There are lights that let you know it is grounded and the surge protection is on

And it has an LED light to let you know the surge protection is still operational.

It provides 1080 Joules surge protection to 6 outlets and 2 USB ports located at the top

Without introducing a surge into my home's electric service, there is no way to verify the surge protection function but its indicator light is appropriately illuminated nevertheless

Provides surge protection for most electrical connections.

I purchased several of these for surge protection throughout my home

That makes this a basic surge protector, as its name implies; but it still efficiently provides more than the customary two wall outlets, plus the bonus of surge protection

But if we bring a couple of these AmazonBasics 6 Outlet Wall-Mount Surge Protectors along with us, we can plug one in to the nearest outlet and have four extra outlets - WITH SURGE PROTECTION TOO - for a very low price

2 small LED lights show that it has a proper ground and is providing surge protection.

For most uses for this, I just have two-prong plugs, so this flatter Amazon unit is a better design.(My GE one is cheaper, but that's apples to oranges since it has less circuitry: no surge protection nor indication of grounded outlets.)

(The screw you'll need is included in the box.)This one is better than the specific GE units I have in that it has some modest surge protection and will tell you if the circuit is not grounded (which sadly turns out to be true in some of my outlets in this older home).This is different from my GE units in that it sits closer to the wall and flatter; the GE units are thicker and shaped like half a hexagon -- there are two outlets on the front, and two on each angled side

It is just a multiple (6 way) plugin with surge protection, well made & inexpensive.

Not only that, but I'd really like everything to have surge protection because we do have power fluctuations where I live

It is a 6 plug outlet, plus two USB connections for charging and surge protection

the surge protection, which is important as most of what we own now is of high value, think Echoes, stereos, and our phones

This does the job giving additional outlets and surge protection.

Love the lights which display the surge protection being on

Good value for the money and decent surge protection @ 1080 Joules

The indicator LED's let me know that the plug is grounded and that the surge protection is activated
