APC Surge Protector, White Power Strip PH8W, 2160 Joules, Flat Plug, 8 Outlet Power Strip

Fortunately I pugged a lamp into the outlet strip, because after 14 months the bulb started flickering, changed bulb, and bulb still flickered, I listened closely to the outlet strip and heard it making a slight crackling sound and it also had a faint electric odor. The bulb informed me the unit was delivering bad electric to my sensitive equipment. Now I am worried about the other 3 I bought, keep or trash them too?

Item appears to be of high quality. The outlets are well spaced out and accommodate different shapes of plugs. The two LEDs showing that both the unit is powered on and the the surge protection is working are a nice addition.

We take it with us.

One of the common flaws of single width strips is the inability to accommodate more than 1 adapter unless you want to waste the sockets as the adapter obstructs/covers the adjacent sockets. This one has 2 rows with sockets at 90 degrees. As such, adapters face outward and do not obstruct adjacent sockets. Well made and sturdy, typical of APC quality. Hopefully the surge protection wont be tested but gives you peace of mind to know that all plugged in devices are protected. I have it mounted under my office desk using the mounting holes at the back. Great value for the money.

Perfect replacement for my old power strip at my desk.

After blowing out our newer big screen TV due to a power surge, we installed this one so that our NEW TV wont meet with the same demise.

Gets the job done.

My prior experience with APC surge protectors prompted me to purchase this item for my iPad and iPhone charging station. So far, no issues with APC.

Its APC, it trust it with my high end electronics. Will update if fails. All my battery back-ups at work are APC, I havent really tried anything else. I probably wont. Thanks APC!

Its hard to get excited about a power strip- but when they designed this one, the engineers at APC hit it out of the park! I love how the wall warts (those odd klunky AC/DC power adapters that so many devices come with nowadays) have their own spot on this unit, and do not block out the remaining plugs that regular AC power cords (3 prong grounded) require. This is VERY important! Most of the competition has you forfeiting one or more plug locations when a wall wart blocks you out! There are on/off status lights (green means OK) and and on/off SWITCH. For the modest and reasonable cost, you get great surge protection. I have used APC products for many years, particularly fond of their backup UPS power supplies. I plan to buy more of this model for my apartment. The quality is there, a nice heavy line cord to connect to the AC power, and better-than-average build quality. Slick!
