I am not looking to start a which product is better argument, but the surge protectors from Belkin merit a second look. They take care of very nicely a common NYC apartment problem ... not enough separate lines, let alone separate wall sockets. All too often, a one bedroom apartment will only have 2 or at most 3 separate lines and the lines for the kitchen and living room are one and the same. This is very common in the boroughs and older pre-war buildings.
In my case, I had the stereo on and my wife turned on the clothes steamer and the line would get noisy and at times dropped. Who knew the second bedroom and kitchen were on the same line? The Belkins, specifically the ones with the on board resistors wired at the on/off switch, really did the trick. Additionally, they are quiet as well.
I agree to avoid the "Brand X" surge protectors, but the gold series Belkins are in a different league.
