Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Remove center screw from existing ceiling outlet cover and screw the apc in securely (longer screw provided) - mine feels like it will easily hold the weight if i need to use all six apc outlets. I like this white one because it is small and convenien...  Read More

Plugs plus 2 usb ports make it so great, plus they space out each outlet. Have been using this about 6 weeks with a small room heater, a robovac, a router and an indoor cam attached. Easy to install. Has usb ports if u didn't want to use the charging ...  Read More

Apc outlet extender has more widely spaced outlets on the side of the plug. My son's college dorm has, literally, one plug set on each side.

These fill the role as a cheap point of use protection for less sensitive devices where you're really only protecting from light surges/transients. They're also a good solution for protecting against smaller internal surges from other devices on the s...  Read More



Cons

This plug is a fire hazard. It can't be used as a multiple plug.

Always check that spec on every surge protector you buy - anything greater than 400v is not worth buying and using because it w...  Read More

Price


Peace of mind for a reasonable cost.


After losing $2500 worth of electronics during a thunder storm, i went whole hog on surge protective devices (spd's).


The epp is supposed to pay out if your stuff that is plugged into the spd breaks because of a surge.


Finally, i want to inform people that the current price for this is too high.

Competitiveness


The joule rating is much higher than other outlet extenders.


This is a very much different animal than the equipment protection plan (epp).
