  Be good to hear from those more knowledged on the specs, but Belkin in general seems to be one of the better brands.

  Product link
  - 8-Surge protected AC outlet, 2142 Joules
  - Maximum spike current protection, 70,000 Amp
  - EMI/RFI noise filtration, 150kHz~100MHz up to 75 dB
  - Belkin’s Lifetime Warranty
  - Content Recovery Warranty backed by Seagate
  - $250,000 Connected Equipment Warranty

  Not sure how all of the above compares to the DSE 8 way boards I have, probably superior.

  As noted, I've found places selling this over $100 so this is a fair discount.

  If you're lucky you would find this for around $30 under myer's clearance section. I bought it couple years ago for $30.

  That is a classic example of how scams get promoted. First indication - not even one specification number was provided by them. I don't know where you got those numbers. Even the Belkin site for this device 'forgets' to provide what is always required to be honest.

  How does that protect from power failures? Where is its battery? Power failures never damage properly designed appliances. Never. Power failures harm unsaved data. So temporary and 'dirty' power is provided to protect the only item at risk - an unsaved file - not hardware.

  How many joules does it claim to absorb? 2142 means is absorbs something less than 714 joules and never more than 1428 joules. Destructive surges are hundreds of thousands of joules. What happens when a near zero protector tries to absorb a destructive surge? Either protector parts must disconnect as fast as possible (leaving that surge still connected to attached appliances). Or fire results. Where is the protection?

  What does that filter do? Does not matter how clean power is. Since electronics first converts AC power into well over 300 volt radio frequency spikes. Then superior filters and regulators already inside electronics convert that high frequency, high voltage spikes into rock solid, well regulated, low voltage DC. AC line filtering must already exist in electronics AND then is completely undone. Superior and existing internal filters 'clean' much dirtier power.

  Did you read fine print in that warranty? Biggest dollar warranties are usually found on least reliable products.

  Finally, effective protectors always have a dedicated ground wire for a low impedance (ie less than 3 meter) connection to earth ground. Then hundreds of thousands of joules harmlessly dissipate outside. This is the only solution found in facilities that cannot have damage. And costs about 50 times less per protected appliance. The proven solution answers a question that every protector must answer. Where are hundreds of thousands of joules harmlessly absorbed? The proven 'whole house' solution makes that low impedance (hardwire has no sharp bends) connection to single point earth ground. Then protection exists for everything.

  A protector is only as effective as its earth ground - which Belkin does not connect to and will not discuss.

    Oh dear God… you're still kicking?

    I knew from the first two paragraphs filled with disjointed, fragmentary and obsessive writing on the intricacies of surge protection (written in an almost Haiku-like style that suggests a mind so preoccupied with something that it has lost all concept of grammar) that you were that bizarre troll from Whirlpool who took it upon himself to discourage anyone who would listen, from using surge protectors as if you were getting a commission for every surge protector sale you interdicted. How many years of spamming nonsensical, electrical jargon and polluting threads has it been? Give it up already and work on your goddamned grammar.

      Oh dear god…. your still posting insults without one informed sentence. Give it up. You are still preoccupied with your ego. You still ignore specification numbers. Who taught you how to learn?

      That expensive protector has an obscene profit margin. It only claims to protect from tiny surges already made irrelevant by protection inside appliances. Informed and adult consumers spend tens of times less money on effective products from Keison, Clipsal, ABB, Novaris and other companies of integrity. A naive child, instead, would attack the messenger with cheapshots - without one honest fact. Please work on your grammar. English is clearly your second language. Please stop wasting bandwidth with your emotions. Those are also wothless here.

  There's no individual switches. I thought that would be a legal safety requirement, by now.
