If you're looking for a surge protector that isn't your traditional power strip and don't want anything awkwardly long and thin while covering up that extra outlet you won't be using, this is it. I bought a few of these surge protectors by Rocketfish and have went through quite a few power outages (one of them being my fault), and my products have been protected and are working just fine. It's nice to have a peace of mind with surge protectors and if you're looking for something similar, I would recommend these. Keep in mind that there is a light on these surge protectors (like a blue nightlight almost) so that way you're always aware when whatever is plugged into this surge protector your things will be protected. It's not too bright and I use it for a nightlight, but for those that may be sensitive to light or want a dark room, consider putting tape over the "Protected" and "Grounded" status lights.
