Review on πŸ’‘ Belkin 1-Outlet Home Series SurgeCube: Reliable Portable Wall Tap Adapter for Versatile Power Protection: White, 1080 Joules by Tony Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No real warranty

I bought this protector about a year ago, about a month before I bought my $3,000 projector. I thought about protection before buying the projector because it was very important not to lose what I spent my hard-earned money on. It was hard to get past the Belkin warranty claim and great reviews. It was a hard lesson that words on a piece of paper mean little." Lightning struck nearby. The light in the room went out and a second later came on again. The audio through my receiver was still playing along with the DVRs, all of which were on a separate surge protector. However, the projector never turned on, it was dead, the surge protector was still on. Both turn signals were still on as if nothing had happened. My house has 3 TVs, 3 computers, 2 A/V receivers and some more expensive electrical components on surge protectors with multiple outlets. Belkin shipped within the required 15 days along with the surge protector (still working), proof of purchase for the protector and the projector showing the sole purpose of purchase was for just such an occasion. They were also sent a professional repair diagnosis and estimate for the repair ($1500 parts only). The PSU was dead as was the motherboard. It was also evidence that that the damage was due to the outcome and not a magical event. Belkin did its own testing and simulated *minor* spikes and found no issues and therefore cannot be held responsible. They even sent me the exact same protector so I can keep using it. Very thoughtful. In short, *never* expect Belkin to seek or receive compensation for not protecting your devices. There is no honor in this company and I will *never* buy a Belkin again. I've never had a breakdown and I hope no one has to go through as much costly trial and error as I have.
