Belkin SurgeCube.
Most surge suppressors come in the form of bulky, multi socket units on long trailing flexes. Instead of electrical spaghetti mayhem all I wanted was a small, unobtrusive protector for one item so I was very pleased to discover the SurgeCube. For about a fiver I now have peace of mind for my expensive new £900 fridge freezer and its contents - it's a no brainer!
Surge protectors are a wise precaution for any electrical goods you value or would be inconvenienced losing the use of. Not just the usual computers but freezers, boilers, washing machines and any audio visual equipment could be protected too.
Surges are more common than you might think - not so long a go a whole street locally lost every electrical item plugged in when a faulty transformer on a nearby electricity pole converted them into blackened smouldering rubbish. I seem to remember a fire broke out in one of the houses too. Lightning strikes within a mile can enter your house through incoming services and faulty electronic goods inside your home can also generate spikes that do damage. The use of surge protectors seems a small price to pay for avoiding such trouble.
Just a quick note on the rating of surge protectors in general. You should be aware that the figures quoted are an aggregate! So, when it says this unit can handle 25,000 amps what it really means is that it can cope with up to 12,000 amps on a line to neutral fault and 6,500 amps each on a line to earth or neutral to earth fault. So in the real world the maximum it will cope with is lower and will depend on the nature of the fault. The 861 joule rating is likewise an aggregate. Don't let this put you off - all protectors are quoted in this rather optimistic way and what we have here is ample.... Read more ›

Surge protection devices are usually clunky great things you want to hide away, but this neat little package does everything you need to protect one expensive computer, TV or DVD. I bought loads and scattered them throughout the house.

The picture shows the version with the phone but the version supplied does not include a telephone socket. Beware, the version with the telephone socket is somewhere else in Amazon (with exactly the same picture).
The prices are all over the place, often cheaper to buy the telephone/modem/fax version anyway.

As with all Belkin products you receive top quality manufacture and goods that really work.
This 1 way surge cube is designed to plug straight into your mains socket and it has two neon lights that give a comforting glow indicating that you are being protected from electrical surge and that your electrical system is correctly earthed.
I use mine combined with Belkins four socket mains adapter which also has surge protection thus giving double the protection.
If you think im being over cautious then thing again because early last year i actually put the entire system to test during a electrical storm.
Really i should have closed my computer down long before there was any danger of overload but true to form the serge switch on the four way adapter cut in aswell as this excellent Serge Cube.
Belkin also provide a comprehensive insurance against damage to equipment whilst using their products aslong as you can prove their equipment was to blame which is not that easy but when you have seen these products actually do their job of cutting power safely to your equipment then really a claim on their insurance should not be needed.
I have several Belkin products in use in my system and every one of them feels well made and bulit to last.
Their products are neither expensive nor complicated to use and my favorite is definately their extension lead sockets with built in surge protection.
They are beautifully made out of above average quality plastics and depending where you buy them do not cost the earth and used with this clever Serge Cube will give you peace of mind in protecting expensive electrical equipment of all kinds.

I bought 4 of these for the Sky box, new LCD TV and DVD recorder. They all fit nicely on my double x2 sockets and give a feeling of security as electricity spikes might well fry some if not all! Very unobtrusive and the lights show they are doing the job. The fourth one is used for the printer which is not on the computer's surgeboard (also a Belkin). All arrived well packaged and extremely promptly.

I bought this because I had a dishwasher which tripped the new 30mA trip switch that had been fitted to my consumer unit. It only tripped when you were switching it off bizarrely! I read that antisurge devices can work 'in reverse' - in this case stop a surge getting back to the trip switch. It works, I can now use my dishwasher as usual. So this little unit has saved me getting in an electrician to try and solve a very unusual problem and maybe having to get a new dishwasher - well worth the money!

I purchased and installed two of these. I can only say that the lights are on and they appear to work. The problem with this type of device is that I will not know if they are OK until it is too late - a bit like a parachute!

does what it says
Simple to fit in to the system I was installing with £25k liability cover. Only time will tell with this product, but I am sure it will be fine. 2nd time I have bought this

As expected..
Can't really go too wrong with this, but you won't know for sure til you get a surge! Definitely more convenient and a lot cheaper than getting a power adapter with surge protector... Read more

For once, something that does not do what is written on the packaging.
Actually, zero stars would be more appropriate. I bought 6 of these and two were completely destroyed in power surges. Even replacing the fuses didnt fix them. Read more
