I got this power strip to use with my media center, and it works pretty well.
Pros:
- Cheap and good quality.
- Dedicated ports for power bricks.
- Creative design saves a bit of space.
- Lengthy cord.
- Flat plug design.
Cons:
- The design of the plug means that it blocks the bottom wall outlet if you plug it into the top outlet. A right-angle plug would have been much better.
- The cord is stiff, making it difficult to position the surge protector.
- The creative design means that cables will cross over each other when you use all the outlets.
Overall, it’s very good for the price, but if you’re like me and you like to keep your cables neat, this surge protector can be a little tricky.

I have been using this for my entertainmetn center for a few years and has performed as expected. The multiple angles allow for bulky transformers and cords coming from different angles but the end result is a tangled looking mess. Still it works and that is probably unavoidable. I always look for a flat plug so that is nice but the cord comes off straight down rather than to the side meaning it will block the outlet below. I just use the bottom plug so it is not an issue but it is something to consider if you have other constraints (plugs that are controlled by a light switch etc). this is a minor issue though. In all I have been happy with it…

Got 3 of them a few months ago, and buying another one now. Excellent product, fits many different plug types. No flaws.

I love the design of this thing, but it didn’t protect my equipment — a power surge fried one of my RAM modules and one of my hard drives.

I ordered that Fellowes 99090 to protect a new computer and the several peripherals that attach to it. Its most attractive features are the price, the compact form and the innovative design allowing for as many as eight plugs to attach to it. So far, I am happy with my purchase.
Here are the specs and features:
- 3 line protection
- right-angle plug
- 15-Amp circuit breaker
- 120V 60Hz
- Noise filtering 40-45dB
- Joule rating 1300
- UL 1449 Rating/Clamping Level 330
- 6 ft. chord
- Illuminated on/off switch
- LED surge indicator
- Up to 8 outlets
The warranty paper claims ‘lifetime’ for the item itself and up to $50,000 on connected equipment for 5 years.
The lifetime in ‘lifetime warranty’ promise is not the purchaser’s life but the life of the product itself. To quote from the Fellowes warranty document, “the lifetime of the product is considered to be the time until the product naturally ceases to provide surge protection”. In other words, there is a warranty on the product for as long as it works. To quote again, “when the LED fails to light, the product has performed its duty” and the lifetime warranty is no longer in effect.
As for the $50,000 connected equipment warranty, the paper enumerates 10 instances under which the warranty becomes null and void including “4. Fellowes determines that the equipment was not damaged by an Event or that no Event took place. 5. Fellowes determines that the Surge Protector was not properly installed, was tampered with, or was altered in any way.”
To conclude, this is good value for the price but forget about the warranties. I am taking one star away for the warranty claims.
