Digital camera reviews of Belkin SurgeMaster F9H320-CW 3-Outlet Wall-Mount Surge Protector
Digital camera Review: It died.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had this unit for about a year, and it died. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product and won't buy Belkin again. Belkin said I could return it, but I had to pay for shipping. It was cheaper to buy an APC that did far more than to deal with returning this product. I like APC.Digital camera Review: It saved me hundreds!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can answer the question the previous reviewer asked - at least in this one instance, the unit burned out and prevented current from reaching the protected equipment. I've had my computer and digital phone on one of these for a year and a thunderstorm tonight blew it out but none of the equipment was damaged. I was in the room at the time and it was a huge crackle. I have no doubt there would have been plenty of damage without the surgemaster. Definitely a worthwhile cost/ benefit trade-off in my book.Digital camera Review: Life Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
These surge protectors are a life saver. I live in a mobile home and when a bad storm comes through the area the surge protector does it job. They have saved me alot of money. I have also reccommended this to others.
Thanks,

Digital camera Review: Nicely priced, nicely made, compact product with limited protection
Summary: 4 Stars
A nicely finished, compact, and economically convenient product. Useful for situations where more than one component plug into the same outlet, such as a table holding a printer, fax machine, and pencil sharpener, which is my case. Of course it does not have the same high level of protection in terms of joules that a bulky $75 power bar has. So the question is whether the unit has enough protection for most power surges. The instructons don't help you answer this, not the instructions for this unit or for any other surge protector I have seen. The instructions for this unit are pretty skimpy generally. For example they are silent on what happens when the unit gets a surge bigger than it can handle... does it simply let the execess pass through? In that case it would be reusable (though the protected component could be harmed). Or does it "burn out" by opening the circuit permanently (so it would not deliver current to the protected component after the surge... if that is the case, food in a refrigerator could spoil, for example).Digital camera Review: Not what I thought it was
Summary: 2 Stars
This is probably totally my fault, but I feel like this could have happened to anyone. I looked at the picture of this and thought it was something you could plug into the wall to get more outlets out of one outlet. That is not the case. I have no idea what it actually does (something to do with modems and/or phones because it has a bunch of phone jacks on it) since I don't see how you can even supply it power. So, take heed and make sure you actually know what this is before you order it.
