This is a nice power strip. It is hard to find these with a long enough cord, but this one has a 12-foot cord, making it versatile in environments that do not have many outlets, such as older homes and apartments and perhaps places like dorm rooms. It is built solid, and has a nice appearance. It has a high tolerance surge protection, which give me confidence in stormy weather that my plugged-in equipment is safe. This product comes with a strong warranty to reimburse damages, which gives even more confidence in the safety and durability of this power strip
