It was a thunderstorm where I live this morning and my modem, which was plugged into the surge protector, was fried. An extremely loud popping noise was heard and the machine Surge protectors should not be left plugged in without "protected" and "grounded" lights on the entire time. I would suggest replacing your surge protector if not already done so.
You just can't see it when you look at it from the front. There is a power switch up by the cord. Please accept my sincere thanks.
There is a 2 amp draw. In contrast, if you have two devices plugged in, you will get 1 amp per device.

Whether or not people who are burning these out are overloaded is a question that has to be asked. You can, for example, install a small space heater in one room. The best way for me to convey these findings is to let Consumer Reports do it for you Among the electric space heaters Consumer Reports tested, 1,500 watts are required to be fully powered. For example, an outlet strip with an 1800 watt maximum for a 15 amp unit means you can only plug in a limited number of additional things and draw very little power as a result. The slightly cheaper version of this version from Belkin that does not come with quite as much in the joule rating has been working flawlessly since December of last year. I am telling you this because I was shocked to see the pictures of the holes burnt into the roof. use it to plug in a lot of things and there is never a problem, but of course it works without a whisper for a standard 46" TV, as well as my 56", stereo equipment, etc. There are a few space heaters in the house I keep for emergencies and I usually just plug them directly into the wall on a separate The risk of a lightning strike is remote with space heaters, but because of the low price, there isn't much of a That is my two cents, even though I am not an electrician. In the past two weeks I have bought two of these for just a few dollars more than I spent on my other one. This device has a few hundred more joules in its rating, like 4000 or a little more than 3900 I really like it. Any changes I make to this review will be posted if something goes wrong.
Due to my ex who plugged in a frayed extension cord outside, I had a breaker trip and my high-end gaming PC, assembled with my own hands at great expense, was ruined. Both the motherboard and the processor are dead. Despite the fact that I am not an expert, 3390 joules seemed like a reasonable protection.
The surge protector on our major electronics didn't help during a lightning strike. This protector was using several of our major electronics at the same time. There were three things missing from our home a 50-inch TV, a Nintendo Switch, and surround sound stereo. Lightning caused other damage to the power strip surge protectors, so the electrician who came to fix it said they were His assertions seem to be correct. Belkin claims it will offer a $300,000 warranty, but we read that it is very difficult to file a claim, so we've decided to just file through our homeowners insurance. Rather than buying an expensive power strip, I would suggest buying a cheaper power strip if you just need a few extra outlets. You can probably ignore this power strip and almost any other power strip if you're looking for protection against lightning strikes. We have been recommended by our electrician to purchase a whole house surge protector, which is about $350. When we find a reliable brand, that will be our solution. It is unlikely that we will buy any more expensive power strips to protect against surges. I'm glad to say this one was a waste of time.
My third purchase of this product has shown a significant drop in manufacturing quality, compared with the previous two purchases. Two of the first ones I purchased over a year ago were reliable and sturdy. The package the product came in has been misshapen since I bought it a week ago. In a nutshell, it's misformed because whoever put it together decided that the switch didn't need to sit straight on the plastic casing and tried to screw it together anyway, so the plastic casing bent and the switch was left "sort of" on it. As they shipped it, that's how it arrived. There was no inspection of the item. Amazon has been really cool and has sent me a replacement right away, but the one I got is quite cheaply made and of the same generation. I wouldn't rely on it for anything else. It acts as an on/off switch, but isn't particularly reliable. In addition, the screws they use are single-headed, so I can't safely open it to verify the integrity of its internal components The use of. Thus, we say, take your time when shopping. So, pay attention to what you buy. There has been a decrease in the quality of production as well as a decrease in the price.
Don't do it! Ignore this piece of trash! I live in a really old house, like predating the Civil War old, and thus bought this power strip based on the brand name of Belkin and the fact that it cost more than your average $8 ones you pick up at the store, so it may work better in my house. You would think for double the money that the performance would be better, wouldn't you? This is wrong! I just found this thing with a hole in the back and a big black spot on my wall where it exploded after being in my apartment for three months. In fact, I've had power strips dating back to 1988 that have lasted longer than that.
In addition to the dual powered USB ports, there are no additional USB ports. According to the advertisement, each amp will provide 12 watts. Based on research using Battery Pro, I was able to verify that the unit receives 1 amp/5 watts for both USB ports combined. Because this unit has a low wattage, the second USB port is not able to provide any current when one USB port is being used to power a device. I either received a piece of equipment that was outdated or I was misled.
**The second minor issue I have is that there is too little space between the power sockets, so any wider power adapter will cover the adjacent plug.
I'm not happy here as the USB outputs are not as described and the outlets are very close together, so you won't be able to plug in any wide plugs. The only downfall is the false advertising about the USB outputs. Even so, mounting is easy and quality appears good. In some cases, Belkin makes good products, such as this one.
