Works well

Got two of these to protect 3D TV and NAS box from any potential surges from lightening etc. Can't comment if hiw well it works, as not had a bad enough stir since buying. But got it for peace of mind as I have lost a telephone, router and an ethernet switch through a thunderstorm. My TV is 3D and therefore irreplaceable! So recommended for those devices you cannot replace.

It looks like a plug, and it passes electricity through perfectly. What does it do? Well it says it is protecting my equipment against surges. I can't verify this, I just have to trust it. So really this is the reason why I went with APC because they are a big brand and have a lot of trust in the industry. However, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this is all a ruse. I look forward to the future TV and radio adverts asking me "Were you the victim of surge protection plug mis-selling?". Until that time I just hope that this thing is doing the job I expected. If I do have a surge I am not sure how I'll ever tell.

We had a mains surge/spike problem that occurred up to four times an hour that temporarily blanked out the tv screen for just a few seconds, but just long enough to ruin the watching of a tv programme or film, amazingly it seemed to co-incidentally occur just as the storyline reached a climax, it became a joke. We had various electricians check it out, but they concluded that the problem was either power supply switching by the company, a neighbouring property switching on and off domestic devices or even light switches or our own central heating system, so in the end I did the usual research and found that APC produced a good range of mains suppression, filtering or conditioning products of which the APC Surge Arrest Essential -PM1W-UK is their most basic entry level model, however I plugged it in, restarted the tv and it has worked perfectly for almost a week. No interruptions, no apparent spiking and I might add the tv picture and sound seems slightly improved, although that last part might just be wishful thinking, anyway I'd happily recommend this product as a perfect solution to the problems detailed above and well worth trying.

For protecting some more sensitive electronics and appliances, but would never know its performance unless there's a surge. Cheaper option than UPS though.
