I’ve had good luck with APC products over the years, both line conditioners and surge protectors. Generally, I prefer their specifications, design and build quality to competitors. This P8U2 is as sturdy and reliable as the half-dozen others I currently have in operation. I chose this unit because of the built-in USB ports. At 2.4 amps each they have enough power to efficiently charge my tablet while simultaneously powering a wireless media device. I have no hesitation recommending this unit.

Im not a fan of the socket covers on this power strip as they seem to come out easily enough to not add that much safety while still getting in the way when plugging things in, but I was very satisfied with it for the first year I had it. Then the usb ports failed and their inclusion was the whole reason I bought this power strip over so many alternatives. Unfortunately that didnt work out for me and I think if youre looking to buy this for the same reason you should just buy separate devices as I will do in the future.

Connected by TV to this APC surge protector and when we had intermittent power outages due to weather, my TV stopped working. Product is useless.

Appears to be good quality. Lots of plug-ins including USB. No experience with storms or electrical faults.

I have an APC 6-outlet surge protector that I purchased at Best Buy several years ago for around $80. Could not believe the reduction in price for a smaller unit capable of more plugs. This is a great unit at a great price.

Working as intended no complaints or issues noticed!

Working fine so far but you never know with these things until a surge hits. Also, if attached equipment is damaged by a surge then in order to make a claim, you have to ship the equipment to them for review. Plus they (and the other companies) only pay the fair market value at the time of damage, not the replacement cost.

Exactly what I hoped it would be.
