Every home should have one
A surge protector is the thing no one tells you you need. You might think that the electricity supply in the UK is stable, but not so. Brief power cuts can happen at any time, along with spikes in the voltage. Even turning the mains on and off at the wall can cause a power surge. All this can damage your equipment. My satellite receiver had all the audio circuits blown by a power surge and it cost £120 to repair. (Satellite receivers can be particularly sensitive to voltage changes.) So a...

Belkin Surgemaster
Only after purchasing this item did I find that it would not do the job intended, i.e. protect my computer installation. Belkin have developed three stages of protection and this product is the lowest, specifically intended for home (kitchen) appliances such as microwaves, blenders etc. This is termed as "Essential" protection. The next stage is "Advanced" , suitable for Mid level Audio/visual equipment while the third stage "Extreme" is for High Technology equipment (computer etc).The pr...

Belkin Surge Protector (4 Socket)
Another highly efficient, yet underrated product from Belkin. For those amongst you that do not know, your electrical equipment is at risk of being damaged through electrical spikes or surges and most insurance companies have small print which will not cover you for equipment that has been damaged as a result of such events. I purchased the SurgeMaster to safeguard my TV, Video and DVD player. The product is compact and well built and comparatively cheap in view of the protection it provides ...

What can I say about a set of plugs?
Not much ! I needed an extension for a single socket to accomodate a DSL modem and Ethernet hub, so I chose a protected socket extension. Made well, and works well.

It's stupid not to have one
Surge protectors are curious things. You have no way of knowing whether they are working. My PC didn't explode today - was that thanks to Belkin, or because there were no surges? You only ever know for sure that it isn't working, not that it is. But anyway, I have seen a PC explode during a thunder storm. I recovered, but the PC didn't. It was a few years ago, but the PC was high-spec and only 3 months old. A Belkin surge protector costs less than a pizza. Go figure. Any decent math...

A MUST for every household.....
well your never guess what happened..... our house got struck by lightning, the whole house shook and it wasn't good.its lucky that i kitted my whole house out with these surge protectors no more than two months before this happened , they have more than likely saved me thousands of pounds.so , like many others have said its one of those products that holds a question mark but i would seriously recommend that you invest in some of these, before its too late.

Does what it says
I decided to buy the Belkin Surge Protector to protect my TV, DVD player and Playstation 2 which I didn't want to get damaged as a result of the electricity supply. It's great and you really can't lose anything from this apart from 7 or 8 quid. The best part of this is the cable thing which keeps your cables all neat and tidy. And it's well better paying that than hundreds of pounds for new stuff. But on the other side you could say the likelehood of anything happening is rare. You're takin...

Not enough info
Cannot fault the delivery but this protection plug is only intended for normal appliances not computers and it did not tell you this in the description. I was refunded the amount paid very promptly but it would have been better if the description warned you of this in advance - most would buy this device for a laptop or desktop.

Works great, no complaints
What can I say? This does the job. The unit is well constructed and has presented no problems after 6 months use.

Safe and Sound
The Bilkin SurgeMaster 4way is a premium product and has a lit on/off switch (orange) with a green light to indicate that the power is on this is a good feature as I use it to protect my PC, PS3 and LCD monitor and at the end of the day I can just turn off all power with a flick of a button. Branded item and well known so I can be assured my expensive custom built PC and the rest are protected.P.S. just purchased a Bilkin DVI connection for my PC and monitor.
