I was looking for a new power strip and found this. Apparently lowest price ever on Camel x3.

Don't know if it's good or if it's UL rated, but it has a 4.9 with over 10k+ reviews. It should be OK if you're looking for one now.

It seems too pricey for a non-power company surge protector

In a rare move for Anker (as so few of their AC-connected products are UL-listed) this early model from them does indeed bear an ETL Intertek label certifying UL-compliance. Searching the Inertek ETL database for the given model A2762 does confirm the labeling. Note, however, that the clear image of the label comes from an Amazon review titled "FIRE HAZARD!!" [amazon.com] that seems to indicate the user experienced a problem from a part of the surge protection circuit burning up. In fact, just the first sample of photos in the Amazon review are from yet another user experiencing a similar issue(!).

Anker ETL listings:

Given Anker's general avoidance of ETL/UL for their products I would generally recommend passing on their AC-connected power strip/adapter devices in favor of more noteworthy brands in this space like Tripp Lite or APC. The fact that such devices can be bought for less than Anker's current attempts at profit-taking only further supports my case (here's a Tripp Lite option [amazon.com], and here's one from APC [amazon.com]). Why pay premium prices for an Anker power strip?

Good luck!

You're comparing a 12-outlet strip to 8-outlet strips. Of course 8-outlet strips are going to be cheaper.

Totally acknowledge your point: I was intending to compare strips with USB and power (among what I consider more premium brands in the power strip space) but I failed to account for parity on the number of AC outlets!

Here's an APC example at the same price [bhphotovideo.com] ($24.99 as of Aug 11) that includes both 12 AC outlets and 2 USB ports at the same price at the Anker in this listing. I certainly hope that no one values the Anker's three USB ports rated for 15W total much more than the APC's more traditional two USB ports rated for 12W total.

Good luck!
Jon

What's Anker's Pay-out policy if their outlet doesn't protect your devices?

That should answer if you should buy this or not?
