Belkin 6 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector

I work in the IT industry, so every time people move offices they come to me for a power strip. I buy these power strips regularly because:

1. They have seemed to protect adequately for surges

2. They are very compact

3. They are cheap!!!!

4. The big one– the power switch is on the side where the power cable exits the strip. This has a big advantage.

You’d be amazed how many times people, cleaning crews or others accidentally flip the power switch on a power strip that may be under the edge of a desk or in an area that can get bumped but isn’t easily seen. That also causes problems because people don’t understand why their stuff isn’t working. Having the switch on the side dramatically reduces the frequency with which I get calls because “stuff stopped working”… No one ever expects the simple answer and always assume a device has gone bad, etc.

The color fits in with your average office creme color, and unless you are going to get a power squid or UPS I wouldn’t spend more on a power strip than the cost of this.

So far so good…..wanted a smaller one for my macbook…..didn’t need a huge outlet protector for the spot, and this filled the bill. Arrived quickly, good price, it works!

This thing is trash. It’s dead after about 5 months. Reset switch doesn’t do the trick either. The switch is flimsy too. It supposedly has a lifetime warranty but the model number doesn’t exist on the Belkin web site when you try to get a warranty replacement and you must pay the shipping back to them. I’ll just buy a better product with the money it would cost me to ship this back. DON’T BOTHER BUYING THIS SURGE PROTECTOR!!! I’d give it a negative star if I could.
