 Not as good as first impressions indicated March 30, 2007

I've used Monster surge protectors in the past and so far haven't lost anything. This is yet another one, great price for a very nice surge power strip. I particularly like the right-angle plug, this is great when you want to have it behind furniture that sit up close to the wall. Very solid design.
UPDATE: Well, unfortunately I can't change the star review on this, but I can at least update this review and warn people against buying this. I was using it for my Tivo-TV combination and a bad storm one day fried the hard drive in my Tivo. So dock a couple stars for it failing to properly protect my device. So now I get to experience this Monster warranty process. Suffice to say, you will be lucky if you get anything out of them, or can fulfill the requirements and 3 pages of information they want you to send them. In my case, I have a Tivo DVD that no one within several hundred miles of me is "authorized" to repair as they require, and they require an inspection of the damaged equipment by such a technician prior to filing a claim. I have to order a replacement part on the internet, which they don't accept and they won't reimburse after the fact. You also have to pay to send the surge protector back to them for inspection as well, so basically you have to spend a significant amount of money to file a claim and may get absolutely nothing out of it. So basically, the warranty in a lot of cases is of little use and not worth the trouble they put you through versus just paying for repairs yourself. So you can dock another star or two for that. So while I like the design of this surge protector, I probably will go looking for another one that will properly protect my equipment at least.
It Saved my Home Theater!!! March 3, 2007

During a recent blizzard (Michigan) a large electrical problem blew out 4 substations and a large number of transformers resulting a wide spread 12 hour+ power outage. The resultant surge toasted out my dishwasher and track lights. However, the Monster AV600 saved my expensive home theater setup, although the AV600 got toasted also. IT DID IT'S JOB and I give it the highest recommendation possible. Great product at a low price. Thanks Monster!!
Quality surge protector, good value November 28, 2005

I recently purchased an LCD TV, and I wanted a decent surge protector for it. I discovered this one from Monster and it seemed like a reasonably affordable quality surge protector, so I purchased it.
The unit feels like it is of good quality, from the outlets to the body to the power cable. I have used other cheaper surge protectors, and this one feels more sturdy and durable. The right-angle plug is nice, since the cord doesn't stick straight out, allowing me to put the TV stand closer to the wall. Some labels were included with the surge protector, but I am not using them.
If you are looking for a simple quality surge protector that is not too expensive, I would recommend this. I normally consider Monster brand products to be somewhat overpriced, but this was a fairly good value for the price.
colorful idea March 21, 2008

This color coded powerstrip is such a good idea. I am always unplugging the wrong device but with this strip, I have put a small piece of tape on the back of each appliance and know exactly what I am unplugging. It also will lay absolutely flat--others that I have used are always tipping over. I rate this five stars for a simple idea that works just great.
One heck of a cord July 26, 2008

I don't know what some of you are talking about when you say that this is an inferior product. Monster is a really good, quality brand. The outlets are tight, so you don't have to worry about your cords coming out and losing power. It might be a bit much, but it's not that hard to get in. Someone said they had to put their full weight into it to get plugged in, they must be a wimp since a small guy like me was able to easily push it in with a little force. It looks a bit fruity, but it works really well. Plus the long cable is nice to have since none of my outlets are near my computer desk.
