Customers also find comfort in the reliable surge protection it provides for their devices. While some wish it had USB ports and a longer cord, most agree that it works well and serves its purpose.

    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.

    There is plenty of space in between outlets so that square and rectangular shape plugs can be accommodated. It is a well designed surge protector. I live in an area where we frequently have surges and this protector does its job.

    A great power strip

    I have bought multiple of these power strips for different things around my home and I am loving it. Having 8 outlets is good for spacing out plugs and organizing them. It is just the right length for the reach I need and takes up a lot less space than other power strips. I would highly recommend purchasing one of these.

    Outlet layout great

    Chose because of the layout of the plugs as some of our items have the larger piece at the end rather than the middle. In addition, I selected because of the surge protection. It does feature power indicator lights and on/off switch. I purchased as Deal of the Day item; that combined with the layout & surge protection led me to purchase this unit, the on/off switch a bonus.

    Does the Job

    This is a good surge protector that hasn't given me any issues at all. The outer 4 plugs have some extra spacing, which is really nice and lets me plug in the bigger power bricks from my router and modem and still have access to the other outlets. The wall plug is straight, which isn't an issue for me, but something to be aware of if your outlet is behind a couch or something.

    Great outlet strip to give me more options to connect stuff and space in between for big devices to plug in. I liked that I could shut the outlet strip off all at once and back on again when getting back home. The surge protection is good to keep my electronics safe if there is an outage.

    Picked this up along side a Xbox Series X console for added protection as I was running out of outlets for my devices in my theater area. Great purchase sets up well works great and the layout for the outlets is just right. I am happy with it.

    connected my tv sound bar and subwoofer, my 70" tv, xbox one, ps4, nintendo switch, my wifi router, and have had zero issues for the past month! Everything powers on fine and the color blends in well with my console! I can definitely reccomend for anyone on the market for a surge protector strip! :)

    It’s on the bulky side, but it does what it needs to do. Might find a more sleek/slim option in the near future.

    Purchased this before we had bad weather just in case we got ice. Years ago we had to replace all electronic in the house due to them being zapped during an ice storm. Do not want to go through that again! So far this has worked just fine. I will be purchasing more of these for around my house.

    Terrific design for a great price

    Unlike typical bar style protectors, this item spaces out half of the outlets. That gives you enough room for four big block adapter plugs that usually hog the whole protector. If you compare prices to similar units, you will definitely choose this one. It does not have phone plug outlets, but don't we all have enough of those anyway?

    I got it for a steal because the box was torn. All those sockets?! Yes please! Two tvs, a game system, a wifi router, and possibly an AC in the winter.

    Wish it was 2000 joules surge protection

    It does what it's supposed to do. I just wish the cord was twice as long and the 600 joules surge protection was at least 2000 joules surge protection. It does work. We had a surge and I was charging my laptop and I noticed it had stopped charging. The surge protector had turned off. So -- I believe -- it cut off when the surge hit. I hope so anyway.

    This Insignia brand works great! I didn't feel the need to spend a lot on a particular item such as this, and I am pleased with my purchase (I would have exchanged it otherwise) I like the color and the double-sided strip better than a single strip.

    Having recently upgraded to a new 4K TV, the next logical thing to do was protect the investment with a multI outlet surge protector. Went with a quality TV and so bought a quality surge protector by Insignia. Reasonably priced and with great reviews.

    What I like about this powerstrip is that the outlets are spaced far enough apart to accommodate "power bricks". Eight outlets works for me.

    Useful surge protector at reasonable price

    I have electronics all over the house and barn, so I like to have surge protectors handy. I bought this one because of the price and the number of outlets. Since many of my electric toys have bigger plugs, the oversized spots are extremely handy. I have used this with everything from laptops, iPhones, sewing machines, treadmills, stationary bikes, and televisions.

    I have a bunch of TV, DVD player, Roku Stream stick, cable box, etc etc to plug in and this Insignia 8-outlet surge protector gives me peace of mind to know it can handle all my devices. I recommend anyone who has a lot of plugs behind their TV's to consider this surge protector so that you don't have an overload or surge that causes damage to your stuff or home.
