   Product description is NOT correct; this is a 960 joule product, January 12, 2010

   This review is from: Philips SPP2136WA 6-Outlet Home Electronics Surge protector (White) (Electronics)

   I purchased this product both from Amazon and WallyWorld. The Amazon description here is NOT correct. Philips item # SPP2136WA/17 is 960 joules (not 450 joules). The Philips website also shows SPP2136WA/17 to be a 960 joule product.

   When I ordered this item from Amazon, I did receive the 960 joule product, despite the description here of 450 joules.

   You actually WANT the higher joule product, of course. More joules means more protection.

   The picture of the actual item – it’s shape and color – IS correct. However the picture of the box – depicting a 450 joule product – IS NOT correct. The actual box looks just like the picture – except it is labeled 960 joules. I uploaded a picture to prove it.

   The difference is meaningful. Posters/reviewers on various websites seemed to recommended a minimum of 750 joules to adequately protect your home electronic devices from typical surge.

   I replaced most of my original in-home surge protection (based on very cheap power strips & plugs as found in Walgreens and such) with this 960 joule product and also the CyberPower 750 7-Outlet 1250 Joule Home Office Surge Suppressor. Taken together, I figure I am now pretty well protected.
