Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Components F9M923-08 9-Outlet Maximum SurgeMasterCustomer Review: It Really, Really Works Summary: 5 Stars
Last night, my home was hit by a stray power surge. According to the electrician who came this morning, the surge was drawn to my 2 surge protectors. The first was this Belkin model (5 years old) protecting my computer and equipment. The 2nd was a cheap protector from Ace protecting the TV and satellite receiver. Both protectors are, of course, now dead. And both successfully did their jobs so that all of my electronic equipment was saved.
HOWEVER, there was an arc flash (I think that's what the fire is called) at the Ace protector. It melted and twisted;black soot covers the protector and the wood floor around it; black stain is on the receiver plug prongs where it was plugged into the protector. And there was a terrible bang! With the Belkin SurgeMaster--NO PROBLEMS! The electrician says that the cheaper protector could not handle the voltage. He praised the capacity of the Belkin SurgeMaster and said its quality prevented any further damage, saved my computer equipment, and also prevented another fireball. It did just what it was supposed to do.
Needless to say, I'm convinced. No flash or arc from the Belkin and no fear of a fire (which I never, never want to see again). I've ordered 2 more Belkin SurgeMasters of this exact model for both my computer and the TV setup. I'll never be without them again. It was a very scary experience, especially the fireball, and all I have to do is make sure I'm using a good Belkin protector so that I don't have a repeat. I'm positive that the Belkin is what saved my computer. Thank goodness for this excellent product!
