Great Value
For $30, this power strip is a great deal and even comes with a short length of Monster coax |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-22
Good product at a great price
This product works as advertized. Cheapest deal I found. Circuit City was going to charge me $100 for a surge protector, I got it for $35 | | Reviewed on 2008-04-26 
Monster Power Strip
As with most Monster products they are superior to the cheaper store bought power strips. Highly recommend. | | Reviewed on 2008-04-09
Good Product
No complaints, I've only had this for a few months and haven't gone through any surges but I do have several other monster cable surge protectors and the whole line is great. For a low end monster it works fine but for really important stuff (Plasma TV, Gaming Comp $2000+) I have a HT850 with stage 1 voltage cleaning. But overall a good product for it's purpose | | Reviewed on 2008-04-06
Good enough
The labeled outlets are a nice feature and the outlets are generously spaced. I agree it would be nice if recording device outlets (DVR, VCR, etc.) were not switched or were separately switched, but that's a minor complaint. As a power strip it is decent but not outstanding.
Technically speaking, the cord is a bit long for a surge suppressor; too much ground impedance for my comfort. I am *not* a fan of cable and phone "protectors" on power line suppressors - there is a significant risk of directing surges through your equipment by creating a ground loop. As my grounding instructor put it, "Lightning is the wolf - don't invite it in." Surge suppressors on the phone line are pointless if your house is fairly new, since the standard protector where the line connects to your house is far more effective than any add-on. If the video cable isn't grounded where it connects at your house, insist the cable company fix it. If it is, don't create a problem by adding a ground where it doesn't belong.
I have more experience than I ever wanted with surges, being responsible for several mountain top microwave sites that attract lightning. Most of the damage I see comes from ground loops, most of the rest is by direct strikes on power lines. If you are in an area where lightning damage is a big problem (especially if your electric service is on overhead lines) you should look into a comprehensive solution for power line entry installed by a licensed electrician.
