Advantages: Eight outlets, Lifetime warranty, Protects phone/TV too
Disadvantages: None

...I started looking for a surge protector for two reasons – firstly I had just read a very worrying article in a magazine and secondly my new PC warranty said that it was only valid if “the system is protected against electrical interference and spikes”. So – what is a surge protector and why is it so important? Although it has never happened to me, power surges can cause serious damage to your PC, or any sensitive electrical equipment that is connected to the mains. They are caused by a sudden increase in supply, or by thunder storms and lightning strikes. It’s not just the mains supply that is at risk from this sort of thing either – phone lines and TV cables (should your PC have a TV card installed) can all carry the dangerously high voltages/currents that can potentially ruin your PC and its components. Surge protectors also... Read review

Disadvantages: No RJ11 Surge Surpression

...Features ------------- 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 is being provided to the bar and whether items connected are being protected. Beside these LEDs there is a master switch which disables the SurgeMaster without turning off at the socket. This can be particularly useful when the power outlet is out of reach. The product also features technology which completely silences the protection mechanisms by reducing the volume... Read review

Disadvantages: None (I hope)

...Have you ever been sitting there, comfortably surfing away on the Internet? Or been engrossed in playing your favourite game on your computer, only for a flash of lightning to flash across your window? If so, what’s the first thought that comes to mind? Well, mine is, or should I say was, “Crap, I better turn my computer off, I don’t want the bloody thing getting destroyed by a surge caused by the lightning”. So why did I say WAS, well I don’t need to worry anymore, as I have recently purchased a “Belkin under Monitor Surge Protector” (Model number F5C100u4-A), meaning I don’t have to worry about those dreaded Lightning strikes or even a more common Power surge. So what exactly is a Belkin under Monitor Surge Protector? Well, its actually a piece of equipment you can buy... Read review

Advantages: Effects are obvious
Disadvantages: Could be expensive for some

...Afer recommendation from a work colleague, l thought l would treat myself and bought moisture surge. Now the product is not cheap costing approximately £22 pounds for a small pot, but a little goes a long way. I could not believe the difference to my skin - as soft as a babys bottom!! You can use the product in 2 forms - as a night cream or by applying a thicker coat to your face and leaving it for about 15 minutes it acts as a moisture intensive treatment to your skin. General l use it as a night cream but if l feel my skin is looking a bit dried out l will follow the intensive treatment. So if you have been unsure whether you want to spend the cash, or wish to treat yourself - moisture surge is value for money.... Read review

Advantages: Makes hair smoother, smells nice, protects!
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit on the expensive side - but worth it!

...When I bought my ghd hair straighteners I thought I would splash out and buy some of the hair products to match. One of the products I bought was 'Ghd Thermal Protector for Normal-Fine Hair'. Since I use my hair straighteners pretty much everyday, I think its important to use some kind of product in order to try to protect my hair from the heat of the straighteners since it can be really damaging to hair over time. I was not disappointed with this product in the slightest and am really glad I bought it. This specific product claims to protect hair from heat from straighteners and hair appliances for temperatures up to 200'c, and it also protects hair from becoming weak. The bottle is plastic and comes in a metallic bronze/gold colour . The bottle is triangular in shape. On the front of the bottle there is a mosaic type design... Read review

Advantages: Protects your PC from power surges and your data from brief interruptions
Disadvantages: Rather heavy and bulky

...If you are anything like me and live an area where your power supply sometimes get interrupted you will know the frustration of losing a document on your PC through no fault of your own. I live in a rural area so power cuts are something I have grown used to, but wherever you live it can happen and it is really annoying to find you have lost something you were working on. The Belkin SurgeMaster Superior Series Emergency Battery Backup has a very long name but what it does is actually very straightforward indeed. It has two banks of three sockets set along the top of what looks like a standard surge protector strip. On one side that is exactly what you get - three surge protector sockets. On the other side are three sockets which provide a limited amount of battery back up to the sockets. These will give you just enough time... Read review
