4.0 out of 5 stars Nice wall mounted surge protection with a slight vampire load, June 23, 2011

(What's this?)

I was shopping for surge suppressors and came across this Belkin wall mounted unit. I like wall mounted units better because I hate having power strips laying on the floor. This unit has the added bonus of having two USB charging ports on it.

Pros,
- 2 USB charging ports for phones, IPODs, etc.
- wall mounted.
- $25,000 insurance protection.

Cons,
- The USB chargers always draw a small bit of electricity even when not being used. I plugged this surge protector into my Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor and found it drew a small current.
- The $25,000 insurance policy has some small print. Every cable going into your protected device needs to be run through an approved Belkin device. So if you plug in a TV, the coax connector has to be plugged into a Belkin device. Protecting a PC? You need to be using wireless, or you need to have your network cable going through an approved Belkin device. Not a major problem, just make sure you are actually covered by the insurance policy BEFORE a disaster hits.
- The outlets in my house are the square, flat type that do not have a center screw hole to mount this unit. I had to change the outlet to a standard outlet which since I had everything on-hand, and am comfortable with electrical work, took me about 5 minutes.


My overall opinion of this item is that it does its job as advertised. If it fits your needs and the slight vampire power load do not bother you, then it will work out just fine for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charges iPad; charges 2 things at a time!, March 18, 2011

This review is from: Belkin 6 Outlet Surge Protector with USB (Electronics)

Really surprised to see people here having problems charging an iPad or two things at a time. Not only can I charge my iPad with this, but I can charge my iPhone at the same time! And yes, I'm charging them over the USB power ports. I have an original iPad (not an iPad 2) and an iPhone 3GS.

Overall I'm delighted with this product, and I ended up buying a second one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Burnt Plastic Smell???, June 29, 2011

By 

technut - See all my reviews

This review is from: Belkin 6 Outlet Surge Protector with USB (Electronics)

I purchased this, plugged in my phone into the USB and table lamp into the AC, and suddenly noticed my phone was not charging. The plug had burned through in a matter of 3 minutes.

So purely for the fact that it stopped working within minutes of plugging in, I have to give a low score for reliablility.
Also, there were no arguments about sending the unit back or anything, so it seems like a possibly common issue?
