If you're considering this to protect electronics, you might want to consider other options from Belkin [amazon.com] or Tripplite as this Anker model failed to offer protection in WireCutter's testing [nytimes.com].

"The Anker 351 Power Strip [nytimes.com] performed dreadfully in our testing, offering no surge protection whatsoever."

But they are TUV listed which is a European safety testing org.

Is this good to hook up PC, Monitor, TV, Receiver, etc?
You may want to consider plugging the PC into a UPS in case you lose power and you can shut it down gracefully.

Sam's club sells a member's mark ul certified 2 pack for $30, but I will admit they feel cheap as hell. However, if you follow the general lifespan theory of 5 years on surge protectors then it makes a bit more sense to save the money. I'm sure this anker feels/looks much better though.
is that really a thing? I've never thrown away an old surge protector just because it is more than 5 years old…

I mean the short answer is you don't really know when they just become a power strip. It probably depends on your risk tolerance and what you are protecting. That being said most knowledgeable sites recommend a 2-5 year replacement time frame.

I am not familiar with who 'Wirecutter' is. What level of iNarte EMC certification does he/they have, and to what standard/edition to they test to and at what level?
If you're unfamiliar with what the Wirecutter [wikipedia.org] is, in short it is a product review site that focused on consumer electronic testing and was bought by the New York Times several years after it took off in popularity.
However, if you're curious what testing was done in particular for the surge protector testing ArsTechnica [arstechnica.com] has a repost of an older article covering the testing method and how it was set up.

Install a NEMA 5-50 outlet on a 50A dedicated circuit? There even is the NEMA 14-60 which is also rated for 115 Vac .

According to the ArsTechnica link, they are testing to a very old (almost 40years) method.
I was rather curious on how they arrived as the claim that the listed Furman PST-8 is a better surge device than an Ametek SurgeX. I guess they weighed cord length equally.

I wanted to buy this surge at one point but then went down a rabbit hole about how the joules rating is one thing, and you also need to consider the clamping voltage. As far as I understand, clamping voltage is the amount of volts the surge lets through before it trips and protects the equipment.

Reading comments on the Amazon link, it seems this one may be rated at 1200v. As I recall that is not great and could lead to more sensitive electronics being inadequately protected.

Tripp-Lite was a brand I ultimately settled on as they offered consumer grade ones with clamping voltage ratings of 400v.

To others: if you wish to actually protect against non-direct lighting damage to your electronics, have installed a Type 1 SPD, and I recommend an additional Type 2 SPD. The service side should meet IEC 61643-10:2020 Class I or similar (aka 20 kA 8/20 and 10/350us pulses) on all modes.
When choosing which SPD to buy, if they do not provide a test report from an accredited EMC testing laboratory (A2LA, etc) signed off by an iNarte certified engineer. Well..

12 things plugged into 1 outlet?? Seems legit. LOL
If that one circuit had 12 outlets each with one thing plugged in, would that automatically concern you? Depending on the gauge of wire with this tap, it's effectively the same thing.

No, not unless you were approaching the load capacity of the circuit or any of the elements in the chain.

12 phone chargers isn't going to stress anything.

3 vacuum cleaners 2 microwaves and a couple hair dryers is going to blow a breaker at best and melt things or start a fire at worst.

Lol. It's the easy 'low hanging' fruit with the biggest bang for the buck. SPD 3's are typically for protection against disturbances caused by equipment on the same circuit. Such as EFT and other spikes caused by inductive kickback from a motor kicking on and off, or switch mode power supplies. They tend to be far more benign than the indirect lighting effects.
