MGE UPS Syst. Eclipse PRO 8-OUTLETS Strip (83501)

As someone who owns a built computer, I'm going to need to protect my computer, whether or not power outages are often or not. It's a wise move to give some protection to your PC and perhaps an external hard drive. It is imperative that in the case of an incident, the PC shuts down properly.My thoughts:- 4 Foot long chord. The chord is well designed and has enough length to give you flexibility to move whenever you like. Also, it doesn't need to be deathly close to the wall power outlets.- Spaced out outlets. 3 outlets are conveniently spaced out. I use them for my phone charger, external hard drive power, and camera battery charger.- 360 degree power plug is helpful, especially giving you the freedom to plug it in when you have limited space. Also, it gives flexibility on where you want to plug the strip.Overall, good value surge protector. No complaints thus far.

This beast does what its suppose to.It has a special place for bulky transformer plugs.Looks good and its a surge protector!Best value for these type receptacles around....believe me, I researched awhile.

After all the glowing reviews, I eagerly awaited this item. After about 4 weeks, it arrived from the "Amazon Returns Center".The design is nice as others have noted. It does provide power to the 8 outlets. However, the grounding light does not come on. I called Eclipse, and the rep tells me this is an "old" product, and that when one buys an "old" product "off the internet" sometimes the batteries do not work. Since my product did not come with the manual, I was not even aware that it had a battery. Now that I have it installed behind a heavy piece of furniture, I will leave it there, but I do not recommend this product to others. I hope that the grounding light issue does not indicate a serious problem.

The plug melted and it didn’t pop the breaker it jest keep melting a more and more when I use it until it stopped working and I had to replace my plug

but its just stuff its a plug and it does that simplicity is hard to rate your asking tough tuff qeruesterns

This is a perfect replacement for your old power strips. I don't know why so many manufacturers have had to use transformers as big almost as a brick and integrate them with the wall plug, but it was a big messy headache with all my computer and video equipment. This product solved the problem perfectly by adding three outlets wide enough to handle the bricks along with five regular outlets.I could have given this five stars, but I have no way of testing its ability to protect against power surges, so I couldn't call it perfect.

Good quality surge. I also like the looks of it. Also the plug is flat and can be turned any way you want. So you can plug this in places where there's not much space between the wall and furniture. And the fact that it turns makes it easy to find a place to plug it too (if you have a bunch of other bulky plugs plugged in in the same surge)

I love these power strips. They are perfect for computers, fish tanks, or really anything where you will have a transformer on the plug. My first one (different brand but exact same product) lasted nearly a decade before being involved in an unfortunate incident involving water guns being sprayed inside. Sizzle, pop, done! Certainly not the fault of the product though, and I have since purchased many more.

Good for computer and monitors

Despite getting no response to my inquiry about the surge suppression rating for this device, I took a chance and ordered one. I can confirm that the maximum energy dissipation rating is 2160 Joules, which is fine for me. Happy with the many features that this device offers, especially the flat rotating plug. Would recommend.
