Summary: made too much noise
Comment: I had high hopes for this surge protector since it has been given such good reviews, but unfortunately I was disappointed. I'm sure it functions great as a surge protector; it has many usable outlets and probably provides good protection. But the problem I had was with the noise it made. At least one other reviewer mentioned it on here. It started a few hours after I had it plugged in. With the plugged in components on or off the surge protector constantly made a soft buzzing noise, like electricity flowing as the other reviewer mentioned. I lived with it for a day but couldn't handle it and had to return it. You wouldn't think a little buzzing would get in the way but I could hear it when I had the TV at normal listening volumes. It was annoying and I didn't think it was necessary so a return was in order. It's possible that since the room I had this surge protector in was on the smaller side it may have made the sound more noticeable. I also ordered the 8 outlet Belkin at the same time to put in another room and it's been great, no noise and no problems.

Summary: No problems but request a manufacturing tweak.
Comment: I haven't had any problems with the surge protector. But, if Belkin were to do some product tweaks, I would ask for better hanging holes (on the back) and a new on/off switch. Several times I have accidentally flipped the on/off switch. Unfortunately, my DVR needs constant power for the guide to stay active - it was messed up for almost 12 hours.

Summary: Ho-hum
Comment: The surge protector is Ok. My complaint is that you have to be Superman to plug your device into the outlet. I am a big guy, but with this protector I feel like Olive Oyl.

Summary: A garage tool user
Comment: I bought this Belkin power strip to use in my garage for radio and various tools that have the little adapter power supplies, and other tools. This was a replacement for an older, 10 or years that I have been using. Oh yes, the power strip I am using in my den for computers, printers, and related is the same brand, but it has space for 4 large plug ins. This has space only for 3. the reason being that on the one just bought they have placed in the fourth position plugs for phone and network. I really liked the older, about 2 years model that has the phone plugs on the end edge, not in the position where a power plug should be.

Summary: Makes Noise
Comment: Bought this & hooked it up to my 46in LCD HDTV & my dvd player & game system. When I turn my TV on the surge protector makes an audible noise like energy is flowing through it. The noise continues anytime while the TV is on then stops when the TV is shut off. I emailed Belkin's customer service on this & they said the surge protector is ok & this is a known side-effect of the product. I have since bought a different surge protector (not Belkin) & have no problems. Had I known this issues with Belkin in advance I would not have purchased it.
