Only 600 joules surge protection, barely anything
There is nothing "heavy duty" about this item

Only good for lights and small electronics, not good for tv, computer, etc

Well i was also thinking about using this in the garage to clean up the daisy chain of surge protectors, but these comments seem to have put a stop to that....
​Daisy chaining multiple surge protectors is also VERY dangerous.

Be mindful that most outlets (at the wall) are between 10-15A max draw.

This surge protector is great, I run 4 space heaters off mine. The cord is short so I had to run a 25' extension cord with it as well.

The things on em arent drawing much power. Some battery chargers, a chromecast audio and some stereo equipment never really used much, a clock....just a lot of low draw stuff i dont feel like having to unplug lol.

This would be a massive, catastrophic house fire if they were being serious. (They're not.)

I suppose connecting four heaters on low (300 watts) would be doable/viable. But most people use electric heaters on high, which means 1,500 watts × 4 of wire-melting, fire-hazard power.

Regardless of all the snark and trolling, perhaps this strip would actually be useful for retro gaming setups. Older gaming consoles typically have huge power bricks, and this power protector seems designed to accommodate them with its extra spacing.

I can imagine a six-foot-high cabinet displaying all your retro consoles, with the power strip discreetly zip-tied to a supporting beam of the shelf. All your retro consoles would be neatly plugged in thanks to the strip, eliminating the need for short, one-foot extension cords to connect oversized power adapters. The strip's extra spacing makes room for bulky plugs, keeping the setup tidy.

I believe Sega officially made something similar to this strip [segaretro.org]—though much shorter, of course. It was specifically designed to accommodate the large power plugs required for a Sega CD, Genesis, and 32X setup.

I've had one of these for a few years from a previous sale. It works just fine used it to clean up cord clutter under my computer desks.

If you have modest needs. This is fine. No this is not the heavy duty several hundred dollar Pluck every tool in your workshop cord, but then I don't know why anyone thinks he would get that for $24 anyway.

Once you have 3 heaters on it you don't have to add the 4th because the cord becomes the 4th heater.

No, I'm not stupid, I have a fan blowing on the cord to keep it cool! Just to be safe I replaced the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp because it kept blowing the fuse!

hmm... I was going to pull the trigger on this, mostly based on its frontpage status, but y'all are right that it's extremely low surge protection. A quick search on Amazon shows decent surge protection with more outlets for just a few dollars more, just not of this form factor. If I need this form factor (which I don't), then I can get it with for okay surge protection for price that's still in the $30 range.

I guess I'll pass on this. The 600-joule protection really is next to nothing.

I have the 12 outlet version of this and hate it. The outlets are extremely tight, to the point where you have to rip plugs out with substantial force. I'm sure it will come off the studs eventually, at which point I'll trash it.

Amazon Basics slapped "surge protector" on this plastic tragedy like a band-aid on a bullet wound. 600 joules? That's barely enough to survive a sneeze in a thunderstorm. You'd get better protection from a wet newspaper.
P.S. Wife says "it's not UL-listed." (at least it's TUV). I say it's not life-listed. Either way, pray your home insurance is paid up.

I also run my space heaters, but to keep my life simple, I also run the coffee maker, and microwave off it, but I wouldn't dare run 25' ext cord....I prefer to use 7 or 8 of the 3 ft ext cord from dollar tree (32 ga.) So when one burns out, I can swap it out easy and not a whole new cord, for $1.00! All this money I save, looking into a new electric car
