strictly average--and I'm NOT writing home about it... June 14, 2008

This surge protector from Belkin does a good job of protecting electronic equipment from any damage or problems should there be a power surge. I have used this product for a while now with an older computer. You do get a warranty with this mechanism, too.

The surge protector benefits from a simplistic design; for people like myself this is certainly sufficient to protect my older computer and printer. I guess it could protect stereo systems, too, if they're not too sophisticated. There are six power outlets that also, of course, allow you to protect and plug in six things all at once. Just plug in the surge protector into an electrical outlet and there you are.

The cord does extend not much more than two and one-half feet and that's a definite minus. Some people remark that it's tough to see the on/off buttons but I haven't had a problem with that. Oh, well.

Obviously, I would never use this to light up a fish tank or place it near anything liquid. That could clearly start a fire. I also wouldn't trust this surge protector to protect any major appliances; it seems a bit too basic for that serious a workload.

Overall, I have had no problems with this Belkin surge suppressor--but it's equally true that it's a very basic surge protector that doesn't really lend itself for heavy duty use. That cord is way too short, too! I recommend this product either as an emergency spare surge protector or as a surge protector for older computers or other electrical appliances that are not heavy duty.

It works, but I regret this choice. I overlooked the short cord (2 1/2') which limits it's usefulness. The orientation of the outlets makes it a poor choice for use with converters, since most will cover 2 outlets.

The 6' cord is nice, and otherwise not really any complaints...
except the on off switch is in a kinda awkward place, and its hard to tell wether its on or off.

chaep and small, very small October 22, 2008

this is a very cheaply made item. the holes are very close together making use of an adaptor impractical asi it covers 2-3 of the outlets (depending on adaptor size. i paid 7 and feel ripped, at 4 would have been fair. another big problem is there is no on-off switch nor any lights indicating it is on (i should have looked at the pic)...this is a huge problem for me. my other outlet plugs have a main on-off switch which i find need of many times. seeing how cheap this is, how small, i wonder IF it will really do the job of protecting...how does one ever know until a fatal strike to equipment. i guess one is paying for the belkin name.

Works fine...! September 21, 2007
This inexpensive little surge protector is working just fine, thank you! If I want to save some money next time I need one of these babies, I'll know where to go for one.
