Looks identical to one I have that is amazon basics - I believe these are APC rebrands. My only complaint is that the plug isn't flat.

This seems like a lot of plugs for one outlet. Is there any way to judge when you've overdone it?

I got the last Monoprice plug deal that included the 45W USB-C port. The plug that goes into the wall was angled so the cord went up rather than down to the ground; it is a really stupid design. Not sure if this has the same but definitely a big inconvenience. No free returns so check first if you care

Had the exact same thought the moment I saw this.

This is legit, clamping voltage as someone said, not just joules. Cheap $7 ones have very very high joules but won't kick in until 500-600v on the worst ones whereas this kicks in at 330v.

I use almost all of these. computer, 4 monitors, 2 chargers, lamp, printer, speakers, you get the idea. so if this is too many, not your thing lol.

I also see the area near TV's get fully plugged in and I see multiple extensions so this is great for that too.

Do these produce an annoying high-pitched electrical noise (or coil whine) that sounds like you have a mosquito in your room?

Two different brands I have tried out make the noise and becomes noticeable over a period of time. The BestBuy Essentials made the loudest and most painful high-pitched noise which increased when connected to multiple devices (it was so bad I immediately returned it), while the Eaton Personal surge protector I recently purchased makes this noise but is much less audible but still noticeable.

The Eaton surge protector says it protects against line noise and has "Up to 40 dB EMG-RFI Noise Suppression" but I am confused what this actually means, when it still produces a slight high-pitched noise, especially when you put your ear close to the surge protector where you also hear a buzzing sound moving through the cord. My lamp also makes a buzzing noise, when you put your ears near the light bulbs.

PC novice here, would you guys recommend a UPS over this? i have two PC's, Router, Printer, Two Monitors so far. Or will this be just as good. just want surge protection, don't require battery, as most of the time my devices are off.

Thanks

I use a UPS only for my modem and router. That way I have internet if we lose power. During my last power loss, we still had internet from my router which helped pass the time until power was restored. I know most cell phones have internet access from the towers but my son was happy to use his tablet and still watch videos.

Amazon basics is just a private label branding of products made by other companies, typically in factories that make major brands

Is it not made by a partnership made with Amazon and China?

I personally haven't used surge protectors in over a decade (just regular power strips), and my laptop and other electronics still work perfectly fine (experiencing a few occasional power-outs and even lightning). I am not sure if surge protectors are a scam and a business to profit off consumers. I have even read reviews where users complained that their surge protectors fried their electronics!

From what I have read, it doesn't matter if you have a surge protector or not. It just matters that your home has good ground. It is whole-house surge protectors that have the power to absorb the powerful surges, even protecting against lightning, so they should be the ones to invest in. Regular surge protectors just divert the surge to ground, where the surge is amplified, passes into the electronics, and damages or destroys them.

It is until recently, I am using and testing out surge protectors to see if they actually work or will fry the minor things connected to it or not in the event of a surge.
Surge protectors are definitely not a scam. You've been lucky is all. The surge protector cannot fry your electronics on it's own.

Gotta be wary of "Amazon Basics"
The can be great quality but also cheap Chinese crap.
