Just got these today. It has no UL certification and no ETL certification, only the cord has an ETL certification. The clamping voltage is 1000V, to put into perspective how bad that is, I have a cheap 90 joule surge protector purchased 20 years ago from radio shack that is UL listed and has a clamp voltage of 330V, another cheap one that has a clamp voltage of 600V and also UL listed.

I've been using 450 joules with my 1000w PC, 150w tv, and various other electronics for the last 3 years, all at the same time, and have had zero issues. also use another one of those plugs for a bunch of outdoor lights ~100w with no issues

I guess I'm riding on a whole bunch of risk then.... but isnt this the same or better then just plugging electronics straight into the wall, which most people are doing with most electronics?

if you want actual protection you need braker panel surge protection

Surge protectors expire, and with every surge that lifetime is shortened. At 3 years, you almost definitely should consider a replacement

the guy above me probably replied to the wrong person but to add on, you really shouldn't be using one from 20 years ago. that is long past its life if you care about your electronics that much, and it seems like you do if you go that much into detail

If providing specs is going into too much detail, you are free to ignore my post. The relevant concern should be that a multi-billion dollar company is selling products under their own name that lack even the most basic safety certification. Think about all the people that are purchasing these potential fire hazards because a billion dollar company wants to save money on safety certification. You may not purchase them, but your neighbors could and if your home is connected to theirs, it becomes a risk to you as well.

I also just received them. They do have TUV, so they are not completely without 3rd party verification. Although I am not sure off hand what standard is used.But as KxrmaJunkie said above, should be no worse than plugging directly into the wall.

This is not for people looking for protection. This is for people looking to add extra plugs and it is priced as such.

I get it. But this whole doomsday-level obsession with "safety" in America in just about every little thing in life, is mind-boggling. The paranoia over every minor hazard seems wildly disproportionate, especially when you consider that you have a higher chance of being harmed in daily mass shootings than even catching a cough from smoke drifting over from a neighbor's extension cord fire spark.
