I am currently using several Monster blue 4-outlet surge protectors with ON/OFF switches ( for computer setup, another for TV, another for Microwave, etc. ) for the few years -- I am a very satisfied Monster product customer. In using this "green product" my learning curve starts with plugging different devices INTO the MAIN Outlet -- hookup modem, all lights blink & active, nothing happens until I turn PC on, then turn on the Monitor..... hookup Monitor, nothing happens until I turn PC on, then all other devices also wake up..... hookup PC -- everything else starts to come alive, especially with the Modem doing a boot up (seems like it takes forever) but I still need to turn on the Monitor separately..... so I am still beta-testing. My other devices are the MagicJackPlus phone & adapter and HP wireless Printer (sometimes I need room to recharge batteries or cellphones); therefore I needed to get more outlets. p.s. I just bought & received Monster 8-outlet white surge protector from Same Shipper.Read full review

Bought this thinking I could use it for night stands by bed. This is for a computer set up only from what I am experiencing.. If you want to protect your computer stuff then this is for you. Do not buy these for general use surge protection.. if you are NOT running all accessories that plug into this at the same time, some receptacles do not work unless one of the others are in current use (electricity is being used). It is troublesome due to if there is no power to the circuit you want to use you have to unplug from surge protector and re-plug into a different plug that is tied into a plug that is being used by another accessory.

The first one I got was defective! Sheryl worked very hard to do the right thing and get me another product that would work for my needs!! She even sent me one that was a higher price than what I had paid for the first one at no extra charge to me!! And No need to return the defective one! She was Great!! :-) These Surgeprotectors seem to be a little confusing to me on the way you need to plug things into them for everything to be on when you want it to be. But once you figure them out they are fine. This Brand seems to be in all our local stores so it must be a good brand and I got a higher number on the Joules scale, so they should be good protection for power outages or lightning strikes! :-)

For the price, they are good, but the 'green power' part about them I'm not that crazy about. It seems in order for the whole 'block' to operate, the main plug needs to continuely needs to operate, and pull power so 4 plugs will operate. If not it will not operate the right way, and this does get frustrating. So it your decision. The price is good, but to depend on them, even for computer use, chose wisely.

Power Conditioning removing noise, Green Power - killing zombie power from all accessories such as a label printer, scale, Bose speakers, Monitor, LED Desk Light. Monster has done it again. Now when the PC goes does auto shutdown at night, it kills the accessories, and desk light. Even thought all the accessories are Energy Star, a few power adapters ver. (V) being the highest quality, still are warm which is energy wasted. Also it makes turning everything off easy, instead of turning off 8 different things when the machine shuts down, its all automatic. Nothing to dislike. It's compact, and I needed to add 3 outlets on the switched side, so I added a 1-to-3 grounded adapter to use two transformer plugs. I have a meter that shows my current energy usage in the home with a 6 second delay. By inserting this device, I dropped 77.22 watts/hr of standby power. That is over 1kWh per day and CA I.O.U. electricity rates are 2nd in the nation, averaging $0.23 per kWh. So aside from having a great surge protector, I'm saving $18.00/yr and as rates rise 15-20% a year, the savings will grow.Read full review
