Pros & Cons
Pros
Light is quite nice and reassuring. Great to have a prominent indicator to reassure me that the thing is working. Only complaint is the lack of a 90° plug.
Each plug has a slider to cover when it is not used. Some outlets are spaced for the bigger plug things. There's enough room to fit the big adaptors.
First impression is everything. It is a relief that this works well. It definitely lives up to my expectations from reviews and research.
Thick power cord handles high amperage no sweat. I like the spacing of the outlets and the cord seems to be just long enough without being too long. I wish the power chord were longer and that the strip wouldn't topple over.

As stated by apc support from back when i called them for warranty support on a upc battery that went bad prematurely the apc surge strips can and often do mask the overall load on an apc battery backup unit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Instead just use plain power extension strips no surge protection in conjunction with apc battery backup units
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Otherwise you can utilize apc surgearrest strips anywhere you want to protect sensitive electronics
