A great way to organize and identify wiring from computers, home theaters,and all other recording equipment
Purchased in Mar '08, then 'poof.' burned out in Dec out of nowhere while my child was playing XBox 360. It's supposed to be a power surge protector, right. Thank god none of the devices I have broke and after reading the other review about Monster's warranty and backing, forget it. This product is a joke.
The cost of this excellent power strip from Monster is cheap and does it's job: power electronics. Go spend more money during these difficult times on a more expensive power strip if you need to. Yeah, this power strip is small and doesn't have many power ports. I've got my Mac Book Pro, WD external HD, Klipsch speakers, and an iHome all plugged into it and it powers them all wonderfully. However, once you get past the size, this is a great power strip. The cord provided is very long, and can reach all the way around the back of a desk, home theatre set up, or anywhere you decide to snake this cord around. Sure, I might get clearance issues every once in a while but with a little organizational skills, I power them all fine. For the money, for quality that you're getting, and for the background you get with Monster cable, it doesn't get any better than this.
Is a good item if all of the plugs you are using stand upright and are standard sized. I got it to sit against a wall for sideways plugs. Holds plugs tightly so you'll have to push a little. No problems with it so far.
I've replaced it with a surge/power strip made for computers (3000 joules protection) that was half the price of the Audio/Video Monster version (1400 joules protection). The thing just burned out.
All devices plugged into it went off. The rest button did nothing.
After a few weeks the thing just fried. The lights (plugged in elsewhere) did not flicker.
Exactly the same as what Douglas Schifter wrote in a previous review. No damage to any devices but I don't even thing there was a power surge.
That's not very "Monster". Monster is overpriced and inferior.
