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

I needed a solid, highly-rated surge protector for my house, and I needed it quickly, so I turned to Amazon and APC. I have owned several APC surge protectors, including a battery backup, and this one (APC Power Strip Surge Protector, PH8, 2160 Joules, 8 Outlet Power Strip) did not disappoint. It is an excellent product at a good price, and I highly recommend it.

Everything checks out, but I feel like had the switch were moved to the side, you’d have more room for another socket. Or, have room for those bigger power plug.

The differently oriented sockets make the power strip really useful for things with the 90 degree angled plugs.

These are simple and seem well made. The spacing can still be a problem with transformers and various plug orientations. Nobody has ever solved that problem. My only criticism is that the power switch flips off too easily with barest touch or brush of a hand. I have several times inadvertently turned off the power while repositioning this strip

Bought 2 for 10$ a pop. Then Bought a bigger one because I needed more plug ins on my one side of the room. So I gave one to my old man. He likes it so I’m happy

Ive always bought surge suppressors and the like from APC. Theyre very reliable and well-made. The equipment protection guarantees are great, too. This strip is not as sturdy as some other APC strips, but it is also less expensive. Perfect for basic home use (a TV, Xbox, etc). Id get a higher up APC model if youre protecting a workstation computer or high end audio gear. But for basic stuff, this strip is a good value. Id trust this far more than a lesser known brand.

I used this for a PC.. Works so far as intended. I have not had an outage or power surge so I will update if I do. Seems like good quality.

I chose this because of the good reviews for protection of the expensive equipment that would be plugged in. I had ordered a different one and it arrived but after reviewing reviews and seeing the shape of it, we sent that one back because it would not work well with Apple products. This one works perfectly with the Apple products and we will keep it.

These power cords are slim enough to hide under my dual power recliner love seats. The angle plug works great, helping to keep the cord out of the way. I did not receive a registration card for the $150k protection plan however so not sure how that will workout if needed hopefully never

Just what I needed for the home office. The cord is long enough for my stand/sit desk. Only complaint is that the power light is a bit too bright.
