APC Surge Protector, White Power Strip PH8W, 2160 Joules, Flat Plug, 8 Outlet Power Strip

Its hard to get excited about a power strip- but when they designed this one, the engineers at APC hit it out of the park! I love how the wall warts (those odd klunky AC/DC power adapters that so many devices come with nowadays) have their own spot on this unit, and do not block out the remaining plugs that regular AC power cords (3 prong grounded) require. This is VERY important! Most of the competition has you forfeiting one or more plug locations when a wall wart blocks you out! There are on/off status lights (green means OK) and and on/off SWITCH. For the modest and reasonable cost, you get great surge protection. I have used APC products for many years, particularly fond of their backup UPS power supplies. I plan to buy more of this model for my apartment. The quality is there, a nice heavy line cord to connect to the AC power, and better-than-average build quality. Slick!

One of the common flaws of single width strips is the inability to accommodate more than 1 adapter unless you want to waste the sockets as the adapter obstructs/covers the adjacent sockets. This one has 2 rows with sockets at 90 degrees. As such, adapters face outward and do not obstruct adjacent sockets. Well made and sturdy, typical of APC quality. Hopefully the surge protection wont be tested but gives you peace of mind to know that all plugged in devices are protected. I have it mounted under my office desk using the mounting holes at the back. Great value for the money.

Ive always bought surge suppressors and the like from APC. Theyre very reliable and well-made. The equipment protection guarantees are great, too. This strip is not as sturdy as some other APC strips, but it is also less expensive. Perfect for basic home use (a TV, Xbox, etc). Id get a higher up APC model if youre protecting a workstation computer or high end audio gear. But for basic stuff, this strip is a good value. Id trust this far more than a lesser known brand.

After endless research and not finding any option that had reassuring reviews I finally asked our family IT expert to help me pick a decent option. We are setting up a home office and needed a surge protector for the printer etc as we have seasonal power outages here. This one feels pretty sturdy as surge protectors go. It has a nice look to it. I like the option of having USB ports in it, so a charging cord can be plugged in and ready to go for a device. Weve only had it a month so I cant speak to longevity but so far so good!

I like that it is nice looking, works as it is supposed to, and has enough outlets for me to plug in appliances without having to unplug others.

Needed power strips to replace ones that got blown from a power surge caused by a tropical storm. These have the highest joule rating in their class. I like the APC brand and they are in the power business. I feel like I purchased a quality device - actually, I bought 5 !

Not too much thicker than a normal surge protector. Port placements are great to allow multiple large plug types. Hope I never have to rate the actual surge protection.

I had my PS5 get struck by lightning so I’m paranoid about what I’m plugging anything into anymore. I bought one of these from micro center that has like two more slots for $65. Clearly got overcharged. But still, if it’s guaranteed to cover it, then I need it.

Outlets are accessible and 3 of them are spaced well apart from one another for bigger plugs. Weak charge on the USB ports is my only complaint.

Bought this for security and peace offend for charging electronics and running a shop vac off of a generator that we use at our cabin. Works great - no issues. IMO, an excellent value
