I am a big fan of APC. I have a couple other surge protectors of theirs, and like them all. They are well built, seem very sturdy, and work well overall.
The main reason I was drawn to APC is because if any of their surge protectors get zapped and can no longer provide protection to your devices, they quit supplying power to them. I had an old surge protector of a different brand that I thought was good, but it was not. Apparently, it was no longer providing protection, but was still providing power, and a couple of my devices were damaged. I lost a paper shredder, which was not a big deal, and the power supply in my desktop PC, which turned out to not be a big deal (easy fix). It made me realize, though, how important it was to have proper surge protectors, not just ones you might find at the dollar store.
The best thing about APC, is their protectors work well, and are really comparable in price to something you would buy in a big box store.

APC SurgeArrest 7 Outlet Surge Protector
Reliable and Safe Protection from Lightning, Surges, and Spikes
The APC SurgeArrest Essential series represents the primary level of surge protection that should be present on any of your computers and household electronics. Its state-of-the-art circuitry offers protection for sensitive electronic equipment against larger power surges and more common power fluctuations. Seven surge protected outlets and status indicator LED lights make the APC PE76 SurgeArrest the best value for quality surge protection.
Convenient and Safe for Home or Office
The SurgeArrest will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged by a heavy strike or power line surge and it is unable to provide full protection.
Reliable Power Protection
Low let-through Ratings
APC surge protectors are given "let-through ratings," which indicate the maximum voltage level that can possibly reach your equipment after a surge or voltage spike has passed through an electric surge protector. Lower IEEE let-through ratings indicate better protection and performance. The APC Essential SurgeArrest series offers optimal performance with a let-through rating of less than 500V for North American products, and a rating of less than 15 percent for products sold worldwide.
Ensures Maximum Protection
APC SurgeArrest’s Fail Safe Mode disconnects equipment from the power supply, ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
Protection Working LED
The Protection Working LED illuminates when the SurgeArrest is switched on and supplying protection to your connected equipment.

Quality build, thoughtful design, and priced well.
APC is a trusted brand that I rely on for surge protectors, power strips, and UPS devices. Their products are well-built and reasonably priced. The angled plug design reduces interference with other electronics plugged into the same wall outlet, which is a considerate feature.This power strip includes 7 outlets, and they are well-spaced. The extra spacing for the last outlet is convenient for accommodating larger adapters. It also has four holes if you wish to mount the power strip on a wall, desk, or another surface, although I haven't personally used that feature.All the outlets securely hold the plugs. The only feature I wish it had is a sliding dust cover for unused outlets, but given the price, I am very satisfied.

Uno de los mejores productos que he comprado en Amazon.

INCREIBLE. Lo digo pocas veces, pero este producto es increíble, en todos los aspectos. Es bonito, minimalista, el color negro le da un toque de elegancia a mi habitación, y lo que más me gustó es que no hace ruido. Mi anterior power strip hacía mucho ruido cuando tenía conectado a varios aparatos y dispositivos electrónicos, con esta nueva se siente una gran diferencia. No se que tan cierta sea la garantía del fabricante con respecto a la protección de hasta $50,000 dólares de gastos por cubrir tus productos electrónicos, pero lo que si se es que está power strip es la mejor que he probado, y hasta ahora la mejor que he comprado para mi casa.Eduardo Alvarez BonfilUno de los mejores productos que he comprado en Amazon.

Un detalle que me gusta es que en el caso de comprar la versión con 7 contactos, tiene un espacio extra entre 1 y las otras 6, esto es muy conveniente cuando conectas un portátil y el cargador es gigante, como es el caso para algunos Mac.
Otro detalle que me gustó mucho y que comprueba que las características mencionadas en la descripción del producto son ciertas, es que en una ocasión hubo una tormenta eléctrica cerca de mi domicilio, y la luz se fue espontáneamente en muchas ocasiones, eso hubiera bastado para dañar algún aparato electrónico de mi habitación, cosa que por suerte no paso, porque este producto se encargo de cortar la variación de voltaje repentina ocasionada por la tormenta, logrando que mis aparatos electrónicos no sufrieran ningún daño. Eso sí, tuve que reconectar el power strip porque el led que indica el funcionamiento de la misma se encendió en rojo y no estaba pasando corriente a los aparatos electrónicos.

Excelente funcionamiento

Excelente regulador. Materiales muy resistentes y de gran calidad. Diseño muy bonito y funcional. Tiene suficiente espacio entre cada toma de corriente. Lo que me encantó es el largo del cable lo que permite colocarlo en diferentes lugares. Tiene orificios para ponerlo en la pared. Tengo 1 mes con él y hasta el momento todo perfecto. Sin duda volvería a comprarlo.LILIANA C.Excelente funcionamiento
