I check some of the review and it looks like GE has a generic version of this also.

According to the Q&A in the ge one, its 500v clamping but one of the question also says it has no surge protection. So not really sure. Also monoprice has a version of this and monoprice says its 500v clamping also. 500v is okay, not the best as things like anker is like over 600v and some generic ones are like 700v+

Looks very unsafe under long term high current usage. Get an extra fire alarm with this item.

How so, if the circuit it's plugged into has proper wiring and overload protection, either a fuse or circuit breaker? Won't those blow before something like this overheated?

Quote from Windytrader :
Great, another "Made in China" old stereotypical comment. Welcome to 2023.
I just ignore them. Given that most products are made in China these days and that most work just fine, these are ignorant and prejudiced comments.

Sure, I'd rather buy made in USA just to support local workers and economies (and not because American workers are more skilled or conscientious), but often there just isn't that option, especially with small electronic devices such as this. Made in China is here to stay, get used to it folks.

You are probably typing that on a device made in whole or parts in China.
made in China is not a reflection of quality (or lack thereof)
Some of the greatest products are Made in China,,just like some of the worst are also Made in China.
The issue is therefore not where they were made but how, regardless of where they were made.

However, you can keep your head buried in the sand and dismiss Chinese progress while they are now serious contenders than cannot be dismissed with outdated cliches
The proper reaction should be to step up our game instead of exposing our lack of understanding with hasty generalizations

I'm surprised by all the hate for this product. I have a similar version of this except with USB ports and it has worked well so far. Zero issues and my house hasn't burnt down. I have their cables and zero issues. Their customer service is excellent. Has anyone actually owned this product and had issues with it?

At least this seems to be UL listed and from a US company for what its worth.
Quote from statueim :
Looks like it's still worth an occasional fire per the reviews.
Pretty much every wall surge protector on Amazon seems to have at least a couple reviews of a fire or smoking. I've been looking for one kind of like the one I linked below because with it angled sides it's perfect for the outlet behind the top of our bed that we use for our nightstands. There are a few brands that I think are all the same product and they have all have a few scary reviews.

You may have some luck if you have an AFCI breaker installed (e.g. home build in past few years).
Otherwise we're talking about weak contact within the outlet, where movable parts are. There will be no overcurrent for the breaker to act upon - just a smallish local overheat...

Chinese manufacturers seem to master "what you pay is what you get" principle. Pay crap, get crap..
This is US manufacturers living by "pay for the best, hope for the best" with no price-to-quality correlation.

For what it's worth, your thread quote is actually more telling about you, than the actual product itself..

Question for you about the mastering principle...: So the Chinese-built HDTV that you have at home, today, which probably cost you hundreds, or even thousands, less than the Chinese (or American, for that matter) TV you bought 10-15 years ago, is "crap?" Okay..
