Reviews around build (4.78 of 5)

  • Good build quality, wished the casing was of slightly thicker gauge.
  • was having problems with my guitar signal, using pedals,ac adapters, worked like a charm, the space between outlets isnt great so you may only find that 3 or 4 are usable at a time depending on what yer plugging in (ex. wall warts) but its built solid and priced right.

Reviews around unit (4.70 of 5)

  • In a commodity sea of these things, this unit is a standout.
  • That aside, it’s a very nice unit, well constructed and sturdy
  • Also this is NOT a power conditioner like their more expensive units, though it's listed under power conditioners on Amazon
  • I guess the unit looks sturdy so it makes buyers believe that it's better than it really is.
  • Nice to have one switch on a well made unit to power off and on.

Reviews around construction (4.68 of 5)

  • if you are a dj or musician and drop it or rough hande it, the internal wiring to the sockets are only pressed in spring loaded, not screwed in or soldered, they will fall out or make a weak connection, internally cheap construction
  • Heavy, solid, metal construction with a long cord that reaches well into the stages we play on.
  • Solid construction - I use these in my workshop as well due to the tough chassis design3
  • When you can get it under $30 it is an amazing product, nice long cable and sturdy construction
  • This power strip has a great cord length, and is solid strong construction

Reviews around surge (4.43 of 5)

  • Yes, it is a great surge protector, but the ports are too close together
  • a good surge protector is well worth the money and the high speed telephone modem cable
  • This unit is just a survey protector, nothing really fancy, but it's so much better than those cheap plastic surge protectors you can buy
  • Works great in my studio well made not a cheap surge protector
  • It is solidly constructed and I would take this over the several hundred dollar Monster surge protectors any day.

Reviews around furman (4.41 of 5)

  • The results I get are great, no difference with the more expensive Furman M-8X2 Merit Series 8 Outlet Power (especially when it comes to noise reduction)
  • I have several Furman rack unit power conditioners and like the Furman brand.
  • I also recommend the Furman M-8Dx power conditioner for a home theater.
  • You can buy a decent Furman Power Conditioner and have that connected to the main outlet in your
  • Will probably return and get a more expensive furman power conditioner to see it can address the EMI/RFI better than this box.

Reviews around cord (4.37 of 5)

  • This is a high quality power strip with solid outlets and a very long cord
  • One other feature relating to the weight which is kind of weird is that when people use the cheap drug store plug strips, there is always a chance that the cords attached to it will lift it off the ground making a tripping hazard as well as an unsightly messy cord situation
  • Another EZPZ fix if you find a GOOD cold-weather 12/2 cord (I did) to replace the original
  • Quality construction, surge protection and a nice long cord.
  • Solid Furman quality with xtra long flexible power cord.

Reviews around cable (4.12 of 5)

  • Nice build quality and nice long cable firmly attached to metal box
  • Super long cable to hit the just out-of reach outlets at many venues.
  • When you can get it under $30 it is an amazing product, nice long cable and sturdy construction
  • It provided a lengthy cable to easily make it to those normally out of reach corners, was built SOLID and offered plenty of outlets for multiple electronics to be plugged in
  • Highly recommend and the extra long cable can be really useful

Reviews around power (2.99 of 5)

  • My solution was to replace my cheap $13 power strip with this bad-boy
  • It's an extremely nice power strip but not a power conditioner at all.
  • I don't know how Furman packs such a clean power conditioner into the space of a larger than average power strip, but they do it
  • Highly recommended instead of the cheap plastic power strips.
  • I had some problems with "dirty power" at a location I'm at quite often.

Reviews around plastic (2.23 of 5)

  • Works as we hoped it would.
  • Power strip seems good, but for $35 I’d expect heavier gauge metal, and the plug receptacles themselves sink into the chassis of the plug contacts are tight ...feels like cheap plastic plug receptacles.3
  • No published specifications on clamping voltage (for any leads, L-N-G), no published specs on total Jules of surge protection, no master off feature, no info whether it cuts power after surge protection is over
  • Someone told me once: Buy the best surge protector as you can afford.
  • my other cheap plastic power strip i bought at walmart would not sit flat on the floor ,ordered this Furman surge protector had it for a few weeks ,works as advertised

Reviews around cycle hum (2.18 of 5)

  • Glorified power strip, looks great nice long cord, does nothing for 60 cycle hum or dirty power, if you want a cooler looking power strip with a long cord here you go.
  • I also recommend the Furman M-8Dx power conditioner for a home theater.
  • Helps cut down on 60 cycle hum and ground loops.
  • No published specifications on clamping voltage (for any leads, L-N-G), no published specs on total Jules of surge protection, no master off feature, no info whether it cuts power after surge protection is over
  • The filter helps kill seemingly ubiquitous 60 cycle hum (and the classic rock FM station interference my Fender Rhodes piano likes to pick up and amplify), and is especially helpful when playing club gigs in bars with flashing neon signs, dirty power, etc.

Reviews around noise (2.05 of 5)

  • eliminated the nasty noise from my peddle board and powered PA studio speakers
  • Purchased one for a family member who lives in rural area where the power fluctuates and this is used to protect her electronics and clean up any signal noise from electric current actually seems to give a moderate boost to performance to equipment.
  • Also, some reviews say that this has gotten rid of humming noise.
  • Does not fully eliminate him noise but protects you’re gear!
  • Does kill some noise by comparison to the house plastic units most use.

Reviews around loop (1.54 of 5)

  • These are made of excellent quality, and they get rid of ground loop hum.
  • No published specifications on clamping voltage (for any leads, L-N-G), no published specs on total Jules of surge protection, no master off feature, no info whether it cuts power after surge protection is over
  • Get a few of these and daisy chain them together and voila, plenty of conditioned power without worrying about a ground loop (ground loops introduce hum into your system)
  • This got rid of ground loop noise that was being transferred from my desktop Mac to my studio monitors
  • I had tried the Hum DeBugger from ElectroHarmonix, the Ebtech Hum X Ground Loop Eliminator, new cables, old cables, etc to no avail.

Reviews around emi rfi (1.54 of 5)

  • The advertised "EMI/RFI Noise attenuation" doesn't seem to be doing much of anything either
  • I've utilized Furman power conditioners over the years and this surge protector does a great job at EMI/RFI noise attenuation as well as protecting your equipment.
  • I also recommend the Furman M-8Dx power conditioner for a home theater.
  • I wish I could give this a better review, but the EMI/RFI noise attenuation did very little to address the noisy power in my apartment
  • If you're thinking about buying this because of the EMI/RFI noise attenuation, then I'd advice you not to buy it and seek other allternatives, as you'll be wasting your money with this one.
