Panamax - 8-Outlet Surge Protector - Black

I'm glad we got this surge protector...we had a smaller plug in protector with our previous tv, had a surge and the tv is now toast. I like that there is just one cord going to the plug now, and there is an actual breaker in the unit. Plus, it fits in our vintage italian 80's tv stand perfectly...was a bit concerned about that! All over a good buy, especially since we got it half-off.

It's slim and helps organize all the plugs as well as protecting all your devices. What I do not like about it is the power indicator light it way too bright and it's always on. If you like to watch TV in the dark it can be very distracting.

I won’t ever connect a pricier setup without one of these higher end surge protection units. In the past, I’ve lost TVs to power surges ( and cheap surge protectors don’t give full protection. Price for this unit was perfect.

This surge protector was easy to install and takes up minimal space. The flat plug allows furniture to fit close to the wall without interfering with the plug. It is sized so that it fits in a stack with the Blu Ray player or other components and quietly does its job in the background. I have not experienced a surge or power failure since its install, but I feel confident that both the power and cable lines will be protected. The only caution that I have is that some larger power cords (power packs) may actually cover two outlets, so you may not get o use all 8 on this device without some creative engineering.

Excellent product, been using Panamax for a long time

Thank you again to our 'Tech Guru' Zach Anderson at our local Wetmore Rd., Tucson, Arizona BEST BUY store for recommending this PANAMAX 8-Outlet Surge Protector (black), Model #MR4000. We were unsure as to whether or not we needed to purchase a new surge protector for our new LG 86" NANO CELL TV, rather than just re-purposing the one from our old TV. But as always for us non-tech people, Zach's expertise and wisdom won us over once again. We are now experiencing the monsoon storms here in the desert southwest, including spectacular lightening and torrential rain, and when it is common to lose power. We no longer have to worry about 'frying' our new electronics, and can just enjoy Mother Nature's annual show!

I guess you don't know if it's working or not until disaster strikes-then it too late if it does not work. Easy to set up and install. Looks nice-I have it on a shelf above other components and route the cords up each side. If you invest in quality equipment, it only makes sense to protect it

Did I really NEED this, probably not. The power delivery in most countries provide stable electricity, and most power supplies in devices can handle the minor fluctuations that do occur. On the other hand, my computer equipment holds a lifetime of memories, my sound system is a decent investment, and I really like taking care of the gear I have. Panamax/Furman is a trusted name in power protection, and the MR-4000 had the slim profile I needed for my computer desk. The 8 outlets were more than enough for my desktop audio and other peripherals that didn't need a UPS, but I also use small APC UPS for my computer and internet devices. The only con I can think of is that the Power On light in the front of the unit is very bright and can be distracting. But extremely minor, and can be remedied or ignored. Conclusion: Slim profile. Solid build. Great value when you don't need UPS or other advanced features, but just want trusted power protection.
