- Died in less than a month
- Bought it because it handled the large size plugs, but obviously dying negates this feature.

- Belkin Compact Surge Protector
- This Belkin protector is a very good product. It saves a lot of space, has many outlets, and looks very modern. Compare to a store price, it can be bought at a very decent price on Amazon. You can also find this product wothout shipping cost.

- Missing adequate features and limitations
- Disappointed with what I received.
I bought this to use a power distribution center for an aquarium. What's the first thing I see: Not suitable for aquariums. On the box and on the unit itself, but not on the website description.
Also, there is no circuit breaker or on/off switch with this unit. First time I've seen one of these without a master power switch and a breaker. - 2008-06-11, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Thoughtful design + affordable price
- Good, clean design and layout. Flexible enough to accommodate up to 6 power bricks without blocking the other outlets (4 on the wide face, 2 more on the ends of the narrow face). A "Not Grounded" warning light is a great feature that provides additional peace of mind.
I mounted it on the underside of my desk to get all the wires off the floor. The thoughtful design extends to the keyhole for screw mounting which gives you the option of forward or sideways engagement. It works even better when upside down because the cables hang down instead of draping over.
On the quality side, the on/off switch feels flimsy, and 3 prong, grounded plugs take some effort to pull back out. Belkin probably figured these actions aren't frequent enough to warrant complaint, i.e. most people just plug in, switch on, and forget about it for the next three years, and cost reduced these components to keep the price down. It's a good compromise. I'm very pleased with the product and the price! - 2008-03-29, 6 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Eureka, I have found it!
- My last surge protector blew up along with a DVD player, and it was not a pleasant experience. Luckily, everything else that was plugged into it survived, but I figured it was time to find a surge protector that I had been seeking since the dawn of time (make that the dawn-of-my-first-computer time). Trying to make all the plugs fit was an exercise in frustration and the units never stayed in place because the weight distribution always tipped the things over. This little gem solved all those problems and looks good besides. I finally found the surge protector I wanted and needed! It is worth every penny.
