Digital camera reviews of Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Rotating Plug and 8' Cord
Digital camera Review: Great Product....wonderful idea....
Summary: 5 Stars
The rotating plug is such a great advance in this product. The flat side mount works great and that made a big difference in the ability to run the cable flush with the wall. Thanks Belkin!!Digital camera Review: Great Straight-Forward Surge Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
The swiveling flat head plug and eight-foot cord on this surge protector are great for "bringing out an outlet" from behind furniture. I've owned three of these for several months and they all perform as designed.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.
Digital camera Review: Great product - rotating plug is genius
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a couple of these recently from a retailer who shall be nameless. They are low cost and seem to have reasonable quality. I wouldn't bet that their surge suppression is very effective - I just want something that provides more plugs. The plug head rotates so you can use these with the top or bottom plug of a two plug outlet, unlike most power strips - normally if you plug into the top plug socket, the head and cord of the strip blocks the bottom plug socket. Because this head rotates and the head is quite small, you can rotate the cord so it doesn't cover the bottom socket. Also if you need to run a cable vertically up a wall, this will allow you to do that without any trouble.
The only downside to this device is that all the plug sockets on the strip are aligned in the same direction. So if you have a lot of "wall warts" with the bulk of the device *below* the electrical prings, then you'll run out of space rapidly with this device. There are solutions to that and lots of power strips have this problem, but I thought I would mention it..
Digital camera Review: Great product.

Works great. The Amazon picture is not correct, the cord is 8 *FEET* long not the 8 inches as is shown. The longer cord is perfect for my needs.
