Anker Power Strip Surge Protector (2 × 4000 Joules), PowerExtend Strip 12 Outlets with Flat Plug, 1875W Output, 6ft Extension Cord, Dual Surge Protection for Office, Home

I chose this surge protector for several reasons:1) the outlets are sufficiently spaced to enable plugging in LARGE transformer type plugs without covering up (and thus losing ability to use) other outlets.2) the unit is white-colored! I have vision challenges, and have difficulty with seeing the outlets in a black circuit breaker (not sure why the trend had been to color equipment black)3) Anker has a good reputation, and I have no issues so far with any Anker productThe only possible drawback - but not Anker's fault because I knew about it: no USB ports in this model (included in other models). As this surge protector is close to the floor, I didn't expect to use a USB port. However, now I realize I might use one. In the future, I may seek out a model with some USB ports. Despite this, I rate this "5" - it works fine, is ergonomically well designed, and does what it is supposed to do.

The bottom line on any surge suppressor is its protection rating. In this case, 4000 joules. I wouldn't settle for less. A couple of years ago, a good quality surge suppressor protected over $3,000 of my equipment.There seems to be an ever-increasing number of wall warts, and the layout of the receptacles should handle at least 7. That was important to me.There is another Anker suppressor that is only a couple of dollars more. It includes 3 USB charging ports. The description mentions rapid charging of iPhone and Galaxy devices. It also has a 4000-joule rating. That model is a little more versatile and only very slightly more expensive. So I would give it 5 stars, and this model gets 4-1/2.

I bought one and found the quality is excellent and since have purchased 5 more. This is in MHO the best power strip you can get hands down.

I bought four. Had I known how good they were I would have bought more. They line flat which means they will fit under some sofa, tables or furniture. So they hide really w. Well even if you cannot hide them they are not as conspicuous as some others. The outlets are spaced and organized to get odd shaped plugs connected. I have had no failures and the outlets and flat line are engineered to easily plug in with an easy press and hold securely. If it an extension cord you need, I would recommend these.

I read a lot of reviews stating this surge protector was not UL certified. I have been using Anker products for years and had my doubts these were true statements. Went ahead and ordered this protector as we needed a new one quickly and could send it back if there were any doubts. Let me be clear, the UL stamp is on the plug, very plain to see. This is an example of don't always believe all the reviews you read, some people just don't know what they are talking about. Product works great, component cords plug in easily and securely with plenty of room for the large plugs some items have.

So, these were used for home and business use. We got a handful of new equipment and lot more storms and surges lately. We actually lost a tv a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately. Anyways was looking for something that provided decent protection, numerous ports so I could cut down on daisy chains from previous setups, and some kind of equipment protection.The first point was that I had issues with the seller, I'm not sure what happened but I thought I was getting these from Anker but instead came from Woot. My shipping date was pushed back, and also then delayed in route somewhere. Upon arrival the outside box was beaten up; the strips all came in individual boxing which all looked okay.Pros: These guys have a nice heft to them and it feels well built to me. I ordered 5; took them all out individually plugged them in and checked every port on each. There's no crazy barrier-type sensation in the ports that I've noticed with other powerstrips. You have 4 light indicators for: (White: Powered on, Blue: Grounded, and Surge Protection x2). Everything was well. Installed one in my room, living room, and 2 in our office (had like 16-17 plugs with like 4-5 old strips covered by 2 of these bad boys). For the most part, large or small plugs didn't clash and take up ports.Cons: The mounting was a pain; we looked through several of our screws and mounting options the holes aren't anything we're typically used to? I ended up saying forget screw mounting and purchased adhesive command strips stuck two of them on and pressed them on walls under the counters.I had an issue with one power strip. When I tested them all out at first everything was good. Once I had them setup, one strip once plugged in and had at least one device attached, would show an indicator light for "Grounded protection" even if the strip was powered on or off. Contacted Amazon they couldn't get out an exchange and I really needed these. I've spent the last several days communicating with Anker and besides the delay that occurs from emailing... they've been great. I sent some pictures of the model, then a video showing how the indicator would remain on regardless of the strip switched on and off. Also learned the switching it off and on could could fix the issue, but for me the indicator would go off, but in about 20 seconds it would slowly come back on even in the off position. They wanted me to send the product for their engineers to check and send a replacement, but some return issue happened and they are just sending me a replacement.TL;DR: Bought several. Shipping + delivery could have been better. Strips feel well built so many ports!! Mounting sucked for me got adhesive strips instead. Had an issue with one strip being faulty, contacted Anker they provided support and replacement is en route. Did have a storm the day after I set some up my devices seem ok. I will update if something drastic happens in the meantime.

Product Review:This Anker PowerExtend Strip with 12 outlets worked out perfectly for my needs. Its 12 outlet layout design gives alot of space, especially for bulky plugs, which definitely makes it more versatile than ordinary surge protectors. I've been an Anker customer for the past 3 years, all Anker products I've bought are still going strong, and this PowerExtend Strip is definitely another winner!Customer Service Review:I ordered this Anker PowerExtend Strip on Sep. 17th on Amazon. The following day Anker had a sale on it, I contacted AnkerDirect asking if it's possible to receive a credit for the difference in price. Anker Customer Service then replied to my inquiry the following day, its quick response really impressed me! Anker responded it normally does not give a credit in my case, but because I've been a loyal Anker customer, it made an exception and granted my credit request! Anker's customer service is the best, thank you so much!
