1.0 out of 5 stars Extension cord would be a better description, September 14, 2010

This product description is very misleading. Amazon lists the retail price as $28 reduced to 13.99 but the APC web site lists the price at 12.99.... a dollar cheaper than Amazon. The low price makes sense because it only has 240 joules of surge protection per the APC specs (which amazon conveniently left out of the description). That makes it a little better than an extension cord. If you want real surge protection make sure you get something with a substantially higher joule rating.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good surge arrest, October 30, 2000

The APC Per7 surge arrest is really good. With 7 sockets, it almost has everything you want to put in. However, the sockets are very near each other, so if you are putting a big adapter in it, it almost occupies 3 sockets, making the other 2 unusable.

I think I made a little mistake buying it. I highly recommend going for the APC pro8T2 Surge arrest which is better in all ways, and has a complete value for money!

4.0 out of 5 stars APC Personal Surge Arrest, December 1, 2000

I own two of these already and they are fine for typical plugs. It is built very sturdy and you can mount it to the wall as well. The only drawback is that this particular model has the on/off switch located on the top which makes it succeptible to hitting the switch by mistake.

The spacing of the outlets are ok but you may have trouble with bigger adapters. That may block another one of the slots.

For normal day use, it is a good surge protector which I recommend...beats buying a cheap surge protector which has cheap circuitry. At least with APC, you know you are getting a good protector.
