I was really pushing the limits of my mid-range Monster surge protector with 2 TVs, a 2.4Gig P4 with desktop TV, DSL, two printers, and .....drumroll please.....a fridge all crammmed into a corner office setup about 7' wide. The Belkin Gold unit with RF/EMI suppression up to 75db cured all the rattle and hum problems with speakers, satellite signal, the "dirty" line into my modem, and a week later I haven't had to reboot my system once. Amazing!

I had already had a great experience with a Belkin SurgeMaster on my Home Theater setup, so I went one level up with this "Gold" unit. One of the better investments I've made lately. I paid $60 at the local Office Depot, the price Amazon is advertising is ridiculously low at $35. Belkin.com's price is about $70 so my advice is to buy this unit now before somebody at Amazon wakes up and jacks the price.

I was pricing surge protectors for my home theatre setup, when I saw this one on Amazon.com. Initially, I thought it would not be as good as some of its competitors, namely Monster equipment, but after researching it, I discovered it is just as good, if not better, and a LOT cheaper to purchase. The product comes with an unlimited guarantee for your electronic equipment if it is ever damaged because of a surge. That is impressive. Don't be fooled by the price, compare the specifications before you buy. One other feature I really like is that it has four coaxial connections (2 input and 2 output) so you can feed the UHF/VHF TV signal and the cable/satellite signal as well.

About a week after I installed the SurgeMaster storms were forecast and I unplugged the electronics but forgot to umplug the phone lines. We had a nearby lightning strike which fried my cordless phone and blasted apart a DSL phone filter but my DSL modem, which was protected by the SurgeMaster, was OK.

excellent product. the actual outlets have a safety feature, sliding up closing outlets you aren't using. my only complaint is it also has the capability for being hung on the wall - it has holes in the back, but it didn't come with any appropriate sized screws.
