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

Had 2 power outages within the last month. Helped keep my 70 in ch tv, cable box, sound bar in tact. Had no problems!

I got this mainly because it was one of the thinner units that had 8 plugs. For me this was important because I wanted it fit in the cable organizing tray on a sit-stand desk. It does so wonderfully and I havent had any issues in the short time Ive used it. Its currently powering a PC, monitor, bookshelf speakers, desk lamp, and a few usb chargers.

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

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.

Needed power strips to replace ones that got blown from a power surge caused by a tropical storm. These have the highest joule rating in their class. I like the APC brand and they are in the power business. I feel like I purchased a quality device - actually, I bought 5 !

I needed a power strip with over 6 outlets and wanted a decent Joule rating. Also I have owned APC in the past and have been very satisfied with the quality. This power strip so far has met my expectations and is working out great.

Solid power strip, used some 3M velcro to attach to bottom side of desk and plug orientation fits all my device needs perfectly. Have an APC UPS for Tv and consoles for past couple of years and this power strip shows the same quality and gives the same confidence to protect my PC and monitor.

Computers from work

This is exactly what I wanted. (It’s even better - slimmer, easier to handle cord, than the Belkin in this design style.) Perfect fit for the lower shelf of my night table. To charge my phone, iPad, Bluetooth headset, and the like (plug my lamp into it as well, for convenience-sake not surge protection). The 8 outlets are perfectly spaced/placed. I briefly considered the model with the USB cord plugs directly into the unit, but for me, at this point, for this purpose the extra price didn’t seem worth-it. My USB charging adapters aren’t that bulky, and with this design they can be plugged side-by-side. I do like the convenience of that design, with the USB plugs, and will likely get it in the future, and move this one to either my home-office, or dressing area. So, this “basic” one wouldn’t be wasted. And meanwhile it’s a great budget option that sacrifices none of the design, style, or function. It’s attractive, useful, well conceived/designed and executed. For well under $20. Nice color too. Would be perfect anyplace. Though I’d think this more basic model isn’t intended for multiple multimedia devises all in one - looked like they had more suitable models for if you wanted to say plug in your TV, your game console, your streaming and/or cable - do they still call it that? - box/devise, your speakers with or without subwoofer, along with your modem and WiFi-router all into one. Someone, who works with high end electronics and/or an electrician/engineer correct me if I’m wrong. But I’d get a model - of this same device if there’s one of suitable capacity - which that’s meant to handle such a load for my entertainment center. I think another reviewer talked about joules and capacity, I think it was for this model. Or at least this manufacturer. Though I don’t see it being convenient for travel - not sure about that question there, maybe more convenient than some other styles; certainly not anywhere that’s not 120V, and I doubt that at this level it’s sufficient protection for anywhere with radically irregular electrical/voltage supply, not just the occasional spike, like say - Malawi Africa for a random example out of personal experience, for something like that you’d actually have to spend money and get a proper UPC, not to mention bulky-bulky, but that’s not relevant here, for this, just this isn’t something like that. This is for use with stable electrical and voltage supply, should give perfectly adequate protection for the occasional spikes and surges such as those following a power outage, within the design specification.

Just the right amount of protection for my AV center (TV, audio, AV components). Good price and sturdy.
