Belkin Surgemaster Maximum Series - 8 Socket

Advantages: Heavy load acceptance, High warranty limit
Disadvantages: None really

This Belkin Surgemaster Maximum Series Surge protected trailing socket is ideal for medium to advanced pc system setups for both the home and office. There are eight sockets and the product has a master on/off switch with an LED so you know whether current is flowing or not. The surgemaster can take a fairly heavy load even with all eight sockets used up and devices running 24 hurs a day. The cable leading to the main wall plug is thick and durable, ...
...The colour is a bit dark, but if you're placing it to the side of or behind your desk it shouldn't really matter. The surgemaster hasa good weight, and won't easily be knocked aside. The product also has a stunningly high £175,000 warranty on it for any damage caused to computer or other electrical equipment as a result of product failure, which is a handy re-assurance to have. The device works well technically, supressing power surges of varying ...

Affordable Quality Surge Protection (Revised)

Advantages: Vast range of forms of protection!, Many cables includes!, Financial Damage Protection"
Disadvantages: No RJ11 Surge Surpression

...The features included with the Belkin SurgeMaster, especially the Gold Series, is endless. These features include an unlimited equipment and data recovery warranty. The product also features a 360 degree plug which allows you to get big “brick” transformers to fit on the bar without touching the other items plugged in. The protector also has connections for Ethernet, co-axial (a/v) connections, and standard television. Two LEDs indicate whether power ...
...functionality, which is expected from Belkin products which for years have been considered superior in this field of products. Construction ------------------ The Belkin SurgeMaster has been constructed extremely well. On purchase I examined the product scrupulously and the only minor thing I noticed was that on the Ethernet input there was a tiny slither of plastic which could simply be pulled off. Apart from that extremely minor fault with my ...

Review of Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series - surge suppressor

Duracell? Dura-buy!

Advantages: High quality, last a good long time... and look quite nice too!
Disadvantages: A little bit more expensive than some brands

I tend to choose Duracell batteries when I'm looking for AA alkalines, simply because they give me peace of mind: they're reliable, they do the job and they last a good long time. These days I generally buy Duracell Plus, and when the four-packs are available at a good price - I've occasionally seen them for as low as £2, though that's not at all common, and £3-4 is more likely - I will usually snap them up pretty fast. ... It's only fair to first ...
...use NiMH rechargeables - thankfully Duracell make those as well! ... However, for those items that are slightly less hard on power, it's hard to beat the Duracell Plus batteries. I use them all the time in my MP3 player, and am very satisfied with their endurance. I also use them in clocks, TV remote controls, my weather station, calculators and radios, so as you can see I've invested quite heavily in the things over the years. Unless they suddenly ...

Review of Duracell Plus MN1500 Alkaline

Super Sony charger

Advantages: Fast Charge, Auto CutOff
Disadvantages: Only takes AA/AAA

...looking around I found the Sony High Capacity Super Quick Charger For AA And AAA Batteries and for £16.99 with four AA batteries included it seemed like a good deal, almost all of our electrical items seem to be Sony so with it being a brand we trusted I bought it. The charger itself is fairly compact measuring 4" x 2½" x 1" (not including the power lead) it won't take up a lot of room, the power lead is also removable so you can store it away quite ...
...other Sony leads we have so if it gets misplaced we can use another one if needs be, although we tend not to take the lead off of it so this shouldn't be a problem. One of the reasons I was attracted to this charger was that the charge time for completely flat batteries is just 4½ hours. I remember when my parents first bought a battery charger years ago and it used to take what felt like forever to charge the batteries, not what you need when you've ...

Review of Sony Super Quick Charger BCG34HE4 - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

Brilliant batteries with long length life

Advantages: good value, long lasting, reliable
Disadvantages: they're not rechargable

...time. I have to say Duracell AA MX1500 batteries are perfect for the job. With most normal cheap batteries I would be able to take around one or two pictures before the camera switched itself off due to lack of power. But with this I can have at least 3-4 hours of constant picture taking. With a lot of special deals on these batteries you can normally buy 2 for 1 or get an extra 4 in the pack and you're still only paying around £2.99-£3.49. They ...
