Because of this surge protector I was able to detect and repair 2 improperly installed outlets and a bad ground on an entire circuit. It all started when the "not grounded" light came on for one, and then several of my outlets as I got curious and tested them all. The first one ended up having a ground but reversed polarity (the hot wire was on the neutral side of the plug and vice versa). Another outlet turned out to have a bad plug (I had spares from replacing other outlets that were ugly/old). The remaining problem outlets were all on the same circuit and I was able to trace the problem to a junction box with poorly bonded grounds. I actually measured several Megohms of resistance from the neutral to the ground on these outlets and knew something was up. The resistance normally should be very low, a few at best. Other than that I couldn't really measure how well it "filters/cleans" the noise from the lines but everything appears to be working well. It's convenient that the outlets face lateral to the length of the strip as many newer power adapters stick out to the side.

If you are traveler this should be in your bag. Heck, even if you dont travel and have a laptop you need this. The best for frequent trips to airports with one of two power plugs. Provides great power protection.

great surge protecter with plenty of outlets can plug everything into one without using a bunch of extension cords easy to mount


We have purchased over 500 of these and never had a failure yet.

Does a great job, protected my Computer twice.

-Cheap -Equipment insurance in case of failure (never had to use this) -Reputable manufacturer -Black -6ft cord instead of 3ft -Dedicated power brick (wall wart) outlet, spaced down from other outlets at the bottom

great for the price point, works well!

Very long cord. Gets the job done. It is a surge suppressor not just a "Power Strip" Affordable protection at a decent cost.
