> 3 dayIve always bought surge suppressors and the like from APC. Theyre very reliable and well-made. The equipment protection guarantees are great, too. This strip is not as sturdy as some other APC strips, but it is also less expensive. Perfect for basic home use (a TV, Xbox, etc). Id get a higher up APC model if youre protecting a workstation computer or high end audio gear. But for basic stuff, this strip is a good value. Id trust this far more than a lesser known brand.

> 3 dayBeen using this item in my home office for only a week but I have lots of experience with APC products and, so far, I expect this surge protector to follow suit. It feels well-built and I had no trouble at all plugging all my home office menagerie into it. The flat wall plug is also a great feature and allows my desk to fit snugly against the wall. Go with APC and rest easy. You can trust their products!

> 3 dayI have to have surge protectors with the on/off buttons because my apartment is so old. I have to have one at nearly every outlet. They work great.

Greater than one weekI only buy surge protectors that have EMI/RFI noise filtering. I have a sensitive short wave radio with a sleep timer that I use when going to sleep. It has a rechargeable battery so you can either use it plugged in or on battery power. Ive always had static on the radio when it was plugged into this surge protector. Cords generally do cause interference in radios so I thought nothing of it. But it started to get really bad. So I took one of my old tripplite surge protectors with emi/rfi noise filtering and plugged the radio into that. No static or interference on the radio at all. I went to APCs website to see if this model has EMI/RFI and it looks like it does....but it sure doesnt work well on mine. I dont want to disparage APC. I have several of their surge protectors. Just bought the big P12U2 model they have and love that one. I think it just has better circuitry than this budget model. Im using the P12U2 on my TCL 55 TV that was flickering and was glitchy turning on and off with a different surge protector from another company. Anyways, the ACP P12U2 works great and appears to have excellent noise filtering. Just wish the P12U2 had a flat plug because I bought it to use for my computer, but couldnt because I couldnt push my desk up against the wall with that straight out plug. Anyways, Ive strayed. This is a good basic surge protector I suppose. Would not recommend it for sensitive electronics prone to interference. Then again, maybe I just had a bad one, who knows. APC is a great brand. All my surge protectors are either APC or TrippLite. Cant go wrong either way.

> 3 dayTheres one minor issue with this, which is the mounting holes on the back. Theyre 3-sided (T-shaped) as you can see in the picture, and the one side thats missing is the orientation that you are most likely to want to mount it, with the three sideways plugs downward so that large power bricks fit there and hang downward. Other than that, its a quality product.
