Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Power Sentry S10056800103/17 ShopLogic Power Squid Surge Protector (Black/Yellow)Customer Review: Equipment protection guarantee is very limited Summary: 3 Stars
Be careful if you intend to put this to any 'limited outdoor use' as the box indicates would be appropriate -- the product protection guarantee excludes lightning and 'accidents'. This is a great concept and a well-built piece of equipment. I have owned a (non-suppressor model) PowerSquid for 5+ years now without a hitch. I just think that if you really care about hard-core protection, you might want to look at a Belkin or some other model that has more robust surge suppression -- it almost seems like in producing this model, the suppression was added to the older PowerSquid model as an afterthought, rather than it being built around a solid protective design. UPDATE: I wanted to add that I did research and found that the similarly-priced Belkin surge suppressors DO cover damage caused by lightning -- in fact, their guarantees are more or less entirely inclusive, quite the opposite of the PowerSquid's.
Customer Review: Gets the Job Done, But MASSIVE Summary: 3 Stars
I really like the idea of a PowerSquid, that is not wasting outlets on a surge protector with large adapters covering two slots, but this particular model is MUCH bigger than you think it would be. Heed the note in the product description that notes this is a "ShopLogic" product -- it belongs in the garage or basement workshop. The product does work as advertised... it's just really big.
