🔌 Reliable APC P1T 120V Portable Surge Protector in Sleek Black Design Review

Outstanding surge protection. I have them on a variety of electronics (printers, phones, laptops) that don't require full power or universal power supplies (UPS). Very portable for laptops in case you travel. You don't need a phone/Cat 5 connection at this point, but if you do, great.

Bought these for a trip and they did a great job. We mainly used them on our wearables rather than trusting unprotected resort outlets. The protection LEDs are nice and bright. The surge protector is rated at 540J with a transmittance rating of <330. So this is a quality little protector that I trust when traveling with my smartphone, tablet and laptop. Of course, it can only be used on one device at a time, but it's small, compact and designed for this type of use.

I bought one of these to protect my washing machine. I can't say for sure if this device protected my washing machine from surges as both the washing machine and the APC P1T are still fully functional but from my understanding APC is a respected company in the power protection industry so I think so is a quality product.

Over the past four years, our area has had several severe lightning strikes. We protect our electronics with APC UPS battery backup systems for high value equipment and use the P1T where a UPS would not fit (refrigerator, garage door opener, etc.) or for smaller electronics such as answering machines and laptops. None, I mean none of the equipment protected by APC surge protectors or UPS systems has ever been damaged. This does not apply to devices that are "protected" by surge and redundancy…

There are many laptop surge protectors on the market, and most lack the most obvious: durability and functionality. Not so with this little gem. The APC P1T has a job and it does it well. Indicator lights ensure the device is protecting your computer, and the hard plastic case is as durable as a portable device. Metal pins are equally strong, will not bend or break. I bought two to use in different places. Price and performance characterize this product.
