easy, do a search for 'surge protector' - optionally include the word 'anker' - and open any well-commented thread. issues boil down to listings including a 'joules' rating but not being able to further expamd on claims - most often by saying nothing about *clamping* voltage. furthermore they will never include images of the back of the product that would allow you to get some detail on the specs and any claimed certifications.
lastly, often in the case of anker, claimed certifications might apply only to some component, like the cable, not to the whole unit.

Unless you are only plugging in lamps, I would highly advise against using this type of product in the garage with high amperage items like a saw, grinder, vacuum etc

You need to look for UL1449 for surge protection devices.
CE and RoHS don't really belong in the "will it burn your house down" conversation. CE is a self-declaration only relevant to the EU (and Chinese manufacturers are more than happy to slap it on everything they make), and RoHS for the most part means they didn't use lead solder.

- If it's not rated by everyone, it's not good. UL, ETC, CE, ROHS
- It's made by non-american brand = bad
- If you want real surge protection, then invest in the whole house setup
- It's good for basic stuff
- Something else that's in the middle of these 4 options...
IMO, these should/could be used for things like phone charging or using a temporary electronics, such as coffee maker or blender or anything that's not always plugged in. If you have appliances that are always plugged in, then i'd recommend investing in higher quality (much more expensive solutions). i.e my computers are plugged in pure sinewave batteries.. etci dont recommend anything to anyone, just restating what i saw on the product page.
i do not speak for SD, never have, never will. I have no position, short of here is the deal info and this is what it says on the product page. if i personally used the product before, i could then tell you my personal experience with it, nothing else... nothing more.
if asked, i can tell you what i would use it for, such as kettle warming or blender or rice cooker.... things that are connected temporary. but, that's me...

yes, there are guidelines where we do our best that the merchant is reliable and the products you will receive is what is shown on the product page. but, I nor anyone else can guarantee that the product we post a sale for will adhere or do whatever the product is supposed to do, from toilet paper not ripping apart during a wipe, to something like this...
