Amazon Basics 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip, 790 Joule, LED Indicator, 6-Foot Long Cord, White

I recently purchased the Amazon Basics 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and value. With six outlets and a 6-foot cord, it's perfect for powering multiple devices in my home office setup. The 790-joule surge protection rating offers peace of mind, safeguarding my electronics from power surges. The red "protected" LED indicator is a helpful feature, confirming that the surge protection is active. The build quality feels sturdy, and the cord length provides flexibility in placement. Overall, this power strip delivers reliable connectivity and mountability at an affordable price point with great ease of use.

If you commonly use bulky chargers (for USB cords for headphones, smartphones, smart watches, or for external hard drives), then you know that a "normal 6 outlet strip" might hold 3 chargers if you are lucky, it might only hold 2.By spacing the outlets a bit wider, and then providing one nice big gap, this allows you to fit 4 very bulky chargers. You can pretty easily do (charger)-(empty)-(charger)-(empty)-(charger) to fit 3 in the 5-in-a-row section, then there is a gap, and then you can fit a fourth charger, even a really big one that sticks out in both directions.I like that the "surge protector still works" light is a separate little LED, rather than being built into the switch. There is an additional light inside the switch that indicates if it is powered on, but not whether the surge protector has been destroyed by a surge.The cable is made of thick 14 gauge wire, whereas competitors are sometimes as thin as 18 AWG.After getting a little experience with the first one, I bought two more, in white and black.

You can never have enough. Good amount of power, did not mount it. The cord length was good too.

The Amazon Basics Surge Protector Power Strip is exactly what I needed for my home office setup. It offers 6 outlets with a 6ft extension cord, which is perfect for reaching across my desk to plug in multiple devices. I really appreciate the 790 joules of surge protection, giving me peace of mind knowing that my electronics are safe from power spikes.It’s simple, sleek, and does the job without any unnecessary frills. The white color blends in easily with my space, and the construction feels sturdy and durable. For the price, you can't beat the value—it does exactly what it's supposed to do, and I trust it to protect my gear. Highly recommend if you're looking for a no-nonsense, reliable surge protector!

I'm giving this four stars for now. I like it and it seems to be working well (early days), but the second red indicator light is problematic. Red lights are warning lights, the idea that a second red LED light signifies "all is well" makes no sense. Why not make both the LED and the switch color green? There really is no other object where a red light means all is well (let alone two of them.)I guess you just have to ignore both red lights.

Excellent space saver

This is my 3rd purchase ad it worked so well

Needed a surge protector with a longer cord for behind the couch. This one is perfect and works well.
