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

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.

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

I bought this to replace an old 6-outlet surge protector and am very happy with the purchase.

I have a kitchen area that hosts all my appliances; a mixer, a high end coffee grinder, microwave, toaster oven. Total its about 1k of appliances, and the power strip it was plugged in was so old you couldnt tell if its yellow because the plastic was originally ivory colored or because it was 20 years old. I work in IT and I dont skimp on power surge protectors; 15% of surges sneak right past your house level surge protection, and can kick in not only due to lightning strikes but minor changes in current, like nearby electricity use, appliances that kick on and off, etc. All you know is 3 years later your toaster stops working. Most of these cheap surge protectors on the market are glorified extension cables. I trust the brand, they havent let me down so far.

Works well, feels high quality for a power strip, the lights can be a little bright at night, but they are upward facing and separate from the switch so covering them with some electrical tape wouldn’t be a hassle.

I bought 3. I currently use one for my laptop/monitors, the second for my TV, Wi-Fi, gaming console, and the third one at my boyfriends apartment for his TV, gaming console, etc. I ordered this one because of the USB ports, room for different size plugs, the flat plug, white color to look less dusty, and 2160 joules to protect my electronics if there was lightening spike. I like that theres an indicator light that shows if the surge protection is actively working, rather than some power strips that just have a fake light for the power button. The bottom of it also does say it is ETL listed which is always always good for insurance purposes. Ive had this since early February and havent had any issues yet.

3 of the plugs do not work, but the remaining ones do, so...I guess theres that.

I cannot vouch for its Effectiveness because we did not have a significant power surge or outage since I purchased this. Hopefully it acts and responds is Good As It Seems

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

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.
