I looked EVERYWHERE for a surge protector to meet my needs and found none that had every feature necessary for what I was using it for. I had been looking on Overstock for something else and thought, why not look, maybe they will have something. I was surprised to find not only one, but a couple that fit my needs so was able to choose instead of settling. I really wanted it right away, so was hoping to find it in a store, but Overstock was so quick with their ship that I didn't have to wait long. So far so good....I haven't had any problems at all and really like the surge protector. It is well made and has a strong, thick cord that is a nice long length, a flat plug which was a necessity for me, and it has 8 outlets with child protection on them....I have a feeling it well be put to good use for years to come.
