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

I got a new iMac and wanted to use my old Mac Pro tower for music recording. I wanted something small to plug a number of things into, including my Mac. This was the perfect fit. Does the job and has a small footprint.

Overall, I have a lot of confidence in the APC reputation. Their power related products all have great build quality and thoughtfulness behind it. This particular surge protector (8 outlets) is both thin and long and takes up very minimal space. The 6 foot power cord is also a good feature to have as it allows for various placements for different use cases. My only complaint about this surge protector is that it doesnt have built in slide covers to protect the outlets that arent in use. Ive appreciated this feature on other surge protector vendors like Belkin which help to protect against the household spills of liquid that happen from time to time within a household. I also somewhat wish that the on/off switch were on the side of the surge protector to prevent it from accidentally being switched on/off; I feel its a little more difficult to accidentally switch a surge protector on/off when the switch is on the side of the surge protector. just my opinion.

I used this for a PC.. Works so far as intended. I have not had an outage or power surge so I will update if I do. Seems like good quality.

I bought two of these (PH8). They protected all my equipment through a blown transformer recently. Others in my neighborhood have damaged equipment and are trying to sue the power company now. Meanwhile, my stuff is fine and after 5 minutes of APC chat support, they are shipping me a replacement for one of them that wouldn’t turn on after the incident. I enthusiastically give it 5 stars for working like they should, and would give 5 more for backing the lifetime warranty.

This product performed the work as expected. It is reliable and the indicating lights provide insurance that the strip is on. Great value!

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.

Very good quality.

Had 2 power outages within the last month. Helped keep my 70 in ch tv, cable box, sound bar in tact. Had no problems!

Gets a little bright, but its a solid surge protector with plenty of outlets (8) for TV, consoles, sound system, etc. Plenty of protection with 2000+ joules.

I really wanted a flat connection to the wall in a certain area in my house to optimize space. Originally I had one that was not a flat connection, and I had to have furniture stick out from the wall. Now with a flat one I have been able to reduce that space and it looks much cleaner and the space feels larger. The switch to turn it off and on is easy to access and I can plug lots of items into it. I researched a lot of surge protectors looking at both design and safety and so far this has fit my needs.
