      POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 08:25

      $28.98 + shipping is not a bargain!

      +1 for Individual On/Off Switches and Extra Spacing but Belkin’s Unlimited Connected Equipment Warranty got my vote for peace of mind.

        slowmo on 10/05/2010 - 10:44

        how was that not a bargain? i thought its 2 of that 6-way boards in ozstock…
        though I didn't get it because there is an annoying light that is constantly on, (assuming that it stays on even when all the points in the board is not in use.)

        •  
          Pizza The Hut on 10/05/2010 - 12:36

          You probably wont like this Belkin either then. Most of these surge protected boards have a light to tell you that its protected. Silly thing is though, even when the varistor is gone the light still stays on.

    Has anyone here ever actually lost electrical equipment before to a power surge?

    These things are not going to actually stop a lightning strike from destroying your gear; see this thread

    http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=2421176#post...

    $29 is pretty cheap "insurance" though - if Belkin actually pays out.

    Here is the product link on belkin

      No equipment lost to a surge but I have had a Belkin surge protector expire on me (presumably from a power surge). Replacement of the product was a simple process. Just a phonecall to Belkin claims.

      •  
        Xpire on 10/05/2010 - 14:28

        Did you need to provide a receipt in order to claim? Kinda hard keeping a receipt for the life of the product…

        •  
          Livert on 10/05/2010 - 17:09

          Not in my case. I just described the pattern of the light indicators on the surge protector and they sent me a new one within a few days.

    •  
      papafox on 10/05/2010 - 11:29

      Yep - came home one day to a quiet house with the servers powered off and no internet. Went to the comms cabinet in the garage and found that both the power board and the ADSL modem rattled. There had been a nearby lightning strike (I live 100m from a major power substation) and the power board had given up its life protecting the servers. The energy in the surge was enough to melt some components. The modem was plugged into power board, but the phone line wasn't, so the modem died.

      Interestingly, the audio-video equipment (TV, amp, DVD etc) and its power board were still working. I replaced the power board anyway since MOV's are prone to silent failures - the equipment connected to the board still gets an electrical supply, but since the MOV have failed, the board provides no protection.

    Damn this is badly designed. Recessed outlets and so close togehter! Forget about using any bulky chargers.

      m0tyrider on 10/05/2010 - 09:41

      They are a bit close, which is a bit of a spew, but at the price for $29 with the surge protection i ordered 3.!

      happykamper on 10/05/2010 - 12:25

      Exactly. I hate recessed outlets, and I have too many 'brick' chargers for this to be of any use to me.

    I'm glad that ozbargainers are taking an interest in this product…the product is selling much faster than i expected and will soon sell out.

    Currently at this stage i'm expecting this offer to run out of stock before 7pm. We'll be putting up a sold out sign on the offer soon.

    So if you really want the offer - you'd better hurry up and get it.

    Ordered 2 earlier, I've had The ADSL port on my modem fry and a netgear NAS die on me during one particular thunderstorm. Thankfully both were replaced under warranty as they were less than a year old.

    sublemon on 10/05/2010 - 22:40

    The surge protector itself is not good in terms of design so I'm guessing everybody got one for the warranty.

      •  
        Livert on 11/05/2010 - 09:32

        There was a pricing error when the deal was first launched. It was advertised as $25 each. I guess people who ordered prior to the change can dispute getting charged $29 to get the discount like Sachy did.

      •  
        sachy on 11/05/2010 - 11:57

        Yesterday I sent them an email complaining about the price difference. Today a CS consultant called me and took the order over phone for 2 at $25.Great.Lesson- if there is something wrong, do complain. Again it depends on the retailer. Some will follow the correct practices some just turn away.

    Received my three today. Despite the supposedly dreaded recessed sockets, every one of my plugs—over a dozen—have clicked in snugly, and without getting in the way of other plugs.

    Very happy; only regret is that I didn't snatch six.

    I ordered mine last Monday and still didn't receive mine. Called up DSE and they told me 2 of my orders have been canbcelled, the Swann DVR4-2500 kit and the Belkin surge protector.

    Not happy since it allowed me to put the orders in. The DVR is not $1199 and they wont sell it to me for $799 anymore.

  •  
    grizz_li on 19/05/2010 - 21:56

    Threaten legal action if they don't provide a decent explanation for the cancellation, eg. fraudant credit card, DSE warehouse burnt down overnight, Belkin products massive recall.

  •  
    lo200 on 20/05/2010 - 09:06

    When I called them yesterday the girl said she will escalate to a senior then I got an email today saying the items have been shipped.

    I am happy again :)
