We already own a large Belkin surge protector which has protected our more expensive electrical equipment in our lounge and a smaller one for our computer equipment. In our spare room we've had our games machines and a small lcd tv and never thought about protecting it until some friends were round and they explained that last year during a summer storm they had lost ever item of electrical equipment from the only room in the house they didn't have surge protection and their insurance company didn't want to know!
As all the equipment in our spare room is situated right next to sockets I didn't want to buy one with a long cable. This fits the bill perfectly and is much slimmer than the more expensive Belkin models.
For £6.15 from Amazon for a 6-way Belkin surge protector you can't really grumble. Foe £1 more you can get one with a 3m cable but I didn't need one that long
I have used Belkin Surge Protector products in the past, and they have proved invaulable in protecting TVs, Computers etc.... The size and number of plugs on this one make it ideal for use behind your TV making sure you DVD players, Sky Box etc... are all protected. Most people will need extension caables, and you might as well pay a few quid more and protect all your expensive electronics.
