I noticed that the deal from 10/5 for this had expired but the sale price is available again for another 10 hours.

Best Buy has Best Buy essentials™ - 12-Outlet/2-USB Surge Protector Strip - Black for $14.99. Store pickup is free.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/best...Id=6459503

The specs are below, but note that this appears to be either a perfect clone or simply a re-badge of a reputable CyberPower unit [cyberpowersystems.com] (minus the RF coax and telco ports).

12 outlets
Powers many of your electronics at once.

2 USB ports
Charges phones, tablets and more using the two USB ports (2.1 A total).

1,200-joule rating
Shields your devices from power surges up to 1,200 joules with 3-line surge protection.

5 ft. cord with right-angle plug
A 5 ft. (1.5 m) power cord gives extra reach while the low-profile plug easily fits behind furniture and other tight spaces.

LED indicators
Show that your connected electronics are protected, grounded, and receiving power.

4 wide-spaced outlets
Provides flexible connection options for bulky plugs.

Mountable
Mounts to your wall or desk with two keyhole slots in the back.

Good luck!

Pretty much. For $20-26, Amazon Basics (which look oddly like APC knockoffs) offer 4k+ joules and longer cords (which could come into play in college dorm rooms).
Ports looks spaced out. Why do you think all outlets can't be used? The one I bought amazon have all ports opposite each other & is a cramped
This was never intended as the best 12 outlet surge protector money can buy, but rather the least 12 outlet surge protector you could or should purchase for the price. I posted this in part to counter so many of the shilled power strips on Slickdeals which are neither good deals nor good power strips. I hope everyone has found this to be an OK product on offer for a good price.

Good luck!

Isn't 1200 joules pretty low? Doesn't list the equipment coverage.

Thanks for the input. Any suggestions for approx. the same joules, but a flat/right-angle plug?

Configuration is also crap, you'll realistically only get to use about half of those outlets. Better wait for something stronger and better.

Not seeing the clamping voltage here... anyone know what it is?

Need a new surge protector but gotta know the clamps since it'll be for some pricey electronics.

Honest question: are power surges as much of a problem as they used to be? Particularly in neighborhoods with underground power lines?

The past two homes we've lived in (over 20 years) had underground power lines, and I don't remember ever dealing with power surges damaging our equipment.

Granted, we usually used surge protectors, but I probably wasn't diligent about making sure they had enough protection (or any protection — some of them were probably just power strips).

So not sure it's as much of an issue in these neighborhoods. But also possible I'm just lucky.

Yeah, it was just a daily deal from 1am yesterday until 12:59am today. The deal was over the moment it hit 1:00am on October 30th. OP was a bit late, I'd say but no offense to him/her.
