Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Has a high surge suppression rating
A high surge suppression rating generally means that it can work for longer periods of time and protect against higher power spikes. It has a rating of 3940 joules.
Pro Multiple outlets for big power plugs
Along the sides are six spread out outlets which ensure that enough space is available for bulky power plugs. And in the middle, there are six close outlets which keeps the size of the panel compact while still being a twelve outlet surge protector.
Pro Protects against children
Electrical outlets are dangerous, especially for children who might not understand how severe is the danger. To make it more safe against children, it has safety covers on every outlet.
Pro Angle of outlets makes it ideal for wall warts to stay plugged in
This applies to whether the surge protecter is sitting upright as pictured, or even upside down mounted to the underside of a desk.
Pro Has keyhole mounting slots
The newer version of this product does not have keyhole slots for mounting on walls, or the underside of your desk. This version does.
Pro Two USB Ports
At 2.1 Amps shared between both ports it's not the fastest, so consider it a bonus. This version is cheaper than the version without USB ports; go figure.
Pro All six outlets should be usable no matter the bulkiness of your wall warts
It is the rare wall wart that will block other outlets on this surge protector power strip combo.
Cons
Con High clamping voltage
The clamping voltage of 500V is considered rather high. The clamping voltage is an indicator when the surge protector will start to do its job and prevent any excess energy from reaching the plugged-in devices. A lower clamping voltage will, generally, imply that it has better protection.
Con The warranty claim is not being honored
Belkin is known for not delivering on their warranty claims. They promise to cover the price of broken electronics that have been damaged by voltage spikes while being connected to the surge protector. Many report that they simply choose not to resolve such requests.
Con Plug into wall is not low profile
Will take up a minimum of 2-3" from the electric socket.
