I am very happy with my new surge protector. It was one of the least expensive models with 8 outlets. I love the shape because I can plug in lots of bulky adapters without occupying more than one outlet. My rechargeable products have more power now that I’m using this surge protector. No drawbacks or complaints whatsoever.

Purchased this strip to go inside of a charging station. I ended up buying a compact charging station, so the strip is stored behind the station, as opposed to inside of it. Still, the device is just a little bit bigger than my girly fist and can fit all of my phone and camera charger paraphernalia no problems. Great design, right down to the plug that sits flush with the wall, instead of sticking straight out from it.

I chose this model because of its compact design since I am using it on top of a table where I plug in a laptop and external monitor. It’s laid out well to allow multiple power bricks to plug in easily. I haven’t yet had a severe power spike (fortunately), so I cannot comment on how well it will protect the equipment.

Quality is Good and it works very well. I would reccomend this Surge Outlet Cord.

I ordered that Fellowes 99090 to protect a new computer and the several peripherals that attach to it. Its most attractive features are the price, the compact form and the innovative design allowing for as many as eight plugs to attach to it. So far, I am happy with my purchase.
Here are the specs and features:
- 3 line protection
- right-angle plug
- 15-Amp circuit breaker
- 120V 60Hz
- Noise filtering 40-45dB
- Joule rating 1300
- UL 1449 Rating/Clamping Level 330
- 6 ft. chord
- Illuminated on/off switch
- LED surge indicator
- Up to 8 outlets
The warranty paper claims ‘lifetime’ for the item itself and up to $50,000 on connected equipment for 5 years.
The lifetime in ‘lifetime warranty’ promise is not the purchaser’s life but the life of the product itself. To quote from the Fellowes warranty document, “the lifetime of the product is considered to be the time until the product naturally ceases to provide surge protection”. In other words, there is a warranty on the product for as long as it works. To quote again, “when the LED fails to light, the product has performed its duty” and the lifetime warranty is no longer in effect.
As for the $50,000 connected equipment warranty, the paper enumerates 10 instances under which the warranty becomes null and void including “4. Fellowes determines that the equipment was not damaged by an Event or that no Event took place. 5. Fellowes determines that the Surge Protector was not properly installed, was tampered with, or was altered in any way.”
To conclude, this is good value for the price but forget about the warranties. I am taking one star away for the warranty claims.
