Having bought a new 4K flat screen TV from Best Buy, I wanted to go the next step and protect the purchase by acquiring a quality multi outlet surge protector. Obviously went back to Best Buy and had the staff there provide the options and decided on the Panamax 8-Outlet Surge Protector that enabled me to have multiple electronic plugs and a reasonably priced but high quality surge protecting device to protect my purchase. The Panamax device looks really sharp and fits the area behind the TV just right. I’m very pleased with the choice and the purchasing experience at Best Buy!!!

Replaced my old unit with this new one. So far no problems. It provides all the inputs I need for my hi-amp receiver, 4K TV, ROKU, and DVD players. Should be a good investment for my home theatre setup.

The basic question to ask about a power distributor/power conditioner/ surge protector is "Does it do its job?" The answer here is a qualified "yes." I only have a few quibbles. First, be aware that the electronics loss or damage warranty provided with this product covers you only if you have grounded power. That's not surprising, as surge protectors in this price range simply pass off to the ground the excess energy that a surge provides. If, however, like me, you live in a place like San Francisco where most homes do NOT have ground circuitry, you are not going to be able to reap the benefits of this unit's surge protection and you won't have warranty coverage for your products that die in a surge. That's not a criticism of this unit per se, but anyone buying in this price range should be aware of the limitations of entry-level surge protection technology. Second, another product of this unit's price point is that it only offers eight outlets. It used to be easy to find units in this price range with ten outlets. (That's what I need and the unit that this one replaces -- destroyed in a power surge -- offered ten outlets at about this price point.) Now, however, it seems that manufacturers are economizing at his price point by providing a smaller number of outlets. Third, and most importantly, the design of this unit makes it unfriendly to those who have a lot of wall warts or similar power adaptors. Half of the outlets are on the side of the unit, not on its top, and its short form factor makes the side outlets usable only for power cords if you want the unit to lie flat on the floor or wall as intended. In my case, because I had so many adaptors and because the outlets on the top of the unit are placed so close to one another, the workaround was standing the unit on its side between my tv cabinet and the wall, so that the side with the power cord outlets faces upwards and thus can be used for adaptors that otherwise would not fit if the unit were flush with a floor or wall. Once in place, the unit doesn't seem to have a negative impact on television image, system sound, or power stability. So, all in all, this does what it's supposed to do, more or less, as a power distributor and conditioner and, if you can ground it, I assume it also will work well as a surge protector.

We tend to experience power issues/outages in the winter months where I live. Having strong line protection is important in protecting my expensive components. This product was recommended by staff. I've been using it a little over a month with my TV, a/v receiver, Blu-Ray player, set top box and sub-woofer. So far, so good. It's a little expensive, but I think it's a good value when I consider what it is doing.

I needed a power conditioner and surge protector for our tv, soundbar, DVD player, router etc. I replaced the 2 surge protector power strips we were using. This has 8 outlets, power conditioning, surge protection All on one unit. I picked it for the warranty and the fact I would only need the one Panamax. I liked it so much I bought a second one for the bedroom. I highly recommend it to protect your tv investment. The reviews were great

This upscale surge protector was recommended by the Best Buy salesman in view of the new Samsung 60" UHD LED TV which I had just purchased. I do like the 8 plug-in outlets and the great peace of mind I receive from the surge protection.

I have a rack mounted Panamax unit for my home theater system. However, in the bedrooms, where I have "stand-alone", wall-mounted TVs, I use this Panamax because it easily mounts on the wall behind each TV. I am a proponent of this particular model because it conditions the power and also shuts down in low-voltage situations. Voltage spikes can obviously damage equipments but, low-voltage conditions can be just as devastating. I think a power conditioning unit is always better if your budget allows for it. Years ago, a Panamax power conditioner saved thousands of dollars of connected equipment from a spike that destroyed non-connected devices. Ever since, I've been a believer and only rely on Panamax.

The surge protector gives me confidence that my TV is protected. Lot of slots to connect addition equipment.

Great warranty for this surge protector, haven't had any issues we were having before , would recommend .

The Panamax - 8-Outlet Power Conditioner/Surge Protector works great. It improved the sound and picture. Easy to install

This strip elleminated em noise and helped cancel or the spikes from a dirty power grid.

This item has a great warranty. It also has a high level of protection.

easy to use and setup- just as advertised, great protection for the money

I wanted this to help protect the two laptops, a printer, and a Sonos Play:3 in the office. It's been doing a great job. Yes it's over kill, but at least I know my products will be properly protected. I especially like design as it makes plugging everything into it easier than the closely spaced power extenders or cheap surge protectors.

To start off, I'll say Panamax does not come cheap. However, everything that is plugged into this power condition will most likely be more expensive. So why not spend the money on proper protection. The reason I bought this conditioner is because I recently suffered a brown out, that's when there isn't enough power to go around, and my Xbox One is now dead. I was lucky my television, soundbar, Roku, PS4 and ORBI all survived but it really got me thinking since they were all connected to the same power strip. I didn't want to lose anything else so I decided to step up and spend a little extra money now, so I wouldn't have to later. The design is great, the outlets are high quality, and it is easily wall mountable. The high current outlets and filtration definitely make a difference, I instantly saw better black levels in dark scenes on my television when powered by the panamax vs my other power strip. Save yourself some pain in the future and buy a panamax.

We bought her a new tv with the Panamax Power Conditioner Surge Protector. The picture looks sharp; she can read the script on the shopping channel (her favorite channel). The sound is wonderful, too. Made her very happy!

So far, I have been pleased with this product. Everything can plug into this, and it isn't overly bulky (like some ohter items along these lines). I haven't gone through a major storm with it yet, but I have every expectation that my pricey electronics will be protected.

This is a quality surge protector. I am using it to protect my wife's very expensive embroidery machine and sewing machines. My son also has one and is using it for his large LED flat screen TV and XBOX One systems. 8 outlets is more than adequate for power sources and the extra outlets are great for charging phones and digital cameras batteries as well.

After having a friend lose her house to fire caused by a defective power outlet/surge protector this was a no brainer! Warranty is sensational & proven - has given us piece of mind & well worth the price

Panamax makes the best surge protectors in my opinion. We just replaced all the surge protectors in our house with Panamax. I have 3 different models and would buy them all over again if needed.
