This product offers the needed items for home theater protection - surge protection of your power supplies, coax inputs, and phone/network and line noise filters for the power input and plug to plug isolation. The price is far less than the Monster equivilent, but do not let that fool you into thinking it is an inferior product. I trust Tripp Lite and if you buy and use Tripp Lite products, you will too. (One review pointed out how the Ground Fault light is red when nothing is wrong, I agree with the reviewer, Tripp Lite should have made the light green.)

Great quality product. I purchased this for my living room but decided to buy the HTPOWER10 for that setup instead. I moved this to my bedroom setup. Great for tight spaces.

I like this product. I have used the same one with my plasma tv/home theater set-up for a couple of years. This product has lots of capacity and all of the bells and whistles. You can also find it pretty well discounted on the Internet. I think it is a good product and now I have one installed on my second home theater system.

Can't say much about a product like this until lightning strikes, but it does appear to be well-constructed; has a solid, quality feel in a metal case. Phone and coax outlets are well-placed for my application, but I might prefer the power cord exit in a different location, perhaps out of the bottom of the case (long side), since I have both of my units wall mounted. I did a few hours of research before I settled on this one. Tripp-Lite seems to have the best overall price/quality ratings from users on other forums. Most others, with the possible exception of Belkin (which are not quite as asthetically pleasing) do not have the joule ratings of Tripp-Lite. Then there's Monster....totally overpriced for the protection you get.

Now I have not had any lightning strikes to test this out but I like its feature set and its price which is so much less than over priced monster. There is no "line conditioner" but my picture is crystal clear before and after I hooked up the Tripp. Also, my DirecTV installer (who was lame) said that no surge protector works with the satellite and not to bother. Well I did bother and the channels change fine without a "surge break." The tech guy for DirecTV said it is hit or miss and after changing all the channels without difficulty this one is a hit.
