I'll add photos that show why I bought this item. (Thanks to the reviewer(s) who mentioned these features, since the product photo doesn't show them.) The plug does not stick out from the wall very far, and the cord comes out at an angle so you can have two protectors plugged into the same outlet. These were both important factors for me.

I bought this device because it had good noise suppression along with it's surge protection at a nice price. The tight fit on connection is a sign of a quality receptacle. The tighter the better (at least up to a point). Hospital grade receptacles are the best and they are extremely tight. I did not consider them overly tight and was surprised to see negative comments about that. The noise suppression was something I was looking for to isolate the computer devices which can generate a lot of "digital" noise from the audio devices plugged into the same source on my HT system. The power strips/surge protectors sold for HT use are highly overpriced. Many surge protectors don't tell you if they have any noise protection or not so I would assume no. The actual specs on how much noise suppression is almost impossible to find out, but my research on these CyberPower devices seemed to indicate they have at least a modest amount of noise and surge protection and since I needed three to go into my cabinets, price was a factor. They seem to be doing their job and I have not had any noise issues so over all I would highly recommend them at this price point.

As a new poorly constructed piece of exercise equipment, this gets 5 stars. As a power strip it's the worst power strip I've ever used. I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a bad power strip.

The outlet plugs have metal contacts that are nigh on impossible to actually plug something into. I had to use almost my full weight on each plug to get it to actually plug in. Now that they're plugged in... I guess they're staying plugged in. I might need to cut it apart to get something out--and that's only a slight exaggeration.

I don't know that it deserves 1* but seeing as that's the only metric by which I know how to judge a power strip: whether or not you can plug something into it I guess it fails miserably.

I almost considered sending it back.

I liked that the plugs were right-angle. I ordered two, but one of the surge suppressors never worked. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, it is a little difficult to plug anything in to these surge suppressors so if you have arthritis, this may not be for you.

This product has parallel outlets, which can help with troublesome/long plugs. I like it and have now bought two of them with no problems so far.

I received a defective model. The red light doesn't work, and the power that gets through is erratic. I tried it in two different wall outlets. It caused flickering in the lamp that I plugged in.

However, even if it had worked correctly, I probably would have thought about returning it. Before I realized that it was defective, I tried to plug in the various electronics that I planned to use with it. Granted, I have a wide transformer. It used up its entire space and partially blocked the first regular outlet next to it. I could have lived with that. However, the other outlets are too close together. I could not plug in my laptop's AC cord and my photocopier next to each other. I tried to leave an empty outlet between them in order to plug in a normal lamp, and it did not fit between them. In other words, for me this would have been a 3-outlet surge suppressor, rather than a 6-outlet.

it works and i like the plug layout. note that the head of the flat plug is at an offset of approx 30 degrees so you can use it easily in the top socket and with something plugged into the bottom.

I purchased this powerstrip primarily because it has a low profile, right angle plug in that wont get smashed between the wall and whatever object is in front of the outlet. It has already saved me replacing an outlet, and possibly avoiding a fire in my kids room. Great product, I gave it 4 stars because it says its 6 feet, but they must have measured from the tip of the cord, to the end of the power strip.

I needed a new outlet for my external hard drive and computer. Got this one because it had the surge protector and was inexpensive. Need a plug-in that works? GET THIS!

I own three of these surge protectors, and I'm quite pleased with their looks and performance at this price point. The flat, 45 degree angle plug is handy for connecting to outlets in tight spaces. The two transformer ports are great for connecting wide "brick" plugs without blocking neighboring ports. The black and silver styling matches most modern computer and entertainment devices nicely. Last but not least, the little red light is a great indicator for when the strip is off.

I point out the on/ff indicator light because I often turn off the surge protector that I use for my Roku box and Nintendo Wii. These two devices never fully shut down on their own, so I like to turn off their power source when I'm not using them rather than allow them to "sleep" while consuming some power and maintaining warmth. This surge protector is perfect for that task!

Five stars!
