Belkin Surge Protector Power Strip w/ 8 Rotating & 4 Standard Outlets - 8ft Sturdy Extension Cord w/ Flat Pivot Plug for Home, Office, Travel, Desktop & Charging Brick - 4320 Joules of Protection

This is 5 stars, it has protected my plugged in stuff already! Idk if its this, but when the power goes out, I still have some time to turn everything off, I don't have a separate power source yet my stuff still stays on even when there's rolling blackouts!! On top of that , it has the versatility of moving the connections however you want so everything can be plugged in. It's definitely good quality and well built and has a small profile. I feel like this review sounds like I'm boosting it a bit haha but I really am not, I was surprised by this. I'd recommend it !

This is my second purchase of the same Belkin 12 Outlet Pivot Plug Surge Protector. I bought my first one a year ago and used it heavily. It was on the floor in a bad spot where people and pets had to step over it so I wasn't surprised when someone stepped on it for the 100th time a few days ago and it just stopped working. That is not the fault of Belkin. I just didn't care for the protector the way I should have. Having said that, my husband I looked at a number of surge protectors for out TV, DVR, VCR, and many smaller electronics and this one fits our needs. It never failed on us for the year we used it, filling every outlet with different devices. We have had many sudden power outages and all sorts of crazy stuff happen but this surge protector appeared to protect our devices.Everything always worked after the surges. I like that the outlets on the outside swivel. It really helps to fit different sizes in there and also for convenience. I am able to fit big block plugs and standard two and three prong lugs side by side. The unit has good weight to it and also has telephone jacks which we don't use but are useful for those who do. I don't know about the lifetime warranty. I didn't contact Belkin because the failure of our last unit was our fault and there was no damage to any of our electronics. The price has jumped $10.00 since last year but I still think this surge protector is a good buy and I have already hooked everything up to the new one and all is running smoothly. If I had any issues with my last one, I would never have gotten the same exact one again. My husband and I both felt this one worked well for our needs and we're pleased to have the new one up and running. We did change where it sits to better protect it from people tripping over it or stepping on it and that should prolong its life. It if it had a 10 foot cord, that would be awesome but eight feet is generally plenty for most households. Some have complained about this unit but we're very happy with it.

In order to install my new QNAP DAS 'Data Garage', I had run out of outlets. This one was recommended by Google Gemini for the simple fact that the connections on the side rotate downward. The cord length was very long and I had to coil it up because I didn't need a long cord. The flat profile looks beautiful under my desk. Now everything is safely plugged in, and I didn't even use all of the outlets. There are also plug-ins in the center of the power strip. It also has its own cable management system at the base so you can run all your cables out the bottom.

I’ve been using this product for years now and it’s been a solid part of my AV setup, hosting my gaming consoles and a bunch of other devices. It has 12 outlets total which is a lot and the rotating (pivot) outlets are my favorite feature making it much easier to fit awkwardly shaped plugs without fighting for space like you do with a traditional power strip. I’ve never had any issues with power surges, which tells me the surge protection is doing its job effectively, and that’s given me good peace of mind over time. Belkin is a brand I trust, and considering how long this has lasted and how often it gets used (all day every day), it’s more than paid for itself. I highly recommend if you want something reliable that can power a bunch of devices.

First, you have to keep in mind that, even though I rate this four stars instead of five, it is the best consumer product of its type on the market. The most important standardized metric for protection of electronic equipment is the clamping voltage. Peak let-through voltage is very important and related, but I have not found a standard by UL or IEEE for that metric. The clamping voltage of this item is 400 Volts. Ideally, you would like to have a surge suppressor with a clamping voltage of 330 Volts; but after looking pretty exhaustively for several months, I have been unable to find ANY surge suppressor for consumers rated for 330 Volts. I mean ANY...!!!! You will look at the package and say, "Where is the clamping voltage SHOWN?" Well, it AIN'T shown anywhere on the package or the Amazon listing! I could not find ANY manufacturer that listed the clamping voltage on its packaging or advertisements. "Why is that," you say. Well, there is some type of collusion within and by the manufacturers to not let you know what the clamping voltage is. Why? I'm not sure. Certainly, 998 people out of 1,000 don't know what it is, and wouldn't care if they DID know. People (and yes, I'm included) are just generally not very bright. You can probably find surge suppressors rated with a 330 Volt clamping voltage once you start getting into the hundreds of dollars for a surge suppressor, but how many of us can afford that? Especially because, if you buy a voltage suppressor that actually works, you will have to buy a new one every two or three years, because the little voltage spikes you get due to relatively normal power outages and lightning events cumulatively degrade the protection you get from a suppressor. And if you have a suppressor that actually PROTECTS your equipment, once it reaches the total capacity of the suppressor to protect, it opens the electrical circuit so that your equipment won't be damaged by a strike/spike. I.e., your equipment won't have power until you replace a real suppressor. If you have a "suppressor" connected and working for more than four years, I promise you it is not actually protecting your equipment. It is allowing the current/voltage through to your device with NO SURGE PROTECTION AT ALL. Yes, it's pretty well planned to hoodwink 99.9% or so of the population. If you know an electrical/electronics engineer, ask 'em. Again, you have no real alternative. There use to be a Rosewill surge protector listed on Amazon that is virtually identical to the Belkin, but I see now there is a message saying "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." If anyone does find a surge suppressor with a clamping voltage of 330 volts, I hope you will leave a note replying to this review, if you can. I won't check it often, but I probably will the next time my surge protector dies from the cumulative spikes I described above. Another reason I only gave this product four stars has to do with the rotating receptacles. I find that the spacing is too narrow to allow me to actually plug a hard drive adapter into adjacent receptacles. The adapter/plug is too wide. So I can only plug in a maximum of six devices that have the adapters (which are larger than standard plugs). As a matter of fact, I can't even plug in another STANDARD plug adjacent to an adapter, because the adapter body actually is so wide that it won't allow most standard plugs to fit next to it. Belkin needs to put another 1/4 inch or so between the rotating receptacles to make all of the receptacles usable. I just shake my head that some manufacturer can't make at least THIS feature usable. You would think a competitor would take the opportunity to make a buck by manufacturing one that actually does what this product is advertised to do.

This is my second purchase, the older one I'm not sure if it wore down or if it was even the faulty part which caused things plugged into it to trip but I bought another one just because I felt it was old and needed replaced anyways. I never had issues with these they work great, the pivoting plug is a great design and the rest of it is quality too including the cord and length of the cord. It's just damn near a perfect product.

So I was looking for a power strip and I needed something with plenty of outlets, good cord length and overall good quality toughness. I decided on this power strip and I have owned it for quite some time. The outlets on this power strip can swivel to allow for larger plugs, different shaped plugs and for ease of access/detachment for any plug of almost any shape. This has helped me fit plugs to these outlets in an organized manner without have to keep the corners or "big areas" on most power strips for oddly shaped plugs. It works great attached to the bottom of my desk and isn't too bulky, just a little chubby but honestly it is fine. It powers my devices and my pc just fine. If I need another one of these, I am definitely buying another one as this thing is outstanding overall.

I have used very old and unidentifiable power surges . it did its job well but over time it so happened that one of the ones that I had has shut down due to how many devices I use . I decided to go through Amazon and my eyes has sat on THIS and OH BOY I'm loving it . I love the heavy duty feel when you either carry it or just plain move it around and I just adore the look of the product itself , the design is an eye candy to me and its main cord cable is big and sturdy , rotating plug sockets ,plus don't get me started on the cable management part that this product got , its something not so many power surges have . I bought Belkin Pivot-Plug Surge Protector - (The biggest version that they have at the moment) - about 3-4 days , I use it to connect to my 800W powered PC that I use for hardcore gaming and two 1 TB of external hard drives all filled with data and lastly I connected my 7 USB HUB from Tagert and the results was fantastic . At first I thought there was something was wrong after connecting all of my devices and pushing the red button , because I noticed some noise coming from the product , but I gave it some time and I noticed that it was gone and it never came back. I have to also mention one thing that just ruins it for me and for you if you are considering buying one of these , if you're the kind of guy who keeps turning off his machines completely to save yourself from highly electric bill costs - after finishing whatever business you had with them - you should know that the problem is with the design of the On/Off button . You could stick your fingernails in it while pressing and chances are you could break it by pressing it over and over and over because you don't need those power running if you don't use it right ? So be very careful with that . Its a shame because they did everything right with this product except for its main function trigger , however if you are like me you'd keep it turned on for a long while , a really long while before relocating it or shutting it off

Perfecto y de muy buena calidad, con opciones para poder colocarlo de una manera efectiva.

I bought this thinking that I would have a surge protector with 12 outlets, ideal for my PC set up that just seem to be adding peripherals, one after the other. On receiving this, the first thing I realised is that I need adapters. All the sockets are the US type and you need adapters to use with Indian plugs. These adapters are not easily available - You easily get adapters to convert US male plugs into Indian male plugs but adapters for converting US female sockets to Indian female sockets are rare and costly. Though, to be fair, Belkin or Amazon are not to be blamed for this as the images clearly portrayed US sockets. The larger problem however is that this won't work in India as it is designed for 120 V AC and not our 240 V AC. The first time I plugged it in and switched on, it blew the fuze and also got damaged inside. It is out for repair and I have yet to get it back. The repair shop says that he can only directly connect the sockets i.e. I will lose surge protection. So, avoid as it is not meant for Indian electric system

Excelente producto. Llevo años usándolo con varios equipos conectados y ha aguantado muchos apagones. El manual original dice que la luz roja de “grounded” indica que hay conexión a tierra estable y en mi experiencia lo he comprobado.

Worst product ever. The quality is degraded. Item seems to be used. Wire cut and scratched. The worst experience of my life with the Amazon. All due to this product.

Interesante supresor de picos marca Belkin,con 12 contactos,los de las orillas giratorios,lo cual permite conectar mas adaptadores(de aquellos cuadrados que aveces te roban 2 o hasta 3 espacios en las barras multicontactos comunes) y al centro 4 fijos,se siente material de buena calidad,trae indicadores de tierra,el cual te menciona o confirma que tu instalacion a tierra esta correcta, otro indicador de protegido,el cual en teoria si falla o esta apagado mientras lo demas tiene energia quiere decir que ya no esta protegiendo al los aparatos conectados contra picos de energia(hay mucha informacion mas especifica en internet).Lo otro que me llamo mucho la atencion es su tamaño,ya que a pesar de que se ve enorme en fotos,videos e incluso en persona,realmente mide de largo lo mismo que una barra multicontactos de 6 conectores(28x4cm),eso si de ancho es mas,sus medidas del belkin son de 26cm x 13 de ancho y sus 2.4 metros de cable(otro gran extra)confio en su proteccion,cualquier cosa andare actualizando esta reseña(pd dejo una foto de comparacion de una barra/supresor de picos estandar contra el belkin)
