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

Been using this item in my home office for only a week but I have lots of experience with APC products and, so far, I expect this surge protector to follow suit. It feels well-built and I had no trouble at all plugging all my home office menagerie into it. The flat wall plug is also a great feature and allows my desk to fit snugly against the wall. Go with APC and rest easy. You can trust their products!

I only buy surge protectors that have EMI/RFI noise filtering. I have a sensitive short wave radio with a sleep timer that I use when going to sleep. It has a rechargeable battery so you can either use it plugged in or on battery power. Ive always had static on the radio when it was plugged into this surge protector. Cords generally do cause interference in radios so I thought nothing of it. But it started to get really bad. So I took one of my old tripplite surge protectors with emi/rfi noise filtering and plugged the radio into that. No static or interference on the radio at all. I went to APCs website to see if this model has EMI/RFI and it looks like it does....but it sure doesnt work well on mine. I dont want to disparage APC. I have several of their surge protectors. Just bought the big P12U2 model they have and love that one. I think it just has better circuitry than this budget model. Im using the P12U2 on my TCL 55 TV that was flickering and was glitchy turning on and off with a different surge protector from another company. Anyways, the ACP P12U2 works great and appears to have excellent noise filtering. Just wish the P12U2 had a flat plug because I bought it to use for my computer, but couldnt because I couldnt push my desk up against the wall with that straight out plug. Anyways, Ive strayed. This is a good basic surge protector I suppose. Would not recommend it for sensitive electronics prone to interference. Then again, maybe I just had a bad one, who knows. APC is a great brand. All my surge protectors are either APC or TrippLite. Cant go wrong either way.

We had a huge power surge, and all the equipment was protected.

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

I bought 3. I currently use one for my laptop/monitors, the second for my TV, Wi-Fi, gaming console, and the third one at my boyfriends apartment for his TV, gaming console, etc. I ordered this one because of the USB ports, room for different size plugs, the flat plug, white color to look less dusty, and 2160 joules to protect my electronics if there was lightening spike. I like that theres an indicator light that shows if the surge protection is actively working, rather than some power strips that just have a fake light for the power button. The bottom of it also does say it is ETL listed which is always always good for insurance purposes. Ive had this since early February and havent had any issues yet.

Ive used and sold all of the APC upss great product, surge protectors not so much. But these have a surge rating, have led lights to its on and if you have a failure in the unit has a great warranty and cost less then some of the cheaper ones at your local Ace True value stores. I give it 4 stars because it is made in China.

The surge protector works just as intended, the design is very functional. One negative about is that the switch can be turned off VERY EASILY. You have to be careful to not turn it off accidentally. Otherwise its a well made surge protector.

So I live by this company and high recommend it for two reasons. 1. It works. Ive had one that was destroyed during a thunderstorm but like the company claims, it will protect your electronics, and boy did it do so. While the unit was trashed after the storm, all my gear was 100% and protected. After that I was sold and all of the electronics in our house are hooked up to this company. But more importantly, 2. The companys guarantee. If any of your devices or electronics are damaged while using this product, they will cover you for the damage. Cant beat that.

Ive been using APC products for a long time and had a need to replace another surge protector that had outgrown its life. Went with APC again, and this unit gives you a great band for the buck. Plenty of room to plug in what I need, and already has paid dividends as the day after installing there was a thunderstorm and a bit of a power surge.

The design of this surge protector is top notch. Very easy to connect anything, and the flat plug is does not stick out far from the wall. The light is green which is more pleasant than red or blue, but I still covered it up with black tape. No need to have a room glowing at night. Overal, a great product.
