A hidden limitation in power strips

The product is fine and the brand has a good reputation. What surprised me is that the back of the unit says you shouldn't use it if the wiring from the outlet to the switch box is less than 30 feet! This is not mentioned on the packaging, nor in the product description on the Internet, nor in the instructions supplied. Most houses do not have this distance. You should clarify this before buying if it is really important for the performance.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Minor problems

Decent AC filtering. Noisy USB ports.

Got AC + USB version. It works decently on the AC side. Strangely, the USB charging ports are very noisy. I was planning on using them to power my Bluetooth audio receivers, but the connectors cause so much interference that I had to use iPhone USB chargers instead. I looked at the USB conversion circuitry in the box, it's just rubbish. Bottom line, don't get the USB version and stick with the basics.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Makes an annoying buzz

I bought two of these devices, one for my computer and one for entertainment. It looks solid, the case is made of very durable metal. Unfortunately, it makes a very annoying buzz when you plug something into it. Strangely, it doesn't make any noise when you plug something into the first two sockets. With other outputs, the noise is amplified. I suspect this is due to the perceived isolation between outlet banks, which seems to exacerbate the problem. Not worth returning, but suffice it to say I

My treadmill saved!

This is the only surge protector that will prevent my Gold's Gym treadmill from turning off (GFCI sockets, homemade 2003). I have had a treadmill for almost 5 years and have tried several surge protectors. Nothing helped. So I just started storing clothes on it and stopped using it. It was frustrating having to go to my "hot" garage and flip the breaker every time I wanted to exercise. This is especially exacerbated when you don't "want" to exercise anyway. So now I have no more excuses. I've…

UL Listed (Isobar 8 Outlet)

Based on my previous experiences with Tripp-Lite I had high hopes for this ISOBAR 8 Outlet SPD. However, much to my disappointment, the model I received is not UL listed. It is ETL certified, which means Tripp-Lite cannot list it on the UL. Either there's a bug preventing UL testing, or Tripp-Lite has opted for a cheaper alternative. Worst of all I ordered a set of two surge protectors from RevainBasics and they ARE UL listed. That's just not acceptable - if a company that makes a product for a
