There's a lot of debate on whether or not expensive surge protectors are worth the money. Some people argue that the few dollars you save by buying a cheaper model isn't worth the risk of your electronics being damaged by a power surge. Others say that as long as the surge protector does its job, the price doesn't matter. The truth is, it depends on your needs. If you live in an area with a lot of thunderstorms, you might want to invest in a higher-priced model that can handle more voltage. On the other hand, if you're just
Yes, you can plug a fridge into a surge protector. A surge protector will protect your fridge from power surges and help keep it running smoothly.
If you have any electronics in your home, you need a surge protector. That’s because surge protectors provide a first line of defense against electrical surges that can damage your electronic devices. Surges can come from a number of sources, including lightning strikes, power outages, faulty wiring, and even high-powered appliances turning on and off. When a surge occurs, the excess electricity can fry the delicate circuitry in your electronic devices, rendering them useless. A surge protector is a simple and inexpensive way to protect your electronics from damage. Surge protectors work by

After using them for at least a year, I can declare without a doubt that these cords are a need. I just purchased another one for the bedroom.What I like: -Well Braided; doesn't feel cheap.-Sturdy plug-in; power cords shouldn't be difficult to insert or remove-The flat plug is quite helpful if you are behind furniture.I have two of these by my bed, one on either side, so that my girlfriend and I can charge our tablets, smart watches, and other devices. For those occasions when you want to play on your tablet or laptop while lying in bed all day, I leave the brick close so I may move it further onto the bed.There are no drawbacks to this product; I haven't encountered any problems in the roughly a year that I've owned it, and in all honesty, that's how it should be with something as basic as an extension cable.

I can plug in several things simultaneously thanks to the power strip without having to worry about overloading the circuit. With only one built-in switch, the entire strip can be switched off, allowing me to leave the PCs running but unplugged. I'm able to safely power things using this outlet. Because the housing of this power strip is plastic, you must be careful handling it. I've been utilizing an additional power strip (highly recommended brand). Our home was struck by lightning, but an Axtra power strip protected all of my electronics, including my printer, PC, and wireless network.In my bedroom, the green light is really intense. The excessively excessive light presumably serves a purpose in an office or educational setting.

In my office area, I've been using a similar product for nearly a year, but I chose to replace because it was worn out and unappealing. Given that these outlet surge protectors are somewhat expensive, I reasoned that Amazon would be the ideal place for me to locate the greatest pricing on a high-quality item. It goes without saying that I chose wisely when I bought this thing. I must admit that several reviews showed images of this product as a fire hazard, which made me quite wary. Finally, while purchasing any outlet surge protector, you must be aware that there is always a chance that the item will catch fire. Additionally, a lot of people are unaware that even if this device caught fire, the fire is typically not caused by the product itself but rather by poor wiring in your home. However, if you decide against purchasing this product and choose another, that product will probably ignite similarly to this one since improper electrical wiring inside your home's walls, not the product itself, is to blame. To put it another way, the fact that this product is excellent quality, sturdy, has a respectable appearance, does the job, and is, of course, reasonably priced shouldn't deter you from buying it. This product has met my expectations, and I would buy it again.

***As always, I paid the full purchase price plus VAT for these using my own hard-earned money. In addition, I have no connection to anyone who stands to gain financially from this purchase or my review. *** Just a thought.I connected two medium-sized aquariums on one pedestal to organized power using these power strips. They were quite effective, and I really like them.The main drawback is that the pear-shaped mounting holes on the strips' backs are too shallow to accommodate a standard screw head. I had to take a seat and give this some thought because it threw me off surprise. Nothing I already owned would fit in these small holes, despite the fact that I have a sizable collection of screws, bolts, nuts, and washers. I'm not sure if anything other than a nail head would function.I had to mount to a 3/16-inch-thick piece of tempered hardboard that couldn't support a nail but had access to both sides. Each strip had four pear-shaped mounting holes on the reverse, two of them at each end, spaced about an inch apart. As a result, I was able to simply drill two tiny holes in the board that matched each set of mounting holes on the strips, thread a zip tie through one of the holes and out the other, through the mounting hole on the strip and back through the second hole, and zip it tightly in the back.It worked well to do this at both ends of each strip. Everything is sufficiently robust, and the zip ties are hidden. But if I had been mounting to something like a sheetrock wall that was only accessible from one side, that might have been a bigger issue.These power strips are a terrific deal and do perform nicely within these constraints. For someone who has no intention of installing them at any point, which is probably the most of the time, they are easily a 5-star purchase.

Overall, this is a fantastic surge protector with the added benefit of having two USB charging connections. The surge protector is intended to fit over both electrical outlet plugs in a standard outlet, but it only plugs into the receptacle of one outlet and then has a small plastic nub that fits into the bottom outlet rather than plugging into both and utilizing the electrical outlets. These are the two biggest drawbacks, in my opinion: (1) The casing is not designed to fit flush against the wall, leaving a visible gap around the edges of the surge protector between it and the wall. I have an older model that plugs into both outlets and fits flush against the wall, making it much more sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and seamless. In addition, only half of the expansion outlets in the older model are powered by (and anchored into) just one of the wall receptacle plugs, as opposed to all of them.You must take additional caution while unplugging appliances from the surge protector since, despite the fact that it is bolted into the wall socket/receptacle, it is not flush with the wall and is not entirely connected into both of the outlets. In order to keep the surge protector cover firmly in place while I unplug the cord(s) I want to disconnect, I place one hand against it. I was able to set a high standard with an older model that plugs into both outlets and fastens flat to the wall, but I have not been successful in doing so since. Maybe I'm being too picky, but I have a feeling that the two aforementioned shortcomings may have been addressed to make this surge protector even better. Other than that, I like it enough to have bought two more for situations where family members frequently fight over access to charge their electronics or where they frequently disconnect lamps, landlines, and other stationary electrical items to charge their phones or tablets. No one has a valid reason to remove the lamps, alarm clock, or landline telephone charger thanks to these outlets' several more outlets in the same space and their ability to plug USB cords straight into devices rather than through bulky adapters.

Not much to say about this thing. It has a 2 Foot wire and is a power strip. Both surge protectors function flawlessly right out of the box thanks to a solid construction and a very sturdy On/Off switch. Nothing more could be desired, especially considering the price.You are seriously missing out if you aren't taking advantage of the price/quality of AmazonBasics products. I've never bought anything from them that I didn't absolutely love. Additionally, they are frequently better manufactured than comparable goods that are much more expensive. You won't regret ordering an AmazonBasics product if you haven't already done so. They are generally less expensive than most comparable things offered by other companies, which is why I used to buy them. They are the same or better quality than comparable products that typically cost much more, I found after a few transactions.Note: I have no affiliations with Amazon and do not receive free or discounted products from them. Simply put, you will like the AmazonBasics brand as much as I do.

It begs the question as to whether those burning things out have them overloaded. For instance, a single small room space heater would require 1,500 watts to operate at full power, according to Consumer Reports' testing of the electric space heaters. Therefore, you can only plug in a small number of additional items with an 1800 watt maximum outlet strip usual for a 15 amp device, consuming hopefully very little additional power if you do.Since December 2017, the somewhat less expensive Belkin edition of this version—which has a lower joules rating—has operated without a hitch.I bring this up because when I saw pictures of them with burn holes in them, I was shocked. I frequently connect in several devices and they all function without a hitch, however that is obviously a typical 46" TV or my 56", sound equipment, etc. In case of an emergency, I have a few space heaters around the home that I generally just plug straight into the power on a specific circuit. Due to the low cost of space heaters and remote possibility of a lightning spike, there is little risk involved. Although I'm not an electrician, here's my opinion.For just a few dollars more than my other one that is similar to it, I recently purchased two of these. It has around 400 extra joules in its rating, or around 4000 as opposed to 3900. Great results. In the event that something goes wrong, I'll return to update my review.

Please excuse my poor cord management. So to speak, I wanted people to witness it in the wild.The 8-Outlet Surge Protector, 4,500 Joule, 6-Foot Cord from Amazon Basics is effective in its task. This surge protector is not fancy. Although it is simple, the 4,500 Joules of protection it provides are good. As you can see, the ground light is bright and provides security. A quick check lets you know your expensive technology is secure.AmazonBasics also carries surge protectors that have more room for the larger power adapters if you need one. I wouldn't think twice about purchasing this if you don't have a problem with that.
Surge protectors can last for many years if they are used and maintained properly. However, the lifespan of a surge protector will depend on the quality of the unit and how often it is used. The best way to prolong the life of your surge protector is to use it only when needed and to keep it properly stored when not in use.
Most surge protectors have six outlets, but you can find some with as many as 12. You can also find surge protectors with USB ports, which can be handy for charging phones and other devices.
Most TVs come with some form of surge protection built in, but it is always a good idea to have an additional layer of protection. A surge protector will help to protect your TV from power surges that can damage sensitive electronic components.
Yes, it is safe to leave a surge protector plugged in. Surge protectors are designed to protect your devices from power surges, so they are constantly monitoring the voltage coming into your devices.
Yes, it is safe to plug two surge protectors into the same outlet. However, you should check the manufacturer's instructions to make sure that the surge protectors are compatible.
Most people believe that connecting their TV to a surge protector is a good idea. This is because surge protectors can help to protect your TV from power surges that can occur during thunderstorms. power outages. However, surge protectors can also cause problems. If there is a power surge, the surge protector will shut off the power to your TV. This can be annoying if you are in the middle of watching a show.
