Review on Monoprice 115874 12 Outlet Rotating Surge Protector Power Block/Strip - UL Rated, 4,320 Joules - Black, 10ft Heavy Duty Cord - Grounded & Protected Light Indicator by John Banks

My house had so many electrical appliances it was almost schizophrenic. In addition to our backup generators, we have surge protectors and UPSs throughout. So why do I like it so much? Well I have quite a lot of strips, quite a lot of network filters that are very heavy and don't play well with chords. The parts are too close together and you end up wasting forks. I can name a few consumer products that you might have and since they aren't competitive I think I can. So I have Hue lightbulbs, Raspberry Pi power supplies, a full sound system including an amp, and a couple of wide chargers that I could plug in at the same time. Yes, it's a little wider compared to the strips, but it's a tiny price that doesn't really matter compared to the fact that you don't waste any of the plugs. It's light, comfortable, doesn't draw much attention, looks good almost anywhere, and is so easy to set up and use. and UPS, which had something so easy to use and so convenient, was a welcome respite from the clutter of chords around the house. Plus, with enough space, you can easily add a few different organizational tools so you know which chord goes with which. If you end up using bigger plugs than the ones I've tried, they rotate, so you really need bigger power adapters before you run into problems. If you don't have a surge protector, you might think you don't need it until one day you learn it the hard way. Then you will find that you could save quite a bit without spending much. Do yourself a favor if you have anything remotely valuable that isn't protected buy one (it's as good as anything and for the money it's great I've probably bought about 25 in the last few years, so I think pleasant to talk about). If you have any that don't fit your needs or aren't easy to use, do the same. It's excellent, and while it's "just surge protectors" so it's hard to make it sound too exciting, it's one of those things whose value is you don't know what they are, because they are just do their job, so what.
