No problems with it so far. Holds plugs tightly so you'll have to push a little. Is a good item if all of the plugs you are using stand upright and are standard sized. I got it to sit against a wall for sideways plugs.
I've replaced it with a surge/power strip made for computers (3000 joules protection) that was half the price of the Audio/Video Monster version (1400 joules protection). That's not very "Monster". The thing just burned out.
All devices plugged into it went off. No damage to any devices but I don't even thing there was a power surge. After a few weeks the thing just fried.
The lights (plugged in elsewhere) did not flicker. Monster is overpriced and inferior. The rest button did nothing.
Exactly the same as what Douglas Schifter wrote in a previous review.
It might be a bit much, but it's not that hard to get in. It looks a bit fruity, but it works really well. I don't know what some of you are talking about when you say that this is an inferior product. Someone said they had to put their full weight into it to get plugged in, they must be a wimp since a small guy like me was able to easily push it in with a little force. Plus the long cable is nice to have since none of my outlets are near my computer desk. Monster is a really good, quality brand. The outlets are tight, so you don't have to worry about your cords coming out and losing power.
But, hey all things wear out, but the Monster reputation takes a hit with this one. After a year, the unit started shutting off, the least little touch of the rocker switch would bring it back to life for a short time. Monster said they would replace it--$4.75 to ship back and would have to buy an interim unit.
To those who gave this product anything other than a 1 star you must not have purchased the same product because unless you want to damage the plugs on your good audio/video equipment this strip is a piece of expletive-deleted.I was initially attracted by the brightly color-coded outlets which match my living room decor but after trying it out and finding not one well-fitted outlet, I consider myself out of $13.00 cuz you can't repackage this piece of expletive-deleted and send it back. That's what this so-called power strip is. Monster ought to be ashamed of themselves for selling such a piece of expletive-deleted. I got a better deal from a 99cent store. Like others have mentioned, I could not fit ONE plug of any of my electronic equipment into the outlets. Not one.
