SurgeMaster 1-Outlet Home Series

A solid surge protector. I use them wherever I have an electrically controlled device. Refer, freezer, computers, WiFi router, phone chargers plugs, you get the picture. With blk outs, brown outs, and electric companies turning power off/on you need these to protect sensitive electronics. There are 2 green lights glowing all the time to tell you, that your protected. Easy peasy protector!

I'm using this surge protector for my pc. It is working well and I haven't had any issues. I think it's really good for the price and keeping my computer safe. There is also a warranty.

We recently sustained a lighting strike nearby and a surge entered our AC power and wacked a few things. The surge protector on a board in the range blew (so did the $300 board), a surge protected outlet strip was blown. On inspection, the MOVs (the surge protecting electronic device) in these were burned out. The devices on the surge protected power strips survived. I decided up my game and install these SPDs on every 120V device that was plugged in. First though, I took one apart to see if it was junk or actually worth the effort and $$$. I have had good luck with Belkin products in the past...These have 3 MOVs in them: hot to ground, neutral to ground, hot to neutral. The MOVs are 22mm size, which is generous for something at this price point. Most important though is the thermal fusing device. When the surge begins to happen, the MOV begins to conduct current. If the surge is large enough, the MOV shorts out, the current through the thermal fuse heats it up and the fuse opens, disconnecting the AC from the device that is plugged into this surge protector. This is a great design. What I really like is the fiberglass pockets that the MOVs are wrapped in. When MOVs blow, they spray hot metal and these pockets will prevent that metal from blasting all over the interior of the case. Bravo to Belkin on this!This device also has 2 indicator lights, one for the AC out being live, and another for "grounded". If a surge occurs and the "protected" LED goes out, this means the MOV device is probably damaged and the whole plug device should be discarded. 1 in 5 of these that I bought had a faulty "grounded" circuit, the "grounded" LED was out. The MOVs were good, but the circuit that runs the "grounded" LED was not working. Note that this "grounded" LED does not indicate if the ground connection from the wall plug through this device is good. The ground prong on the input side of this device connects directly to the tang that forms the ground socket on this devices receptacle, the ground is not interrupted. Its just bad quality control.In summary, I think these are a good defense against all but the worst surge coming through the AC line. All the devices that have electronics in them in my house are now plugged into one of these.

I purchased this SurgeCube to go in an outlet where the other plug is another Belkin product available here on Amazon: the Belkin 12-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Phone/Ethernet/Coaxial Protection and Extended Cord.Unfortunately, the SurgeCube simply cannot fit in the same wall outlet as the plug for the 12-outlet surge protector. The plug above the surgecube can only be something very light duty like a desk lamp. The plug on the 12-outlet protector is fairly normal-looking but extends just a couple of millimeters too far to fit into the outlet alongside this. There was nothing about its appearance that made me think it would be unable to fit in the same outlet as a single-device surge protector.While I will still use the surge cube for something else, that outlet was the "home" of the valuable and sensitive piece of equipment that I really wanted Belkin protection for.I ended up using a different brand's surge protector purchased with a different outlet in mind--a three outlet surge protector that plugs into a single space--where I had intended to use the Belkin single-item surge protector. (See my other reviews.) Its design was smarter for ensuring two plugs could fit in one wall outlet.The depth of the Belkin surge cube is also pretty extreme if you're putting this, as I was intending to, behind a solid piece of furniture that will now need to stand farther from the wall. I appreciate that this means there is a lot of protective material inside, though I'd recommend that belkin make it wider and flatter instead (and make the position of its length such that the other outlet can accommodate a sturdy plug). Checking against their own products for compatibility would be a good start!Having green lights rather than blue is better for a bedroom, although I wish they were red. Having two lights--one to confirm grounding and one to confirm protection--is a great idea... even if the user may not be able to check them often due to intervening furniture.I really appreciate that Belkin offers a warranty on the equipment that it is protecting. As someone who recently lost a several hundred dollar piece of equipment to a dud surge protector on the first day that I was testing it (see my other reviews; it actually produced its own surge!!), this is reassuring.Too bad it doesn't fit. Even though it's a huge disappointment for me, since the overall quality and guarantee is good, I'll only mark it down one star.

Works great
