I specifically wanted right angle plugs, and I ordered this product because the item description promised this feature. They're fine power strips at a good price, but the plugs are normal straight plugs, nor right angle plugs.

I purchased this one over others because the description said right-angle plugs. They both have normal plugs. Whether it's good or bad is personal, but the lights for on & ground are very dim and difficult to see in a lit room.

This is very nicely designed and well made surge protector. I can only trust that it will work when disaster strikes, but in the meantime it looks and feels like a very high quality product. When I bought it, I think it cost about $20 for the two pack. Now I see the current price (5/13/09) is $50! At $20, it was a super deal. I certainly would not pay $50 - that's way overpriced.

This is a great surge protector at a economical price. I have bought two of these and I use them in my office, on my plasma tv, on my fish tank, and the last one in my bedroom.

I ordered these for my girlfriend for a Christmas present and she loved them. I decided to order a set for myself. I don't know how accurate the joule rating is. But I think this is a great product for the price.

*UPDATED*
A lot of poeple complain the the plugs not being in a Angle. They do go in a 45 degree angle, but thats for child safty. In fact in that angle the plug would be closed. The groud light is very bright, if your house outlet is not grounded then the light will not be on. I notice this in my girlfriends house we tried different outlets till we found 1 that was grounded! I guess some of the out lets in her house is not ground so I have some work to do.
