Great product so far for my office. Much easier to use than power strip. I affixed it to the wall next to my computer: it's off the floor and within reach. 'Gave it 4 stars to alert you to the size: it is not a discreet piece of equipment, if that is important to you.

I've used a few of these for a couple of years now and am very pleased. The rating is not as high as it could be, but I use it for the things on my beside table that are all low voltage. This includes my cell phone, mp3 player, pocket pc, phone, lamp, and other similar items.

No, it's not small and not really pretty (it is a surge protector after all, not an accessory item for your living room). However, I don't lose one or two plug-ins due to a large brick style plug either like I did with the standard power strip/surge protector. I keep it under the table and out of the way. I will say that it has a rather bright light which is squelched by virtue of being under the table.

Previously, I used the power liberator plugs to eliminate the issue but I really like this instead. Amazon's price is excellent as well!

I have a very nice computer, very nice speakers, and other various peripherals on my desk. To power them, I'm using the Powersquid with surge protection. There's no way I would leave this unprotected, especially since the apartment I'm in has a spotty electrical system that has blown countless lightbulbs for no reason. Secondly, the squid shaped outlets let me plug in transformer box after transformer box with no worries of blocking other outlets. I have two other Powersquids for non-essential electronic devices, I just had to get the surge protection for my 'pute.
