Digital camera reviews of Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Rotating Plug and 8' Cord
Digital camera Review: It melted into our outlet
Summary: 1 Stars
We were using it in one of our kitchen outlets. We were only using 4 out of the 6 outlets and not even on very high-powered appliances, and after only 3 months of use we noticed that one of the metal prongs had melted into our wall outlet. We almost couldn't pull it out! Luckily all our appliances were ok, but it took us a while and a lot of hassle to have to re-trip our circuit breakers to get the power working again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!Digital camera Review: Very practical
Summary: 4 Stars
Very handy. Works great for spots with limited space like behind a bed or nightstand. Especially if you need to swivel the flat plug in a particular direction. Digital camera Review: Melted into our outlet within ONE week!
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, it looked great, nice and compact, BUT within one week, a fishy smell developed in the corner where the outlet was. When I researched fishy smells in houses, surprisingly, electrical problems came up. So, when I pulled out the plug (where the surge protector plugs into the wall,) the plug was melting and burning, and, in fact, left its metal prongs in our outlet! So, by unplugging it, our house didn't burn down (a good thing), but now we have an unusable outlet until we get an electrician in (a bad thing.) Buyer beware! Btw, we've used Belkin surge protectors for YEARS in the same outlet with NO PROBLEM; I think it's just this model/design that's faulty.Digital camera Review: what i was looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a surge protector with a rotating plug because the socket was in an awkward location.Digital camera Review: Great for what I need
Summary: 5 Stars
Rotating flat plug is excellent, you can pretty much accomodate any need without blocking plugs, and it really is quite flat. This is just an inexpensive power strip and that's great. I probably have 10 power strips around my house, and who wants to pay a lot for them?
I notice a reviewer complaining about fried equipment. If I had anything expensive to plug in, I'd put it on a Cyberpower or APC UPS with AVR. I don't expect any power strip to do much to protect against big power spikes. Even a high-priced power strip is still just feeding you raw power out of the wall with some sort of switch-to-ground in case something spikey comes along. With the Automatic Voltage Regulating UPS you can get clean power and even Pure Sine Wave output but you won't get that in a cheap little power strip.
