Editorial Review:
RECOTON SM-BG8, 8 OUTLET SURGE SUPPRESSOR WITH AUDIBLE ALARMSpikeMaster's SM-BG8 is a basic surge protector that would work well in any location. With eight outlets, including three oversized, the SM-BG8 automatically grounds voltage over 330 volts and protects against power spikes up to 1,295 joules. Ground fault and surge protection indicator lights show when protection is operational. An audible alarm and 15-amp circuit breaker are also built in. SpikeMaster provides a warranty for the SM-BG8 and up to $50,000 in connected devices.

In response to T. Kanchanapinyokul of Burbank...: 
Okay. To answer your question: you're wrong. Cheaper is usually NOT better and, in the case of surge protection, it almost NEVER is (but something tells me you knew that, right?) While this product is, well, okay -- for the price -- do yourself a favor and spend a few more bucks for something more reliable (like Belkin's SurgeMaster, for example).

cheap: 
it cheaper than the Monster Surge Protector i own. and it looks the same. don't know much about the spec. but as a consumer, cheaper is always a good thing? someone tell me if i am wrong?
Great Design!: 
What can you say about an outlet strip?How about specially designed outlets for those bulky power (transformer) plugs. Or a rotating head on the 3-prong plug, so you can plug it in at any angle in case the adjoining outlet has one of those bulky transformer plugs plugged into it. I didn't know it had these features when I ordered it, but now that I do, I won't buy anything else!
