500-joule protection? I wouldn't really even consider this protection at all. Definitely don't put anything more valuable than a lamp on one of these.

I'll be honest. I've used several 500s for years. Now I don't know if I had a power surge but I've never had anything die using cheap surge protectors.

Then you might as well have plugged them directly into the wall. Surge protectors degrade with use over 3-5 years so you really should be looking for ones with an indicator if you really cared about something.

Yeah, I think they are also elephant repellent because I've never seen elephants around my surge protectors ever and I've had them for years.

the switch is lighted, and when that light fails to light, the MOV is exhausted and no longer protecting.

Best thing about these inexpensive power strips is that they unscrew/come apart easily so you can add enough MOVs to make them effective surge protectors.

I'm sure you can guess the other reason people buy surge protectors, and that is because they are also power strips which can accommodate all the electronics everyone has. So I could plug directly into the wall but there is only 2 plug ins and that's not doable in most peoples situation. But I get what you were trying to say.

I find inexpensive yet overall acceptable power strips useful for my retro gaming setup by connecting them to a reliable name-brand surge protector that is directly plugged into a smart plug. The setup looks like this:

Smart Plug > Reputable 1020-joule surge protector > Extra power strips > Retro game consoles

I have around 15 consoles, such as NES, SNES, Atari 2600, etc., which remain powered off most of the time. I only provide power to them by saying 'Turn Retro ON' via Alexa. To accommodate the large power bricks that older gaming consoles tend to have, I also use short 1-foot extension cords [monoprice.com], allowing them to fit neatly into the auxiliary power strips.

While I wouldn't trust these Hyper Tough surge protectors for devices that are powered on 24/7 and require reliable protection, they do provide an easy solution for my retro gaming setup. Therefore, I can see them being useful in certain situations.
