Quote from Mr_Sadness :
Better off getting the Amazon Basics 12-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector - 4,320 Joule, 8-Foot Cord for $18.72

I think a lot of folks are looking at this exact brand because of their reputation for providing reliable surge protection on a lot of their models, but unfortunately not all of them. This particular model seems to have been sneakily updated and no longer comes with the specs advertised in the photos. The alleged downgrade is just what some of the reviews are stating, so take it with a grain of salt -- YMMV. There are photo reviews that clearly show an inferior clamping voltage listed on the underside, so it appears that there is some truth behind the concerns.

Thanks OP, Shows shipping June 24-7 for me on Amazon.
$24.58 at Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/APC-1.../318679103 also. Available shipped to store 6/5-6/8 here.
Clamping voltage:
A surge protector can restrict, or "clamp," voltage across the three legs between these components: L-N, L-G, and N-G. This model offers 330 volts (V) of clamping across the main line-neutral leg, the most critical place to block surges. It has 400V clamping across the two grounded legs. While protection remains active, the APC model bathes the word "protected" in green light. When the MOVs eventually fail, the light will go out and power will stop flowing to the AC outlets. (Oddly, these clamping voltages can't be found in the manual or product page, but are "printed" in black-on-black tiny molded type on the unit's underside.)

Maybe we should all order it and then return it , to send a message about trying to deceive customers

The clamping voltage on the Amazon one is higher, so no, it isn't better

That probably hurts amazon more then the actual company bc of the shipping. You should just buy them all to deplete the inventory. Way better idea 😁

They're both 330-400-400 so no the amazon one is not higher.

Good luck! Please let us know what type you get --
L-N 330V, L-G 400V, N-G 400V
or
L-N 400V, L-G 500V, N-G 500V

6 foot power cord with straight 3 prong plug, so it is not flat.
