  • Summary: Let's plug it in..
  • Comment: Belkin are the "cream of the crop" with regard to some
    electronics. They know their 'joules'. This is a stylish
    attractive piece of art, with lights amd whistles...
    The packaging is awful, but it serves a purpose. Items
    tend to sometimes have rough journeys.

    The puzzle about the screw on the back, finally unfolds
    when you read the 'adendum' packaging note..about 3 times.
    It replaces the wall plate screw, and everything else may
    fall into place.

    Belkin, along with APC provide the protection,[in our case
    for kitchen appliances]and the custoner has the pleasure of
    their backup.Obviously based on decades of manufacturing.
    Go buy a few..I still need to plug mine in!! Need to leave...

  • Summary: Nice looking outlet multiplier, hate the packaging
  • Comment: We rarely get lightning in this area and very few power surges. I have never lost anything to a power surge. So, I can't speak to how well it would do as a surge protector. I bought this unit mainly to convert a two-plug outlet into six under the kitchen sink.

    One of the reasons I chose this particular unit was because another reviewer complained that it only had one plug on the back. That turned out to be the clincher for me. Before we remodeled the kitchen, the garbage disposal was operated by a switch next to a light switch. The bottom plug in that outlet was wired to the switch. The new disposal has a button in the countertop next to the water faucet, so the switch is not needed. Now we have three appliances that need A/C and only one plug since I do not want any of them on the switch. This unit was perfect. Now I get six outlets and none of them are on the switch. Luckily, the Belkin plugs into the top outlet, because that's the one that's not wired to the switch. ;-)

    I like that it has a grounded light in addition to one that says it's working (not fried). I like that I get six outlets. I like that it screws securely into the center of the base, just like the faceplate.

    I guess I like that it goes over the faceplate, especially since it does would not completely cover the cutout. I love the suggestion of another reviewer to tape the screw to the Belkin so it will be handy if you remove it and need to secure the faceplate. This works perfectly under the sink. It would not work so well if it were installed on a wall or counter. It is attractive enough that it could be installed where it would be visible.

    I like the unit. I am deducting one star for the packaging. It comes in one of those maddening clamshells that require the Jaws of Life to open. I have cut myself several times trying to pry something out of those packages.

  • Summary: Lousy clamping voltage rating
  • Comment: On the back of the package, the UL Clamping Voltage is listed as 500V. The package says that for "sensitive electronics," you should get a clamping voltage rating of 400V or lower. So, the package is telling you that this product is NOT a good choice for sensitive electronics.

  • Summary: Great concept, slightly poorer usability, great affordability
  • Comment: The surgemaster is a great concept by Belkin for expanding those measly two-port wall power plugs. Home builders could take an example from this concept by making them a standard in modern houses. Until then however, Belkin has saved us all by providing this add-on for us people to use.

    The main attraction of this plug is that it is also a surge protector in small form factor. I couple this with my other Belkin surge protectors and battery chargers for a pretty nifty setup that makes me feel pretty secure.

    A fun little perk is that the unit screws into the faceplate, making it semi-permanent, so you can pull and plug items as much as you want without worrying about pulling the whole thing loose. Just make sure you keep the original screw taped onto the side of the protector so when you relocate it you'll still have the screw to put the plate back in place.

    The only problems I have with the unit is the closeness of the plugs on the unit itself, and that it only plugs into one of the outlets in the wall.
    If you have anything where the power brick itself has the prongs on it, you'll be rendering at least one of the other prongs useless; at worst, you will only be able to fit up to three or four plugs. However, I use five of these plugs happily at the moment (three chargers, two surge protectors)

    Lastly, the unit only uses one of the plugs from the wall. I'm not sure if this makes a difference (power draw overload?) but it's a small nag against my overall satisfaction with this product.
