Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It has a rechargeable battery so you can either use it plugged in or on battery power. The power source is perfect for my needs of 6 to 8 outlets with no need for usb changing ports. The built in usb ports are also handy for charging tablets and phone... Read More

It feels well-built and i had no trouble at all plugging all my home office menagerie into it. Appears to be pretty durable. Can't go wrong either way.

This is a good basic surge protector i suppose. This strip is not as sturdy as some other apc strips, but it is also less expensive. This one feels pretty sturdy as surge protectors go.

No static or interference on the radio at all. Plenty of outlets (8) for tv, consoles, sound system, etc. Only complaint is that the power light is a bit too bright.

Cons

Faulty and grounded out to cause circuit breaker to trip. The clamp rating on this is 500v, which is practically useless. Apc requires a list of equipment to be submitted within 10 days of purchase using “the included warranty card’.

Price

The $150,000 equipment protection is another great reason to purchase this product, as are the two usb charging ports.

Good value for the money i paid

Price was reasonable and would recommend to anyone

Competitiveness

This one replaces another apc power strip/surge protector that we bought 20 years ago, so it's a no-brainer to get another of t... Read More

This is not to say that nothing will ever happen with this unit, but i have had many other brand name units and never had an issue.
