"These are the BEST headphones I've tested (and I've tested a lot) when it comes to latency--that is there's no delay when viewing a video on my iPhone and the audio that's playing."
"Update 04/06/2017: Customer service did pretty good job and fast, by contacting me about the issue I had."
"No headphone has ever covered my ears without hard places or sweaty or too tight. Pairs easily with my moto G 4 phone and also a BT transmitter connected to my Chrome TV dongle. Ear cups are flat enough to lay head on pillow to watch TV. We'll see how they hold up to long daily use. Update 9/30/2017 I wear these for several hours each day."

"The only complaints I have is when doing certain exercises they tend to slide off my head a little so I have to adjust them a few times."
"Need a nice value bluetooth headphones with durability, good sound quality, & can be wireless OR wired? while also testing the ability for folding the headphones (worked great, very solid feeling). 2) Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and pair the MPOW headphones / connect. 4) Operate the headphones (connected and streaming from your BT-enabled phone) for 10 hours continuous streaming and wired mode (using the supplied 3.5mm audio cable) along with conducting a test phone call. I turned on the headphones (the headphones provide an initial. "powering on" along withe a "not paired" audio cue), then paired the device and connected by phone using Bluetooth (yet another audio cue "phone 1 connected"). I next disconnected from bluetooth and attempted to test wired connection using the supplied 3.5mm audio cable that was supplied by MPOW to connect to my phone's headphone jack.

"You can go to the logitech website and download their software if you want to record quick webcam videos or download other software such as OBS which is free."
"I was gonna buy it for the normal price aanyways but the fact that it was on sale when i bought it is even better. I use it for making videos for my public presentations class and also for streaming on TWitch.tv...."
"Another recommendation: Unless you actually benefit from it (I would do a lot of testing first), I do not recommend using Auto-Focus with this webcam. And again: I also recommend letting the auto-color and auto-white-balance do it's thing but then once you get it dialed in... turn it off and tweak it a little yourself to find that sweet spot otherwise it will be going crazy trying to constantly adjust the picture "for you"."
"I'm so glad I was able to buy the C920, with the fantastic auto focus feature and the awesome quality of the 15 megapixel camera, it's well worth the price. I have 2 LG UM57 25UM57 Monitors in which I placed my camera mounted split in the middle of the 2 without any issues or looseness. The auto focus was a bit tricky since I was using a tiny Superman figuring, but I wanted to test the limitations of the camera, and it didn't disappoint. I will most definitely be interested in making a review video of this device, which I feel is worth every penny, don't double think it, just get it, it's awesome!"

Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones for Apple devices - Black (wired, 3.5mm)
QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones are the best-performing around-ear headphones from Bose. Designed specifically for use with select iPod, iPhone and iPad models.
Reviews
"As someone who has been using Bose QC headphones daily for 3+ years now, I think I can give this a reasonably educated review. My musical tastes are varied: everything from Yiruma to Taylor Swift to Childish Gambino to Zedd. Four things really mattered to me when I upgraded to the QC25: sound quality, noise cancelling, comfort, and the portability. And I'll tackle each of those four critical points in this review, naming a winner in each category. Also, the over-ear headphones have the easy sound-quality advantage on the QC20 earbuds because you get a wider sound stage and harder-hitting bass. Even at low volumes, you can block out most ambient noise and idle chatter: "quiet" indeed. They make Beats Studio/Pro headphones feel like strapping two conch shells to your skull. In terms of storage, they did away with the card slot from the QC15 (seriously, that was a waste of space), and dropped the interior zippered pouch as well. Long-term foam pad wear: About 2 years into my QC15s, I needed to replace the ear cushions because the leatherette was starting to disintegrate. Overall Winner: QC25. The QC25 represents the best Bose noise cancelling headphones to date."
"Doesn't feel much bigger, and still has room for ipod, Gameboy, batteries, whatever). Sennheiser- Square shape, low profile, however not a lot of room for anything else in case. Audio Technica- Nice big case if you want to carry extra stuff (Nintendo DS, ipod, etc). Beat case is very elegant and hip, but very wide and skinny. Strong plastics, good components, thick cord. Heavy duty industrial plastics, metal fasteners. High end box, thick cord, great packaging, solid construction. Only concern of mine is that the battery compartment seems a little fragile. Touches of aluminum on the headphones, and some nicer quality padding. While not as substantial at the Sennheiser, they do feel more luxurious and a little more solidly built than the QC15. Audio Technica- Nice solid construction, appears durable. After a few hours, my ears hurt from the pressing, but some adjustments can be made. Beats seemed to be a little tight on my head and I didn't see a way to make them less "compressy." Gets warm and tight on head on long flights. The Sennheisers helped me hear parts of songs I had never heard before, but so did the Beats (baselines were much stronger). Sennheiser- I actually wore these at home too, simply to hear parts of songs I had never heard before. The Beats sounded great, but were EXTREMELY bass heavy. You will hear complexity of base lines that you never noticed. Pop music will sound very muted, rap and hip hop will pop and you'll feel like you have a Kicker Bass speaker in your car. I listen to a lot of rap and pop, so it was mildly annoying. I ultimately had to turn my treble settings up on my ipod to balance the sound. They do a good job of making you think you bought a nice product (and it is). Removeable cord (so it won't rip out if you jerk it accidently). Sennheiser- nice cord, push to talk button (temporarily mutes NC and sound which is great for interruptions on airplanes). When you put them on without music, they offer decent noise cancellation. Summary: Please understand, noise cancellation will not drown out a crying baby, slamming doors, or people talking. If you don't listen to music, these might isolate sounds even more and be counter-productive. I do not feel they are overwhelmingly better or worth an upgrade if you were happy with QC15 (but some people like the latest and greatest). Audio Technica and Sennheiser don't seem to have any new offerings either, so this segment has been kind of stagnant. The Audio Technica is a great entry price point-value item. Like the Sennheisers, they made me hear parts of songs I had never heard before, but on the bass side. Final assessment: Audio-Technica- best balance of value for money. Sennheiser- Best sound and comfort. Bose- By far Best Noise Cancelation. I use these for airplane travel only, so I ended up keeping the Bose."
"The planned obsolescence for failure, in my opinion, to stop at exactly 12 months, is unfortunate. Bose, when working are the best noise canceling of the 4 headphones I own....but will not last!!!"

Reviews
"I've tried everything to make the experience a bit more tolerable from earbuds, a single ear earbud, Bluetooth headsets, and a very expensive professional USB headset. You can use the unit in two ways, either attached directly to your phone or computer using the mini-plug at the end of the headset cord or attached to your computer using the USB control. You attach the full-size USB plug to your computer and the device is recognized and installed on the computer. First, the volume controls for the audio you hear are controlled by the little four button box on the USB dongle, but instead of being changed in the box itself, the volume changes are handled by your computer. One thing not totally made clear in the description or photos is that there is a button on the control dongle for the headset mic."
"When wearing headphones for a long period of time they can sometimes become uncomfortable, that is not the case with these headphones."
"I also love the the headset is not restricting and can be used on any device requiring an audio jack in addition to the computer plug in seen in the picture."
"Pros: - Very (extremely) comfortable. - Very good audio - clear with a wide range of volume. - Excellent to use for dictation with Dragon Naturally Speaking dictation software. - Did I mention they were comfortable? - Boom mic is very easy to position, and it stays were put. - It can be used with or without the extra volume controller / USB converter (I don't use mine). Cons: - Way too many pros such that it makes me feel bias - but it is what it is. - It is wired, so you have to plug in. GIVE Reviews.

"I am by no means comparing computer/home theater speakers to the likeness of a pair of $6,000 Genelec studio monitors, but I have high regards for these Logitech speakers. To be honest, I bought these speakers alongside a monitor for my PC not expecting much other than knowing that for a fact they will at least be better than the speakers found in my TV, which I was using as a monitor for the longest time. I was simply blown away at the sound quality that these speakers put out even when they were not properly setup in terms of placement. When setting up the speakers, I recommend referencing the picture I included for placement and using a song that you know well and setting the volume to your normal listening volume and then modifying the bass knob to your satisfaction."
"Probably the best desktop sound system for the money."
"I think for that price back then they sounded really good although I always wished the sub would reach deeper instead of sounding so boomy and hollow. These speakers have an even broader soundstage and the bass goes into sub territory instead of woofer mid bass. While in game sounds from left and right appear to come from 2-3 feet away from the monitor."
"The cheaper speakers these replaced had better high end."
"I'm using it in my garage where it replaced an old HK 2.1 system."
"The sound quality is amazing and I literally can't turn them up to full volume because of how loud these speakers are."

"Also, the ad for this screen states it has an IR control-- it does not. I found out that there are indeed two adjustment knobs on the screen that will change the travel distance of the screen both in the up and down direction. Lower the screen a bit using the control box button, press the stop button and then raise it back up. When it stop turn the control, and as you do the screen will either raise or lower (depending on which way you turn the wrench) a small amount. To adjust the down direction you do the same procedure using the other control adjustment...you simple lower the screen all the way using the control box and then make the fine adjustment by turning the control knob using the wrench. UPDATE: 4/22/15. As I posted in my original review I was a little disapointed when I discovered that the projector remote was RF (radio frequency) controlled and not IR (infrared) controlled as stated in the ad. This is only because I use a Harmony remote to easily control all my AV gear with a simple click of the remote, and it only works with IR controlled device. Having an extra remote to simply raise and lower the screen really bugged me, since most all my home is automated to some degree and I also wanted the projector screen to be included in that category. Since the Homegear screen also has a manual control box that can be used to raise and lower the screen it seemed possible to wire in the MK-161 to the Homegear control box to simulate actually pressing the keys when the relay closed to raise and lower the screen. The next perfect thing was that the Harmony already knew about the MK-161in it's database, so it was easy to add the codes to my remote and then add the device into my Harmony activities so that everytime I selected "watch a movie" on the remote it would send the IR codes to the MK-161, which in turn would pulse the appropriate relay and manually make the switch in the Homegear control box temporarily close-- the same was if I had pressed the actual button on the control box. I ended up putting the MK-161 in a project and mounting next to the Homegear control box and you'd think it actually came with the screen. UPDATE: 5/3/16. It's been over a year now and I just wanted to follow-up and let everyone know that the screen, projector and MK-161 control box is still working flawlessly."
"From what I can tell, this screen is nearly identical (or perhaps entirely identical) in terms of the quality of image you'd get compared to the brand names that are offered at two or three times the price."
"The screen arrived in a timely manner, opened the package immediately and discovered 3 different bents and dents as it was mentioned by other buyers as well ( I was feeling lucky when ordering) - So, i am installing it and will be covering it in a box to make if a hidden screen so I did not make a big deal out of it - the outter part is thin metal and you will mostly like have them too, but the bend and dents do not affect the operation."
"Today, while closing, a loose wire connecting the motors (inside the housing) got all tangled up with the screen, choking up the mechanism and preventing it from functioning. I didn't expect this and had windows in the way, so I ended up having to suspend it from the ceiling, dropping it a couple feet using 2' pipes and flanges from home depot."
"So you have a choice to make with this screen: either mount your screen so the case off center or mount is so that the case is centered but the screen is off center when rolled down."

"This weekend I drilled a hole in the top portion of the desk and attached the mount using the 4” grommet. When I ordered the mount, I didn’t realize that the 4” grommet would work for passing it through a desk with a hole in it. It has allowed me to have the left monitor arm fully extended and then the right one it adjusted to be next to it. My opinions are solely mine and are NOT influenced by anything other than the QUALITY and PERFORMANCE of this particular product."
"The clamp and pole are quite a bit heavier than you'd imagine looking at the picture. I opened this late at night after the kids were asleep excited to get everything mounted, only to find the bolt that clamps the arms onto the pole wasn't included. Unfortunately, because I opened it so late, there was nothing I could do and had to let everything sit in a pile until the next morning when I could run to the hardware store to get a bolt."
"But, the top shelf of the standing desk was holding my monitors, and that space was completely wasted. I bought this mount, hesitant and the monitors belong to my company and I didn't want to risk them on something that might fail."
"My desk is not a big computer desk and I used the attachment to mount it on the table (not through the table). Also easy to put your monitors on it."
"I own two 24" monitors and although the arms, pole and desk mount work about as I would expect, the rotation design is pretty bad. If a speck of dust hits the top part on the left or right side of one of the monitors, or your cat's tail brushes the monitor, the entire monitor begins to rotate (see provided picture)."

Best Computer Hard Drive Accessories

AmazonBasics External Hard Drive Case
Compact case to store or transport medium and larger portable hard drives.
Reviews
"I have several of these case to carry my WD My Passport external HD while travelling."
"There are many good reviews about this product, so I added few photos for you to look at it. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, and it is well worth the five stars rating!"
"I purchased the "regular" size as the description seems to state that it fits the Seagate Slim drives. If you own the Seagate Slim, the "My Passport" version is the one that will fit, not the regular one."
"The case is good, fits perfectly with Seagate Backup Plus."
"My only note on this is I would say it should be referred to as a "rigid" case and not a "hard" case."
"Very small and light weight but seems to have good quality."
"This case will fit most 1-2 TB (regular and slim) external hard drives—. Just check the measurements of your hard drive and compare it to the measurements provided for this case."
"Case itself is not hard enough to withstand an impact in case if it falls with a drive inside."

Reviews
"I don't use SD or MicroSD cards much any more like I did in college, but when my girlfriend's Android freaked out and corrupted her entire Micro SD card (I think that's what it was), I told her to let me borrow it. Using this card reader, I was able to plug her Micro SD into my computer, and, with the card still in the reader, ran a data recovery program that rebuilt all her photos that weren't corrupted. Like I said, I don't use card readers very often any more, but this is one of those things that I feel like everyone should have in case of an emergency, like needing to download photos after a digital camera's computer cable is lost, or when you need to get files off an Android."
"Very nice card reader."
"Great idea."
"I bought this based off other good reviews, being as I wouldn't have normally picked it out myself because it seemed too cheap to be good."
"This is a small USB device that will accept both an SD card and a Micro SD card without an adapter."
"Purchased in tandem with a PNY card for my wife's new camera, works just as you'd expect for data transfer."
"The side SD ports cause the SD card to interfere with the USB port next to it."
"The first time I used it it seemed fine, it read the card and was able to pull access my photo's."

Swingline Stapler, Optima 40, Compact, Low Force, 40 Sheets Capacity, Black / Silver (S7087842)
Durable metal construction ensures long lasting use; flat clinch stapling operation forms staples flat on the back of the bottom sheet so that many stapled items can be neatly stacked without toppling over.
Reviews
"You need to follow it through until the entire staple closes with a second click, and then you'll get a perfect staple every time. I have a feeling people who get jammed staples is because they didn't staple all the way through, like mentioned above. I have used both generic staples (though it's still Swingline branded) and premium SF.3 staples and I have no problem with either."
"The old one was softer touch but jammed; this is softer touch than traditional staplers."
"This stapler is one of the easiest staplers to use I have ever encountered."
"I can't test anything over 25-sheets with the staples I bought because the staples have a stated capacity of 25 sheets. UPDATE 10/10/2016: This actually works on 47 sheets even with the Optima staples, which claims 25 sheets capacity (Swingline Staples, Optima Premium, 0.25 Inch Leg Length, 210 per Strip, 3,750 Staples per Box (S7035556))."
"Every day when I showed up to work in the afternoon I'd have to play scavenger hunt in order to find it."
"This is the best little desk stapler I've ever owned."
"bought this for myself because my stupid government job wouldn't buy me a high capacity stapler. Good thing too because I take it to and from work with me and use it equally at work and at home... some of my syllabi are 30+ pages and a regular stapler would never have worked for those."
"I print out scientific papers and they tend to be thick and this little and mighty stapler does the job very well. Donate the old one so we don’t end up with a bunch of Stanley Bostitch staplers in the land fields."

With extra controls at your fingertips, M510 lets you browse the web, flip through photo albums and navigate documents faster and easier. 2-year battery life practically eliminates the need to replace batteries Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions.
Reviews
"After doing a deep dive for some information, the internet scholars on a couple first-page forums have confirmed a few facts for me. Laser sensors have inherent issues - some complaints on the old 510 were that it exhibited cursor stutters, jitters, and shakes - and the modified design is likely to address those concerns. Fortunately, the folks at Logitech seem to be pragmatists and have figured that, while they took away some of the super-awesome DPI's, the mouse actually performs more satisfactorily during real-world use. I almost didn't even open the packaging because I thought it was counterfeit, so my first time using it was littered with skepticism."
"The new 2nd generation M510 uses a "laser grade" optical sensor whereas the 1st generation M510 used an actual laser sensor."
"This one is only a couple months old (a replacement through Amazon for another purchased one), and will no longer accept a left-click input (and will actually randomly toss in its own). Logitech makes great products, ordinarily, but I cannot recommend a model that has malfunctioned on me three times--especially since it's failed in roughly the same way all three times."

Reviews
"To make it 10x more ergonomic, place a wedge with a 30 degree incline under it to make it the most natural wrist angle and keep you from resting any weight on the nerves in your wrist."
"I would highly recommend this product especially with a padded rest and angled stand like the one I made."
"It connects just fine and works on several different surfaces without difficulty (it uses Microsoft's Bluetrack technology for better tracking). If you don't make this change the mouse is almost useless because if it sits idle for a few minutes, windows will turn off Bluetooth and - no more mouse. I have medium sized hands, and a smaller mouse feels a little more comfortable to me, but this too, is simple what I'm used to. Anyway, those of you that are reluctant to use this mouse due to the connection problems, there is a simple fix, and once that's done the mouse works great with no disconnect problems."
"Pros: - Internal battery. - 6 programable buttons. - Works on glass. - Ergonomic shape. - Bluetooth/Unifying receiver. Cons. - Scroll wheel. - Loud. - Matte texture. The things that I don't like about this mouse are mostly trivial but they're things I'm not a big fan of."
"There's no mention anywhere of the 6th mouse button under the thumb rest, I only found it because rubber molding pops up a little for it and I tried to push the molding back down only to hear a click. The 4th and 5th buttons are utterly useless due to their size and placement so far back on the mouse."

"I thought it was weird, because I thought all "61" ink should work in all printers that take "61" ink. Here is the list of printers that are listed as compatable on the box: HP Deskjet - 1000, 1010, 1012, 1050, 1051, 1055, 1056, 1510, 1512, 1514, 2050, 2510, 2512, 2514, 2540, 2541, 2542, 2543, 2544, 3000, 3050, 3050A, 3051A, 3052A, 3054, 3054A, 3056A, 3510, 3511, 3512."
"For many years, I have been decidedly well-served by HP printers, and by their accompanying HP ink cartridges."
"This is the only ink I will use in my HP printer, I have tried other brands that claim to give same results, but I was not satisfied with the color quality they gave my pictures."
"Worked for my Deskjet 3510 and it is HP ink HP even sent me a thank you for buying HP genuine ink if you take out your ink cartridge and on it there is a big number 61 then this is what you need if you have a HP look at your ink cartridge there should be a big black number on it search on amazon HP and (your number from cartridge) together that's the cartridge you need to buy both of my inks where same 61 just c if yours are the same better safe then sorry."
"This ink is compatible with my printer, however, even though my printer says the ink levels are 70% and 85% nothing comes out on the pages."
"I am very very disappointed to find out I paid money for color and black ink and the black ink has nothing in it."
"When I went to remove the orange plastic tape from both the black and tri-color cartridges, the tape was impossible to remove."
"Usually this cartridge would last me a few months because I rarely print and try to use Docusign or free DocHub to complete and submit online forms."

"I have run out of power in airports, meetings, my car only to find my cable will not charge my iPhone. So I bought 10 and gave them to my kids, replaced all of the cables in my cars, house, bags."
"8/7/2017 New update: after using it for more than 6 months (use it 5 days per week in office), the cable is still in good condition and still look like new. I have confident about this product because (Base on my pervious purchased syncwire product experiences): (1) High quality Material: strong enough to protect the cables and prevent broken. (2) Good after sell service: even the cable is broken, their life time warranty would able to replace another one for u."
"Sticking with products that are certified by those guidelines will insure the quality of the products and in return lengthen the life of your phone or tablet battery as well."
"After going through wire after wire that would last anywhere from 1-4 months and costing $6-$12, it was time for me to invest in a good quality wire that was going to last me. The best part is that I contacted them about a replacement, and all they had me do was send a picture of the ruined wire, confirm my address, and I received a new wire in the mail(took about 8 days.)."
"This one looked good, shipping was fast, price was right and I'd definitely buy again if I ever needed to."
"I am very happy with my Syncwire cable."
"Nice well constructed equal to if not better (I think) than the original cable that came with my phone."
"I need a smooth cable, but if your ok with a metal roughness feel, go for it."

Reviews
"All of my devices are much faster now... PS4, iPhones, iPads, Epson Printer, Baby Monitor, Tablets, Roku 3 box, Roku Streaming Stick, etc... 2) Cables .... Please note, one other thing I did in addition to getting this router is that I also bought all new cat6 cables (from Amazon Basics), and that has helped the router to connect well to the cable modem. In all conditions, wired with Cat6 cables and/or wi-fi, this Nighthawk router has delivered the speeds I was missing for years. One thing to keep in mind is that some older devices can only use 2.4g so it is that old device itself that limits the connection speed (not your wi-fi necessarily)."
"In extremely rudimentary, lay terms, the Nighthawk has the strength of three routers. It can handle three times the number of connections a single-band router ever could (presumably), yet all the devices are able to "see" one another and play nice together. *. Our friends make fun of us because we have totally embraced the concept of the "Internet of Things." Besides the usual gadgets (iPads, phones, game consoles), we use a Nest thermostat, a Nest Cam, Philips Hue bulbs, an Amazon Echo on our kitchen countertop, and a Sonos. But by far the biggest hassle has been the simple fact that our trusty old Linksys router just could not handle the workload. When you have this many gadgets and gizmos connected to the 'net, it's pretty easy to bring the whole home infrastructure down. After a couple years of frustration, my husband and I agreed to go with a beefier router. About a jillion of my friends (all of whom work in tech) endorsed the Netgear Nighthawk without reservation. Sitting here, I just ran a speed test, and on my wireless connection I'm getting 58.37 Mbps download speeds—not too shabby, considering we pay for 50."
"I have been using a cable company provided router/modem combo for years. I hooked this router to SB6183 SURFboard modem and for the first few hours everything went as expected. I did a soft reset on the router, rebooted the PC, tried another 2.4 GHZ device in the same location, but nothing fixed except a hard reset of the router by unplugging and re plugging. If you are thinking of purchasing this, please do an internet search for R7500v2 dropping wireless or R7500v2 losing wireless."

"This one purchased in September of 2013 lasted just under 4.5 years before the battery gave up. This will be one of the first ones that I am going to replace just the battery. By comparison, I've owned APC backups in the past and all have failed within 2 to 3 years."
"if your not already using these for anything with a hard drive, or lights with fans (projection tv's), you are nuts...."
"A big upgrade from our old APC unit with a similar setup - the display had many useful features."
"I turned around like i always do to double check to make sure everything is off, but this time I smelled burning plastic looked under my desk and the Battery backup caught on fire."
"Based on my location and the weight of this product, using UPS would cost me roughly $80 or more just to get this thing fixed for free."
"For a second, I thought that the power went out for some reason again, but I didn't hear our backup generators on, and I noticed my alarm clock and electric heater in my room still worked. I was really confused, until the UPS emitted a solid tone alerting that the battery was at a critically low voltage, and then quickly shut off. Luckily, Amazon saved the day with their amazing customer support, and promptly shipped me a replacement for free without even having to return this defective unit (maybe I can still use the battery for something)."

Best Surge Protectors

Belkin BE112230-08 12-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector
12-plug power strip with 8-foot cord, ideal for home or office use.
Reviews
"I have no idea how well the RJ45 phone plugs or the cable protectors work as I don't use them, but the outlets work and Belkin products have not let me down for surge protection in the past."
"What a wonderful power strip!"
"I'm not a huge review writer, but this product and the support provided by Belkin warrants some comments. The product failed within the first 30 days while being hooked up to my computer and a TV. No fuses tripped within my home... something apparently just shorted out inside the unit. They have a process similar to Amazon which allows them to ship you the new product, then you return the defective one to them once the new one is received. This is obviously a huge part of the equation for a $25.00 product and I assume it will be covered eventually once they provide some actual dollar figures about what I will be charged if I don't return the bad one. So I contact CitiBank (my credit card) to notify them of a probable dispute at this point... and they tell me the actual charge was $80.30. Anyway, short version: product failed twice (which to me warrants the one star review alone), Belkin customer service then provides the trifecta of failure. Five days later I received a response that appeared to be written by an actual person (versus an automated reply) that stated. "Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support. Please call our customer support department during business hours". So that was great. I never received anything and tracking shows it was returned to their docks almost a month ago, yet they charge me."
"Disappointed that this offers little to no protection...only plus is 8 outlets on a switch."
"It caught on fire and burned my carpet, but it didn't burn the whole house down since I was sitting right next to it."
"The real news: none of Belkin's products, or other similar surge protectors, can protect electronic equipment during a catastrophic surge, such as that caused by a close lightning strike. Such a protector, properly connected by an electrician, will dissipate 85-90% of the initial surge from a lightning strike, and allow a Belkin-type protector, if good enough, to do its intended job. And now, the kicker: they reserve the right to have you mail them all of the equipment you are claiming is damaged--at YOUR expense and with ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEE that either you'll get it back or that they'll give you one red cent even after they receive your damaged equipment. And if they do deny your claim after all of this, your only resort is to sue them, and the amount of damages claimed may exceed the limits for small claims court in your state (meaning you'll have to hire a lawyer--have you priced one lately?). First, get yourself a whole-house surge protector, and then, protect all of your electronic equipment (including appliances) with appropriately scaled surge protectors from Monoprice."
