They come with an insurance policy against loss, which I would actually trust b/c its APC.A NOTE on the negative reviews in which photos of burnt units are

Good price, just what I needed for multi cords used both end of couch recliners + usb access

Recommended if you need multiple surge protectors because the price is very good.

This product is great APC is a reputable brand and the price was good too

It feels solid and appears to be high quality at a very good price

Great surge protection, multiple outlets, cheap price.

Great design but wish it could handle more than just one event.

Poor design

Works great, easy to plug in from the sides, great design!

It is a great design for this purpose, with the side plugs that it has, meaning that the cords don't stick out perpendicular from the wall but instead are parallel with it

Usually the wall units are too heavy and tilt out of the outlet, but this design is perfect.

Great surge protector to have when the power goes out then comes on.

I needed a good surge protector with side outlets, this works great.

Those photos suggest that the units were ABSOLUTELY HIT BY A MAJOR SURGE, and the claims of the reviewers that no such surge took place are not very likely to be correct.– The bullet-hole-like damage tends to be a dead giveaway of a nasty surge coming through in a split-second and frying the thing.

We wanted to be able to plug in all the things on our nightstand without having to use a huge clunky surge protector

This is a great little surge suppressor and multi-tap outlet

Its closest QUALITY competitor that's worth looking at is Tripp Lite, which is a little more expensive, but superior to the also ran knock offs.

While I do prefer the models that do not require me to take the face plate off of my outlet and screw this one in (I suppose you could rig it to not work that way), this protector appears to be really good quality ..... as I've come to expect from APC.

Nothing was plugged into this APC wall unit when I heard electrical sparking at the same time I smelled burning plastic, and the LED light bulbs in the room's ceiling light began to dim a LOT.Thankfully, I was able to pull this unit off the wall outlet before it could fully catch fire

Very good quality, perfect for behind furniture that needs to be close to the wall.

This could be the reason for the screw not securing as tightly as it should

Great small surge protector for traveling or general small rooms

the protector is sick enough to accommodate an iPad charger comfortably.

Excellent surge protector that fits snuggly in the wall socket

Great surge protector to have when the power goes out then comes on.

I trust APC to provide top quality protection for my electronics.

The fact APC was the least expensive is just icing on the cake

Pros:- APC trusted protection with indicator lights- Compact design with

I really trust APC to deliver the quality protection my devices need.

Very nice looking product and great value for the price

Great value for the money, excellent how they have plugs in the side

This could be the reason for the screw not securing as tightly as it should

terminals- Solid build with quality parts- Great value from trusted

convenient and side plugs keep the front clean looking ..

If the plug is a killer big like Apple power supply you can use just one side

They are perfect for entertainment units and other furniture you want to push as far back against the wall, too, since the outlets are on the side and won’t damage your plugs

Just what I needed and the plugs are on the side and easier to reach.

My plugs are no longer smashed against the back of my dresser!

Nice unit, wish they made a version for decora outlets.

Screw in the middle secures unit to power receptacle so it doesn't come off the wall when you unplug something

I put this unit in the kitchen area for now to protect another echo Dot and a couple other things.

As an old electrical engineer, I now put these in front of our much more expensive Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) units.

I've had expensive units in the past and this works as well or better at a fraction of the cost.

This could be the reason for the screw not securing as tightly as it should

Some commenters seem confused as to how to install it

Works exactly as advertised - perfect for a central family table.

Lately with some severe thunder storms I've proved these to work just as advertised.
