Surge protectors aren't cheap these days and the prices on the 6 and 8 outlet units seems pretty good on these from a recognizable brand. Any concerns on these?
If I'm not mistaken the surge protection you would get from the 600Joules rating is quite small. Probably not going advisable to rely on these to protect high $ value equipment.

Don't buy these as a surge protector unless you can find the specs on clamping voltage. Otherwise, assume that it's a glorified power strip.

Concerns? Not a lot really, Insignia (Best Buy's house brand) seem to be generally well liked and dependable. I've got a big bank with USB-C 60W PD input/output, along with one of their dual usb-c chargers with up to 100W PD. Zero issues, would buy again.
But be aware that two of these only have 4ft cords. That might be too short for a lot of situations but wouldn't be bad to have for the underside of a desk. Mine'll get used in the garage or shop, or with inverter generators.

None of these are great surge protector options. APC sells a 1440 Joule 7 outlet surge protector for $2 more. Why would you buy the Insignia ones? Surge protectors haven't really gone up in price that much recently... Granted the ones with good clamping voltage do cost a bit more, but I'm doubtful either of these Insignia ones have a lower clamping voltage than the $13 APC that has higher Joules protection.
If these have lower clamping voltage than the APC, they might be worth it.
The old Amazon Basics rebadged APC has 400 clamping voltage and was a great deal ($15) as long as you don't mind a big green light. I don't see it anymore.
