Customer Review: Clean Little Plug/Outlet
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate having those power strips hanging all over the floor just when I need to use one extra outlet. This happily converts my wall outlet from 2 to 4. The phone jack protection is nice if u are in a lightning prone environment. But if you live in the west coast - probably never necessary unless your building has very old wiring or you live somewhere like Tracy where weather can get out of whack. The prongs fit firm, not loose like other outlets. And it is very clean - all matte white, which blends into everything. For those of you who need more outlets, I would get the 9 plug outlet which converts two outlets into 9. this requires a screw driver to take off the original face plate and then screw on the 9 outlet one. Real easy.Customer Review: Seems well made , good price - will it work? Who knows...
Summary: 4 Stars
Little green light comes on, has phone surge protection / splitter. Seems well made and Belkin is a good name, plus it was inexpensive. Finding reviews of actual people who took a lightning hit on any of these types of items was rare, but there was one or two on the single outlet version if my memory is correct, so I transferred some of that to this one. I was a bit concerned about the one review where it would have probably caused a fire once the power was restored, but someone saw it and put it out or whatever. There was another reviewer that said they had a lightning strike and it did fine, so I am not really sure what to think. I hope it works.
Customer Review: It saved me hundreds!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can answer the question the previous reviewer asked - at least in this one instance, the unit burned out and prevented current from reaching the protected equipment. I've had my computer and digital phone on one of these for a year and a thunderstorm tonight blew it out but none of the equipment was damaged. I was in the room at the time and it was a huge crackle. I have no doubt there would have been plenty of damage without the surgemaster. Definitely a worthwhile cost/ benefit trade-off in my book.Customer Review: Not what I thought it was
Summary: 2 Stars
This is probably totally my fault, but I feel like this could have happened to anyone. I looked at the picture of this and thought it was something you could plug into the wall to get more outlets out of one outlet. That is not the case. I have no idea what it actually does (something to do with modems and/or phones because it has a bunch of phone jacks on it) since I don't see how you can even supply it power. So, take heed and make sure you actually know what this is before you order it.Customer Review: Fried!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had it for a month, never use it until five minutes ago. Opened the box, plugged in the wall outlet, plugged in the cell phone charger. Immediately, a loud "POP" and strong smell of something burning. The surge protector itself is FRIED!!! Good thing I haven't plugged in my cell phone to the charger. I unplugged it from the wall outlet, there goes straight into the trash can.
