Stopped a lighting strike through the phone line.:
I bought one of these to protect my mom's computer. Her house got struck by lighting and it went through the phone line and this stopped any damage from happening to her computer. The power strip was toast, so I bought her another one just like it.
Expensive power strip, but you get what you pay for!:
I was happy to be able to pick this up on Amazon for half the price that Monster charges if you buy it from them directly! It's solved the problems I was having with my laptop freezing almost every time I plugged it back into the wall. My cheap Belkin power strip wasn't preventing the power spikes that this area is known for. It looks like something straight out of the 1980s, but it works!
Doesn't do anything for me:
I bought one of these because I had a strange popping sound coming for my speakers every time somebody turned a light switch on or off in my house. I was told it was due to dirty power, so when I saw this thing I bought it right away. It doesn't do anything to solve my problem. The speakers are still popping, and when I measured the voltage through this device, it wasn't any more stable than without it. As far as I can tell, it did absolutely nothing. Its a pretty expensive power strip if the features don't... more info
Massive Surge:
I had a Monster MP PC700 protecting my PC, monitor, printer and DSL modem. On the 30th of January 2008 suffered a massive surge, three surges in 2 seconds. The above surge protector saved my equipment! Also, it did not catch fire or explode. My Power Sentry 322 and every other protector in my house did pop loudly and/or shoot fire! I kissed the the Monster when I was able to restart my PC! Now buying this 800 and several other Monster Cable products. I'm sold for LIFE!
