Never Miss a Deal.

This power strip looks good, works great, I have had no problems. The cord was a little shorter than I thought, but that's a minor problem.

PROS: Nice overall design

Works great

CONS: Short (er) cord

These just seem a little better then your typical power outlet and the only ones that I am aware of in this price range that state their joules rating.

PROS: Price, design

CONS: none apparent

Bought two for an old building where the wiring is suspect. Haven't had any issues but I feel better not only with these just installed but with the quality of these from Monoprice over say Walmart, etc. The only reason I say white as a con is that I have some electronics that are white that get dull, dingy overtime due to dust, fingerprints, etc. but this is a surge protector and not a high-visibility item where appearances matter. I absolutely LOVE the switch placement as I don't have to worry about sacrificing a plug where a cord's base would accidentally flip the switch off. Highly recommend. Will buy again!

PROS: Protects the Surge

Mountable

Switch placement!!!!!!!!

CONS: Doesn't buy me dinner

White can get dull over time (No experience with this, just conjecture)

I bought 2 of these, along with some other models. The 2 540-Joule units both stopped lighting green last night after several power flickers, and ultimately a power outage. Both strips still provide power, but no longer light green. All my electronics still work, so clearly these did their job. My other (higher joule) power strips are all still green, so I will replace these 2 units with the higher-rated units. Less than $20 for these two surge protectors saved thousands of dollars of electronics.

PROS: Inexpensive, effective protection.

I bought this to replace an older more expensive power strip that failed. You can do that too.

PROS: It works, It's inexpensive

I like the price and quality of Monoprice surge protectors. My only issue is with the spacing of the outlets, but if that is a concern you can spend a few more dollars and by their 10 outlet power surge protector.

PROS: Sturdy, looks nice, thin enough to put behind a desk

CONS: not good if you need to plug in bulky transformers. Transformers may block one or two plugs

No issues or complaints here

This is a great priced, simple power strip for low drawing appliances.

PROS: It's a basic power strip

CONS: It's not very aerodynamic

Would buy again

PROS: Looks nice, good power rating

CONS: n/a

Great product we have 20 of these power strips and use all the time. No problems and no hassle

It's a power outlet. looks nice and sleek, does the job and it's cheap. What more do you need!?

Much better quality than the ones you will find in Walmart or Target for cheaper price.

Works as expected and actually looks and feels really nice, despite how cheap it is. absolutley would recommend

PROS: Extremely nice. Perfect for the price

CONS: none

Ordered 5 of these, tossed out the old strips, will use some for Christmas decoration lighting. (indoor)

PROS: Well built, shiny white, contoured. Excellent price.

CONS: None

using this strip for projector and laptop for professional presentations to various community groups in support of Vets

Hopefully will hold up for years. Currently satisfied.

PROS: Works. Compact.

CONS: None currently.

The price and quality of the product coupled with the fast delivery and great service makes Monoprice one of my favorite vendors!

PROS: Great Value. The price Cannot be beat for these quality Surge Protectors.

On time delivery, good product, good price.

PROS: Quality product.

Looks nice, doesn't feel cheap and the price is right. What else can you ask for?

PROS: Looks nice and the price is right

CONS: None

Monoprice quality at a low price. Great slim-profile f540-Joule surge protector with features that shames competitor's protectors. I have it dedicated to my kitchen TV with three outlets in use: TV, cable box, and digital amplifier-speakers.

PROS: All of the above

CONS: Nothing

Works great, just your standard power strip but of course you get the build quality of Monoprice behind it, and it's a great deal.

This power strip is well made and works well. I like the curved edges and on and off button is on the side of the unit instead of the top.

work well, no issues

Love the glossy white. Needed a new strip because the old one had one jack that wasn't working.

PROS: It's glossy

CONS: None

I got a stack of these for my office and the look good and no problems so far. We haven't had any need for the surge protection aspect yet.

PROS: Price, Appearance

CONS: None

Not just this item, but my entire order were quality items that have been working without any problems, the order was delivered faster than I expected, and price just can't be touched by anyone else I found online (or in store for that matter). Kudos to you, Monoprice!

the shipping was very fast and I got what I expected.

PROS: Simple, low price.

CONS: none

I've never been disappointed yet with a purchase from Monoprice.

PROS: Nice looking unit, performs as expected. I ordered three for the price I would expect to pay for one of similar quality at a big box store.

CONS: The cord is approximately three feet long, suitable for most applications, but four feet would be nicer. Not a deal breaker though.

Great product for the price.

5/5

PROS: Slim. Works great.

CONS: None.

Works as expected. It has slots on the back so it can be mounted to a wall. I like that the ports are rotated 90 degrees compared to other power strips which more easily accommodates odd sized power adapters.

It's a nice change to have the power switch on the side so I don't accidentally hit it with my foot.

It works so far and the green light is not too bright when I'm trying to sleep. I've had this for about 1.5 weeks.

PROS: * Works as intended

* Green light isn't too bright when I'm trying to sleep at night

Bring back the black ones I will buy 300.

CONS: NOT BLACK

Excellent service. I ordered the product late in the afternoon. The next morning, I received the shipment. Thank you!

The power switch is way too sensitive and shallow on the side of the strip. Not cool have bumped it many times at many installs .

Not much to say about a power strip. Like most Monoprice items its well made. The cord is too short through

PROS: Good price
Well made

CONS: Short cord

These are good quality and a few bucks cheaper than you'd find a Home Depot. But... They offer no equipment protection guarantee like most surge protectors you can buy i.e. "Will pay for up to $25,000 of equipment if it fails." Instead, Monoprice offers a technical specification of "540 joules" which I think only electrical engineers understand. So it's hard to determine how effective these units actually are in an event of a surge. Also, I personally don't like the side on and off switch. Nearly all power strips/surge protectors have a top switch, with, in my opinion, is easier to operate.

PROS: Good quality. Cheap

CONS: No equipment protection guarantee. Side on/off switch.

I bought 3 of these to replace some older surge protectors that I'd had for years. You don't need much for a good surge protector, so I wasn't worried about purchasing these (it's hard to screw these up, they only perform one job).
Cutting to the chase, these things have a severe flaw: the placement of the reset/off switch on the side of the product. The switch juts out from the side of the unit, making it impossible to place it against a wall or do anything other than mount it to a flat surface. Because of the placement of this button, any accidental contact with the surge protector could cause the reset or off switch to be depressed, causing a potentially destructive loss of power to occur to anything you may have plugged in. In my case, it was my desktop PC. Sudden loss of power can destroy sensitive equipment, and unfortunately this particular surge protector claimed my 120GB SSD when my foot accidentally grazed it and the 'reset' button was inadvertently pressed. I suppose it was my mistake to think I could plug my valuable electronics into such a reasonably priced item, but I won't make that mistake again. I'd advise anyone looking to purchase this surge protector for any kind of computer, gaming system, or any electronics that could potentially be damaged by sudden losses of power to look elsewhere. This thing is far too big a liability to take the chance. It's better to shell out another $10-15 to avoid destroying expensive equipment.
I'm not writing this review with the goal of getting anything replaced or having any kind of warranty honored, the damage has already been done and I'm out a hard drive. I won't be using monoprice to purchase this kind of equipment in the future - which is unfortunate, because up until now I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the quality or build of anything I've purchased on the site.

TL:DR Review - Great product, but don't plug anything valuable into them. Reset/off button placement can cause sudden losses of power if accidentally touched, which can damage or destroy sensitive equipment. I lost a $100+ 120GB SSD and hours of my life reinstalling operating systems and software, as well as priceless data. Don't make the same mistake.

PROS: Low cost.
Outlet arrangement.

CONS: HUGE CON: Placement of reset/off switch.
