Digital camera reviews of Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector
Digital camera Review: Cheap Surge Protector
Summary: 3 Stars
The surge protector doesn't have anything special about it. It has a short cord, no room is left for bigger plugs (except maybe the last one). I first thought that it arrived dead because no power went through but as I wanted to throw it out, I noticed that there was a switch hidden next to the power cord to turn it on. It is the first surge protector that I have seen that doesn't have the switch at the top.
At least it was cheap and does what is supposed to do and if you don't want a light on your surge protectors than this is probably a good choice for you.
Digital camera Review: Cheap and works
Summary: 4 Stars
There's not too much to say about this surge protector. It's cheap and it provides power. I wish the outlets were rotated 90 degrees to make "wall warts" fit a bit better.Digital camera Review: Died after a month
Summary: 1 Stars
After using this surge protector for a month, it suddenly died. The only things that were plugged in it were a bedside lamp, a cell phone charger, and occasionally a laptop adapter.
I recommend against purchasing this surge protector, and instead spending a few more dollars to get a better model. The $10-13 ones are much better.
Digital camera Review: Dirt cheap and effective, but the cord is SHORT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Going into the purchase I was aware that the cord was short, but I chose to ignore that. When I got them, I saw what everyone meant; they were ridiculously short. It managed to fit underneath me desk, but barely. However, once it was under, it was great. The plugs are spaced far apart enough that putting in one of my bigger bricks doesn't occupy so much space that I cannot put another plug into it's side. Also, covering the power switch helps to stop my foot from accidentally tripping the power. All in all, a great value for your buck, assuming that an extremely short cord is not a problem.Digital camera Review: Do Not Buy! Flickers On and Off and Cannot Be Used!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because it was cheap. Well, I got what I paid for. I plugged my TV, cable box, and wireless router into this strip and watched TV for awhile. It seemed to work fine. Then I walked across the room and opened a door and boom, all three of those devices went out. I'm not exaggerating, all it took was opening the door vigorously for the power to flicker and the devices to turn off. I went back and tried repositioning the power strip, turning it off, turning it back on, everything I could think of. Simply by moving it around, I would cause the power to flicker and the devices would turn off and then turn back on again a moment later when I moved the power strip again. I can't tell if it's because the switch on top is finicky -- it has an "off" position and a "reset" position, but no clearly marked "on" position, so the middle position must be "on" but the switch is so floppy and insubstantial that you can't tell what position it is in. The problem may also be that the internal wiring on my model is faulty, hence the flickering. Whatever the reason, it doesn't work. I plugged my devices back into the wall directly and they work fine. Spend a bit more and don't waste your money taking a chance on this power strip. I'm kind of irritated because it's not worth the hassle to send it back so I'll just have to go buy a better one at Target or someplace.
