.
