Customer Review: Best Power Strip Known to Man
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in an old brownstone apartment, the kind that happily sports one power outlet per room. I previously had two six-port power strips in my living room (hooking up a computer and a TV, plus all the other bits that go along with them, hard drives, routers, game systems etc). The two six-port strips were useful, of course, turning two outlets into twelve.
But of course, in a perfect world, one item's plug would not need to cover two ports! And of course, they all have delusions of grandeur, and some even wanted to cover three ports. So after some research, I found this gem. It's saved my living room from dying in a sea of power strips!
It was definitely a great resolution for the annoying plugs problem and worth every penny.
Customer Review: Excellent surge protector
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this surge protector to replace one that apparently did not do its job (i.e. I wound up losing a hard drive due to a surge). So far so good with this one, and luckily I haven't had a surge (knock on wood) while owning it. The pivoting outlets are incredibly convenient as is the wire fastener. If you plan on mounting this unit to a wall be sure to provide enough space between any base-board moulding you may have and the unit to accommodate an outlet pointing directly downward with a power block connected. This surge protector also comes with an "Items Connected" warranty with very good coverage (under specific circumstances), so definitely read the paper included in the packaging describing the coverage if it's something you may need.Customer Review: Some Nit-Picking
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love the pivoting outlets, but even without them pivoted, there is room for the larger regular plugs to fit next to the transformer plugs. All this in a space-saving design, too.
The only areas of complaint I have is the description of the cord: "A right-angle plug helps you better manage your furniture by keeping the 8-foot cord close to the wall..." As you can see by the picture, this is not a right-angle plug. The other complaint is the miniscule lettering on the tape (i.e. instrucions)for he RJ11 jacks. Bring along a magnifying glass if your eyesight is anything but perfect.
This product has yet to be tested for it's purpose -- protection against surges. If, and when this does occur, I will do a follow-up.
Customer Review: Definitely simplifies things - ideal for use with home theater system
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with this surge protector - we've got a television, dvr, dvd player and a Wii hooked into it, plus we're running the cable through it into the television. We've lost a television in the past due to surging, and Florida summers are filled with thunderstorms. Of course, I don't know whether this will really protect in the next thunderstorm especially if there were a direct hit (there's thunder outside as I type this...) but I do expect it will protect against less serious power surges, which do happen on occasion. This gives me peace of mind - especially with the $300,000 connected equipment warranty. Plus, it's a lot neater than my old powerstrip, and a lot more roomy for the larger plugs with adapters built into them.Customer Review: Surge protector of the apocalypse!
Summary: 5 Stars
How does one geek out over a power strip? Let me count the ways...
1. Have you forever been frustrated with only using "some" of the outlets on your power strips due to the blocking size of most power adapters? This baby features adjustable, rotating power plugs so you can use EVERY SINGLE socket there is here. Never have I seen the like. You can plug in anything to this!
2. Well made, sturdy, solid made to last. I have 2 of these.
3. Grounding lights and other indicators a-plenty.
4. Cable wrap bar to keep people from kicking cables out.
5. 12, count 'em 12 sockets! And you can use every single one by adjusting them.
