Review on Tripp Lite 6 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip, Direct Plug-in, Gray | Lifetime Limited Warranty & $10,000 Insurance | SK6-0 | White by Brett Bush

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The top around the button gets very hot - potential fire hazard?

I like my Belkin outlets with preset timers, but after 3 of them stopped working I started looking for alternatives. the upper part got very warm even without activating the timer. The higher temp around the button didn't go away so I don't trust the 2 units I bought and always turn them off before leaving the house. Is it normal for the top to get very hot? The description claims very low standby power, but with the warm tops, I feel like my two Tripp Lite units are drawing more power than a trickle, and I'm worried they might pose a fire hazard.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
