How to choose a surge protector at a price/quality ratio?

Buying a surge protector, study the main criteria:

1. Wire length. To organize the workplace use models with a wire length of one to two meters. To connect household appliances and for other purposes often choose filters with a larger wire length.
2. Number of outlets. From three to ten outlets, depending on the needs of the user. It is good when there is additional equipment in the form of USB-connectors.
3. The protection system. For safety and reliability, it is better that the filter has protection against overload, short-circuits, lightning discharges, power surges and interference.
4. Power. This figure should not be less than the total power consumption of the connected devices. It is better to take filters with a small margin of load.
5. Indication. Most models have an off button with a light indicator that lets you know if the light filter is currently active. Additionally, other indications can be used to signal operational errors.

	Owner's Review.
	Pleasant to the touch, plugs plugged in with acceptable resistance, everything works, usb gadgets charge. I have never heard any noise from the usb like I have heard in other comments. I guess I should be at the price of 2,4k. Also blame the on/off button, but I have not had any complaints yet. Yes, a little tight and clicks with a click, but no fear that it will break. rather, this may be psychologically, as it is not a large size. In the future I plan to buy a second one, but without usb. Generally, I have nothing to compare it with, since the previous filters were priced under 500 rubles.

And the last model in our rating is this version of the surge protector, equipped with five outlets, two USB ports and a thick wire length of 1.8 meters.

The device can withstand the simultaneous connection of several household or office devices, whose power consumption will not exceed 2.3 W.

Note that the case is made of durable white plastic and has a convenient form factor, including for placing on the wall.

There is a power button and activity indication as well as an overload indication.
