7 Outlet (6 Right Angle + 1 Transformer Outlet) Surge Protector Power Strip, 4ft Cord, Black, Lifetime Limited Warranty & $25K INSURANCE (TLP74RB)

We love these. They're very handy. I bought one and since, my daughter has went back and ordered more. Read up elsewhere on things it has and with the surge protector, we feel safe with it.

For the past eight years, I've had a laptop that I wound up using as a desktop PC. I recently got myself a desktop PC to update and upgrade-the very PC I'm using to write this review now.I had several devices connected to the laptop: beatmaking devices such as an Ableton Push 2, a 32" TV, a wired keyboard, cordless rollerball mouse, a USB recording interface with two monitors, and so on. I had everything connected to a surge protector. When I was done with my work, I'd shut down the laptop and then turn off the surge protector I had all the devices plugged into.I don't think that practice is healthy for my new desktop. It's already told me, actually, in the form of disk checking a couple of times. But I want to keep the desktop on a surge protector for said device's namesake. This surge protector has given me the flexibility to keep my PC happy while still allowing me to power off all other devices.I have my PC's cord connected to this unit's "Always on" jack. As the name implies, this jack is always transmitting electricity, even if you have every single switch on this unit set to "Off".This means I won't keep cutting power completely to the PC. Yet, with a flick of this unit's master switch, I can turn off all of the other devices I have connected to this unit and to my PC.Furthermore, I have one jack free on this unit. I've plugged a USB charger into this jack. Normally, I have the switch to this jack set to "OFF". But if I want to charge my phone or another device that uses 5 volts, I can switch the jack on, charge the device, then switch the jack back off.This has proved to be an even nicer setup than I had with the laptop and my old surge protector! I can leave the few USB ports remaining on my PC open for data use and still have a means to charge a device when needed!I just hope this protector proves reliable when it comes to dealing with surges. While voltage does sag a lot at my house, we do get occasional voltage surges from utilities, and of course we do have a chance of surges anytime the power is knocked out, be it from an electrical storm or another cause like a vehicle hitting a power pole. But as of right now, I'm very pleased with this surge protector and would recommend it to anyone that needs a surge protector with such a feature set.Just remember, the "Always on" jack can never be turned off unless this surge protector is modified or is unplugged!

I was told by a refrigerator repair person years ago, due to the sensitivity of today's appliances, it's best to use a surge protector to protect one's fridge. This one is perfect for the job.

The 3 strip plug is more like a 2 strip plug. They're a bit close to the point where a macbook charger plug in barely gives room to a normal plug. But that's fine, I only got it to protect a few devices. So far nothing happened so can't comment on that.

I like it so much that my friend took it with him on vacation

Tripp Lite SK3-0 3 Outlet Portable Surge Protector Power Strip, Direct Plug InThis is a very good surge protector, even better if you can get it at a good price. Per the label (see photo, L to R it's the Belkin, Monoprice, then Tripplite) it's tested/listed per UL1449, the standard for Surge Protective Devices (SPD). The Voltage Protection Ratings (VPR) are among the best -- I've seen VPR from 400 to 800 V (lower is better), and the Joule rating is decent. Here is how the Tripplite and two other surge suppressors I own rate:___________________________________VPR______Brand _____ #outlets __ PN _____ L-N _ N-G _ L-G __ JoulesTripplite ___3-outlet SK3-0 ______ 500_ 500 _ 400 __ 660Belkin _____1-outlet F9H100-CW _400_ 400 _ 400_ 1080Monoprice _1-outlet 115877 ____ 500 _ 500 _ 500 __ 540(L-N = Line to Neutral, N-G = Neutral to Ground, etc.)I've used multiple Tripplites for years without any issues. Tripplite has a similar 1 outlet but it's almost the same price as this more versatile 3 outlet. The Monoprice came in a nice eco-friendly cardboard box; the Belkin and Tripplite came in nasty plastic packages. When plugged into a duplex wall outlet, all three still let you use the other outlet (with the Tripplite plugged into the top, and the Belkin and Monoprice plugged into the bottom outlet). The Belkin has the best specs but usually a higher price. I've bought all three of these when the price dipped to around $6-7, often the price is higher like $9-11. I'll buy more of any of these when the price drops down, but I'll tell you what I will NOT buy: anything without UL1449 testing, anything with a 600 V, 800V or higher VPR, or something that advertises a lot of Joules but I can't find out the VPR.For surge protectors I'm more concerned about a good (low) VPR than I am about Joules. Joules indicates how much energy it can absorb before components in the suppressor blow and it no longer protects. Surges vary but let's assume a typical surge had 100 Joules of energy in it. Would you like to have a 800 V (bad) 2000 Joule (great) "surge protector" that lets 800 Volts through to your TV/microwave/computer/washing machine/etc. 20 times before the protected light goes out? I wouldn't. I'd rather have less voltage hitting the expensive device I'm trying to protect, and when the protector burns/wears out, I'll replace it. BTW I think I've only seen 1 time where the protected light went out in my decades of using them, and I have around 20 of various types (they might wear out faster if you live where there are more frequent lightning strikes).I recommend putting a surge protector on every appliance you have that has an electronic (microprocessor-controlled) control panel. If you have an ancient air conditioner, dishwasher, washing machine or microwave with all mechanical controls, you're lucky because it's lasted so long and it's not that vulnerable to surges. But for everyone else, protect your investment with a UL1449 listed Surge Protective Device like this with maximum 500 Volts VPR.The Tripplite says it filters RFI/EMI noise but doesn't state any specs. The Belkin claims to have up to 43 dB noise reduction from 150kHz to ~100MHz. 43 dB is good, but it's the maximum over that frequency range, so no way of telling how little the noise reduction might be at specific frequencies. The Monoprice doesn't claim to do any RFI/EMI filtering. Also the Tripplite and Belkin offer limited lifetime warranties and connected equipment warranties but the Monoprice does not. I have no experience trying to make any warranty claim on these.

This surge protector is just the perfect size if you need one item plugged in. All the other surge protectors were big, bulky and ugly. This item helped me to get my one item plugged in and keep ugly and unnecessary cords out of sight and off the floor. This plug allowed for better appearance in my kitchen with full function of my land line phone base. We had lost one phone base due to a lightening strike and so a surge protector was a must. With this small surge protector plugging directly into the outlet, it does not a cord, which also allows my robot vacuum to clean with out getting tangled. All around a perfect solution!

Works great for a printer left on all the time and allowing independent control for other components.

Tengo un area dedicada al entretenimiento donde tenemos los reproductores de peliculas, la televisión y consolas de videojuegos y la situación que teníamos es que al encender el multicontacto se pasaba corriente a todos los aparatos (algunos se encienden por esto mismo) y con este multicontacto por interruptores individuales nos ha ayudado mucho para resolver dicha situación.También lo recomiendo para usarlo con los electrodomesticos de la cocina, también ayuda a evitar tenerlos todos encedidos a la vez o tener que enchufar y desenchufar de la corriente

El producto es lo prometido en la publicación. Una barra de contactos por más que acomodes y organices no se verá bonita , pero esta es muy practica, marca confiable y funcional. Lo principal es poder apagar y prender independientemente algunos de los artículos conectados. Dos comentarios, aunque están en publicaciones diferentes, adquirí uno negro y uno blanco/gris, el que parece blanco, es totalmente gris (no me pareció visualmente bonito). Tiene un detalle, si lo piensas fijar a un mueble o pared., solo tiene dos orificios para este propósito y están del mismo lado, muy a la orilla (a la altura, detrás, de los apagadores), yo siento que no puedo desconectar algún enchufe "apretado" sin sentir que puedo quebrar los orificios porque hacen palanca, tengo que sujetarla con las manos antes de desconectar algo (otras barras tienen cuatro orificios y aunque solo uso dos, los uso contrarios y no provoca esa "debilidad").

I bought the Tripp Lite SPIKECUBE Surge Protector based on information provided by other reviewers here, and it did not match the information on the back of the product.The correct specifications are (as read on back of device I'm holding): 120V, 15A, 60Hz, 1875W.VPR (clamping voltage): 400V L-N (line to neutral), 500V L-G (line to ground), 500V N-G (neutral to ground).One reviewer mentioned the clamping voltage is 150V. Its clearly not.Another reviewer mentioned buying it for the NordicTrack C1750 treadmill. The treadmill manual clearly says "surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less". The line to ground clamping voltage rating on this device is 500V, so it doesn't look like this product is safe to use with the treadmill, at least according to its manual. I have the same treadmill and bought this product specifically for the treadmill. Will have to continue looking for the proper specs surge protector.Not sure why there is so much wrong information floating around Amazon regarding surge protectors, or whether Amazon is mixing up reviews and Q/A with exact product models.I had a similar experience buying Belkin's surge protector BE108000-08-CM from Amazon, where the information description on the product was wrong (both wattage rating and clamping voltage, who knows what other info is wrong) on Amazon and Belkin's own web site (thanks Belkin).This is the last time I'll be buying a surge protector from Amazon.

I like the concept of this device but not the implementation. It seems that the designers were so happy with themselves for the switch-per-outlet idea that they decided no effort was necessary to design the unit in a way that it is practical to use.The power cord is installed in the most basic and least useful way, poking out the end of the unit with no rotational ability so that if your power outlet is not located in a convenient location in relation to where you want your powerbar, it will be difficult to place.The bigger issue for me is the wall mount holes: they are too small for standard screw heads. I will have to drill out the holes on this unit and hope that the slot itself is wide enough to accommodate the screw heads. In addition, the wall mount holes do not allow for horizontal installation of the unit. I mount most of my power bars to the wall and I'm not sure that I'll be able to do that with this one, which will make it useless for me for what i bought it for. If I can't mount it I'll change my rating to 1 star.I'm disappointed that someone came up with such a good idea but designed the form so poorly. There are well designed units out there (you listening APC?) that would be great with this switch-per-outlet feature.The above said, if you plan on keeping this unit on the floor or desk and don't care where the power outlet is in relation to this unit, then it may be a decent choice for you.

I originally purchased a pair of these outlet strips in 2018 for use with my television stand: I collect retro videogame consoles and wanted an easy way to connect and disconnect power to everything when not in use without having to just unplug everything and leave cables loose. An outlet strip with individual switches controlling each outlet is the perfect solution to that.The quality is excellent: the mainbody is is sturdy plastic, the outlets are tight, the switches securely stay in the position they're left in, and the 6 foot cable is very thick and well protected. Each switch is illuminated when powered to make it easier.My only complaint toward this product is that the cable can be difficult to manage; It sticks straight out the end of the strip with no included way of running it out of any other side of the strip, and the plug is very bulky. It's not particularly difficult to compensate for these issues but they are something to be aware of if you're using this product.I've since purchased another FIVE of these strips for other uses around the house, and will probably purchase another one next time I need a new outlet strip for something. Having a switch controlling each outlet may be unnecessary for some people but it's an excellent option for easily controlling how your electronics are powered.The only other products that I would consider for this purpose would be a rack mountable outlet bar, with outlets on the back and switches on the front, however those tend to be more expensive and more difficult to manage in an aesthetic manner.
