This is almost real.

Now that I know this, uh, I might be about to buy one.

I own one. They’re fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can’t plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.

Most of the stuff I’m plugging in is a few watts.

Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W

With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D

We have 220V here too, just not a lot of receptacles or options on power strips :)

I have a 220v 50A in my garage, clothes dryer and Oven.

Your electric kettles boil so fast. I am quite envious.

Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.

What about a desktop, two laptops, speakers, a printer, four monitors, and some networking equipment? Asking for… Myself. I’m asking for myself.

The box says 15 amps. I think 15 might be pushing it at a bit.

Just start adding up all the input amps and see what it comes to. If it’s not Enterprise Network gere and a laser printer you have a solid chance.

I’d do some research if I were you. I don’t like plugging anything into a surge protector without a solid warranty that covers equipment damage and I’ve never heard of SUPERDANNY…

I don’t consider anything like this a “surge protector,” just a power strip.

Any equipment I actually give a rat’s ass about in that respect is connected to a UPS anyhow.

Not worth the risk IMO but to each their own. I had a cheap surge strip melt so I’m particularly paranoid (thankfully I was at my desk when it happened)

I’ve actually heard of SUPERDANNY before. I’ve seen their products for sale on Newegg before.

I don’t know… Tripp Lite (no affiliation) surge strips insure equipment you plug into them. For life…

Yeah, they all say that. And then when you try to claim it they have a million clauses in their fine print that allows them to weasel out of it.

Did you register to your equipment with them when you plugged it in? Do you still have your receipts? Did you use an extension cord anywhere in your power path at all? Did you know they only provide “current pro rata market value” for everything, which means their math makes all your computers worthless after they’re a week old? Can you prove it was actually a power surge and not some other occurrence that took out your device? Etc., etc., etc.

Never trust your equipment to one of those guarantees.
