Our decades of research and development have led us to the release of this breakthrough series. We’ve used advanced design elements, top-quality construction, and superior circuitry and components to provide the most complete protection from power surges, spikes, and AC contamination available.

The 6′ cord is nice, and otherwise not really any complaints…
except the on off switch is in a kinda awkward place, and its hard to tell wether its on or off.

I gave it 5 stars not because the product is that outstanding, but the service provided by Amazon Prime is. I bought it via my Prime account and my item arrived as scheduled. However it got stolen from my front door before I could collect it. I called up Amazon and they reissued a new one for me with free one-day shipping. This time I was at home to receive it and the product is working fine for me.

I’ve bought a couple of other belkin surge protectors several years ago due to their reputation, I haven’t had a power surge or lightning strike that I know of, so I can’t tell you if they really do more than provide multiple outlets. As they are I’m content with them.
This one seems ok. It doesn’t have the light that the more expensive ones have to show that it’s switched on or not. I think my other two also have lights that show that the surge protection part is still functional, I don’t know if the surge protection part wears out over time, or how it works actually.
For this one however, if you have those brick sized plugs, it’s going to cover up at least two outlets due to the outlet spacing on the strip.
When I plug in an item there is a lot of resistance, on some of the outlets more than others, like something is slightly out of place blocking the outlet a bit. I’m thinking I should return it, in case it’s an indication that the surge protector is poorly made and it might not work.
I currently have doubts about Belkin’s reputation in general, as I’ve been seeing online that they paid .65 cents per positive review at amazon, new egg, and buy.com (regardless of whether person had bought product or not). [...]
It does not surprise me though that people are faking reviews on websites, I’ve found some to sound overly enthusiastic and treated them with a grain of salt (particularly with books). It’s just too bad that it’s to the extent described in the article.

After using this surge protector for a month, it suddenly died. The only things that were plugged in it were a bedside lamp, a cell phone charger, and occasionally a laptop adapter.
I recommend against purchasing this surge protector, and instead spending a few more dollars to get a better model. The $10-13 ones are much better.

Belkin continues to provide high-quality products for all of my needs. I own multiple Belkin products and they continue to prove trusty and reliable. This surge protector is thin and will fit anywhere you need it to. Perfect for behind your entertainment center as extra outlets or even to serve as an extension cord.
