Power strips- too many choices

Remember, power strips are just power distributors, they multiply the number of receptacles. A lot of strips do a little bit more, but at that point they are really low-end conditioners. Surge protectors do what their name implies. Then there are balanced transformers. You need to read the fine print carefully to find out exactly what's in the box (and even then, you might not really know). Most units combine two, three or four of these functions. |
