I had two APC power strips burn out on me a long time ago...

But now, with the remote-reading meters, things are much more complicated...

If someone wants to keep their power strip intact and not have to replace it every now and then, I’m sorry to say it, but the only solution is a voltage monitoring socket, like the Amarad BX-21-D, before the power strip on the wall.

Only with this combination do you protect your power strip from overvoltages, because the remote-reading meters no longer have coils to absorb surges...
They only have chips, motherboards,
and a GSM communication circuit for sending telemetry data
and consumption measurements.
If you want, ask an electrician about how the protection of household appliances works nowadays...

Excuse me, am I seeing this right?! It's over 50 euros??? I bought it in 2015 for about 20 euros... It's excellent... after 10 years on PC etc. it still works perfectly and has saved me several times but I don't understand why the price went up so much. The only explanation is that they realized it's a very good product and the price was too low by mistake, but still I think it's a lot

After a year and some use, the power strip broke and at first the second light wouldn't turn on and then it stopped working completely! I have seen in the comments that the same problem has happened to other people! Completely unacceptable for its price and reputation..!

I've had it for a year now and I have no complaints.

Very good power strip. I have various devices plugged in and it works perfectly.

Excellent. I have been using it for 5 years already. Reliable without causing problems (I would also say it is attractive compared to the competition).

It looks like a very good power strip in terms of construction. I don't know if it actually works and if it provides protection.

Update 14/3/25
It broke in less than a year and with not particularly heavy use

It really saves! Quality that protects devices from power outages and high voltages! Amazing...

Nice quality device, with the ability to be wall-mounted, protecting from power surges and the lights help you understand in which status it is, also important is the warranty they provide, it also has an on/off switch

It is a reliable and good power strip that does its job!! There was no issue with any device during short breaks and power fluctuations!!
It had 2 professional scales and a computer on top!!
The equivalent at home had a computer, a monitor, a laptop, etc

Use in office. Very satisfied so far. VFM for the job I want it for. Would buy it again.

If you are lucky and the devices you will connect all have the classic ending, then the product is good. If you are unlucky like me and the devices have a long ending, then you have a problem. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not foresee placing the positions sideways or vertically!

A very bad product from APC. I have two, and both after a few uses of the switch, started producing sparks.

Quality product, today I am putting on the second one. Reliable and for this money, perfect!

I have gotten 12 over the course of 4 years. All connected somewhere. They are good, now if lightning ⚡ strikes and everything burns that's another story.

Edit August 2024
The price has gone from 19 to 50 euros.

I bought it because my previous power strip was not working. It is really high-quality and does what it says, providing safety and charging mobile phones, laptops, etc. properly with the voltage of the current. I really don't regret the purchase, I will buy more for the house as I need them!!

The major drawback is that the plugs are not at an angle, and you cannot plug in a transformer - only a cable, otherwise it takes up two slots

I have had it for about six months, replacing a Crystal Audio that I had for about ten years and which eventually burned out. (It was worth its money). I don't consider it anything special, it is lightweight, relatively good quality plastic (better plastic than the Crystal Audio I had), it has a good length of cable, no issues there. The only negative is that in order to remove the socket plugs from the outlet (if you want to add or remove something), you will need some pliers, unfortunately it has a very tight child protection... also the On/off button is relatively hard.

I have had them for a year and they have saved my face.

Especially, I love that it has loops so I can hang it on nails.

It broke in a month and the company replaced it for free. The on/off button was sparking when opening and it died yesterday. I also have the PMF83VT-GR for six years in another apartment, it still works, although it sometimes gives me a shock when opening. The simple power strips I have still work perfectly, without any problems. So, if you're going to use it, forget about the on/off button, just unplug it directly from the socket.

Very good product. Besides protecting against power surges, it filters some frequencies beyond the basic 50Hz, resulting in smoother operation of many devices. As a side effect of this, it should not be used before Powerlines. For more serious voltage fluctuations protection, I recommend AVR.

Very good power strip. The ground OK and Surge protection indicators helped me understand which outlets in my house needed to be changed. In some, the ground light did not turn on, which means there was no grounding. The surge is for leakage, and both indicators are very useful.

It's worth its money! You get it and keep it for years without having any problem, and you have peace of mind

Very good comments and a big name in the industry. So I bought the X2. It does the job well. I hope it lasts for many years.

The APC is PERFECT... It performs very well in bad weather conditions and during frequent power outages... None of my devices were affected... Not even the two power strips that I have plugged into it...
In short, it's WORTH IT!!!

Excellent. It has been operating for several years and it is flawless without any problems in power outages that have occurred all these years. APC and minds blown

Overall, it seems to be of excellent quality, however, when it was overloaded, it burned. Of course, it protected the devices that were connected

I have no opinion on other brands, but this particular power strip (presumably) saved me when I plugged in many other electronic devices and a halogen heater on the high setting. Essentially, the circuit breaker of the power strip tripped, not the main circuit breaker of the house. I reset it using the switch on the side.
