Does It Work?

I just recently bought this for my TV and 1 week later a mixup caused 220V to surge throughout the house for about 10 seconds. What happened? Some lights went out, the fridge completely burned out and I need a new one, I could smell smoke from something, but....my TV is perfectly OK.
The surge protector no longer works and now I need another one, but at least it's cheaper than a new TV. Oh yeah, I'm now buying units for EVERYTHING in the house, and even if it fails, Belkin has a warranty to replace the equipment, what else could someone question? |
Excellent product - excellent price.

| I live where there's a lot of power surges and outages, and I've thrown a lot of surge protectors away over the years as they become used up from successive small hits or (maybe) huge ones. So I use it to protect my UPS, which has fantastic surge protection in it, but I don't want it to get used up. (It goes between the wall and the UPS, not after the UPS.) |
WORKS WELL

| I Place THESE ALL OVER THE HOUSE NEAR TV'S AND COMPUTERS I Like THEM THEY HAVE A LIGHT THAT CONFIRMS IF THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF NOT YOU NEED TO FIX THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY SURGE PROTECTION. THE UNIT SCREWS INTO THE SCREW HOLE IN THE WALLPLATE FOR SECURE MOUNTING. UNLIKE SOME OTHER MODELS, YOU LEAVE THE WALLPLATE IN PLACE AND THIS GOES ON TOP OF THAT. |
Why WOULDN'T you buy this?

Many people review surge protectors with tragic tales of losing electronics in surges or lightning storms. I don't have any of those tales. I want to avoid those tales. Enter: Belkin.
I bought two of these. I have a lot of pretty expensive equipment, including a $3,000 loudspeaker system, several Fender tube amps, a whole board filled with expensive guitar effects pedals, an expensive Mac and an embarrassingly expensive class-A headphone amp. I list all of that to say, I needed peace of mind to protect my stuff. $50,000 insurance on equipment? Wonderful! Lifetime guarantee? Wonderful!
They are a nice size; only slightly larger than my outlets' cover plates and stick out 1.5" from the wall once installed. Installation is nearly as simple as plugging something in... You first need to remove the screw from your outlet's cover plate, plug the surge protector in (with the cover plate between it and the wall), and then tighten its included screw in. The surge protector's AC plug, the secondary plastic "tooth" (it sticks out and plugs into the other outlet's ground slot), and the screw all hold this protector tightly to the wall.
Talk about a value. More outlets and $50,000 worth of protection for under $10? What a steal! Buy them and place them all over your house! You'll thank me (and Belkin) someday! |
Wish I bought one for every outlet

| This is so much nicer than those unattractive power strips. So sleek against the wall. Huge fan! |
