I used an 880 to hook up my A/V equipment: a TV, DVD player, VCR, amplifier, and an XBox. There was a power outage in my community. After power was restored, the VCR and XBox would not power up. Everything else connected to the 880 worked fine. I had my VCR and XBox checked out and both were fried by the power surge. I submitted a warranty to CyberPower and got a new 880 in the mail immediately. The warranty process was very smooth and very quick. CyberPower paid me 50% of what I originally paid for the VCR and XBox. Their warranty clearly states that they will only pay fair market value of the damaged equipment.

On one hand, I can't recommend CyberPower because I got a defective surge suppressor. But on the other hand, the warranty claim process was pretty smooth. I was lucky I kept the receipts for the 880, my VCR, and my XBox. I definitely wouldn't recommend connecting your most valuable electronics with this surge suppressor. You should consider a UPS even if it's just for surge suppression. The circuitry in UPS is much better quality-wise than surge suppressor outlets.

I got sick of replacing my battery backups every 2 years so I decided to use a power strip for my TV and related electronics. I've been using two of these for the past 6 months with no problems. The covers operate freely and there's plenty of room for all my plugs.

This is a surge protector which has worked well for me and has a high rating on Google Shopping. The price of this item is lower than most similiar suppressors with comparable features and protection.

Works great and had everthing I need for alot less than the local stores A++++

This is exactly what I was looking for and the price can't be beat. The one problem is that plugging in the power cords for my entertainment system was a fight for all but one outlet. Considering power plugs have been standardized for decades, this was a little odd, but once they were in, everything works.

you spend lots of money for your electronic equipment and get cheap on this. it not only protects but is an insurance policy if something goes wrong. i own one of these and bought 2 more because i learned how important EMI/RFI filtering is and other don't seam to offer this unless you pay much higher. what should you look for in a surge suppressor, 1. 2800 joules should be the minimum for your computer and av equipment, 2. EMI/RFI filtering on all lines, 3. coaxial/phone/Ethernet input/output all filtered and protected, 4. special transformer spaced plugs, 5. long power cord with flat wall plug. this has it all and unlike the person who had 2 defective plugs hope no one ever has that problem but it's nice to hear they stand behind their warranty.

I bought a similar model to this a while back and more recently came and purchased two more of this model. They are great. The design really works well and big transformers fit nicely. Of all the surge protectors I've owned I think these are the best.

This has quite a bit going for it for the price. Eight outlets and 2800 joule rating make it a bargain. You also get the other connectors thrown in if you want them, phone and ethernet, plus they give you a couple of cables.

I found this item on clearance at walmart for $2.00 more than here at Amazon. After looking closer, the Walmart one was not even as good. This one is 2800 Joules and Walmart's was only 2400. Made this deal at Amazon even better.

This is not a surge suppressor nor does it provide "clean power". It is a basic surge PROTECTOR as the package says. This means that only if the voltage goes above a certain number will the protector kick in and pull your electronics off the circuit. As far as a basic surge protector goes, this one doesn't seem too bad. Just know that it only a protector and does nothing to regulate or condition your voltage.
