Review on APC Protector SurgeArrest Essential PE66 by Dominic Mayo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

high quality and features not found in other surge protectors in the same price range

Not all surge protectors are created equal, especially when compared in a similar price range. This is by far the best surge protector for its price range! WHAT I LIKE (compared to my other Belkin surge protector): [+] Nicely and securely packaged in the box [+] Build and quality feels solid and sturdy [+] 6ft cord that feels more flexible and manageable feels when you don't need full length [+] Space-saving 90 degree spade connector[+] 1 dedicated socket for adapter box or bulky electrical plug[+] Holes on back for wall mounting![+] Peace of mind WHAT I DON'T LIKE[ -] As How As mentioned by other reviewers, the bottom light seems to be broken, but that's not a deal breaker for me as long as the protection indicator works[-] It would be nice to add 1 or 2 USB outputs, but that would probably increase the price point rice. so that's not a problem for me either, I don't know why, but it's so hard to find a surge protector strip with locking holes on the back these days. I remember the days when all extension cords had locking holes on the back so you could wall mount it or attach it to something so it wouldn't move when you plugged and unplugged it. This APC surge protector is $3 more expensive than the comparable Belkin model, but you get a lot more features and better quality for that price difference, but the biggest difference is the peace of mind. Conclusion: 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
