Leviton 15 Amp, 125 Volt, Decora Plus Duplex Surge Suppressor Receptacle, Straight Blade, Industrial Grade, 5280-W, White

Great item must know electricity not for dummies with that said very easy to install easy install perfect fit .... hopefully it saves my electronics if we get a surge

It's connected and on. I won't know if it doesn't work until I get a surge that fries my HVAC ; ). For now, it's on an, I assume protecting against a surge.

This surge supressing outlet is a great idea. It allowed me to install my television on the wall without mounting additional items (namely a surge suprresor), keeping the installation very tight to the wall. It went in easily using a recessed outlet box and gives me a great deal of confidence my electronic components will be safe from damage. The outlet is even designed to be installed with the ground facing up for safety. Nicely done. The four stars comes from the value proposition of this device. I think $31 (as of Jun 2011) is a lot to pay for what is basically a 2-outlet surge supressor. I understand there are issues of economy of scale here (probably not too many takers on this item) but still feel that this is a high price to pay. However, it does its job.

I've installed a number of these in my house to protect all our electronics. They are no more difficult to install than a regular outlet and prevents us from having extra cords from typical surge suppressors.

Your TV needs a surge protector plain and simple. Without one you are taking a risk. If you mounted your TV on the wall and plugged it directly into a outlet then you are not protected from surges. It is very easy to swap out an existing outlet but the true purpose and proper use of this outlet is to have an electrician install it directly behind your wall mounted TV so that you do not see the cord. Technically by law you can not run your normal power cord through the wall to hide it so it either has to drop down along the wall and get plugged in below or you need to have an electrician install an outlet behind it. As far as quality goes this is NOT the best out there. BUT it is the best when you figure value/quality and ease of install. Some of the others are not an outlet they are just the surge protector and need to be installed with an outlet in a double box. Some are too deep to install easily. The price on Amazon isn't the best... in fact you might be able to get this for less at your local hardware store but with no taxes and free shipping and since time is money it might make sense to pay a small amount more and have it shipped to your door.

Works great...as expected!

I purchased this for an outlet behind a dresser on the only wall in a bedroom convenient for a flat screen TV. It would have been more cumbersome and unsightly to use a power surge strip. And, using a plug-in, single or multiple surge protector would have extended the dresser away from the wall further, plus adding additional distance when the TV and satellite receiver was plugged into that. The surge protection is rated at 720 Joules (from Leviton's website) and is not stated on the box or in the enclosed product use instructions. It's surge protection usefulness is stated as 10 years, OR, as long as the green light on the face of the outlet is ON. If the green light is no longer visible, there is no surge protection. However, power to the outlet is still on but should be replaced to guarantee surge protection. On my installation, I can see the green light from the side of the dresser, for more difficult areas to see, there is an outlet with an audible alarm, but twice the cost. The 15 Amp model for use with 14 gauge wire, can be stripped to push into the connections on the back, and it can be wired to power downline outlets in the circuit. There's also a Tamper Proof model that has the letter "T" in front of the model number if small children become curious, like to the green light.

Great quality as expected. Have installed these at every TV, PC, microwave, refrigerator, etc in my home and looking forward to purchasing more as needs arise.

This outlet is perfect - I have added a lot of surge suppression to our house and this one especially is good for our fridge, installed in the wall like a regular outlet , no need to have an external suppressor plugged into a regular outlet thereby losing a few inches of space to actually move the appliance all the way back into its place in the kitchen

Justo lo que requería para mi taller vale lo que cuesta volvería a comprar más de esta marca es garantia

If this is something you are looking for then I think you will be happy.Do some research first.

Très belle finition éclatant comme ma prise la seule chose que j'ai a dire c'est que j'aurais aimer qu'elle soit plus rigide et qu'elle soit appliquée entre le mur et la prise ça éliminerais les ajustements de profondeur de la prise avec la plaque.merci

I’ve had my fridge and my washing machine both fried due to power surges. I’ve replaced the plugs for both units with these surge protectors. They do stick out a tiny bit from the wall but it’s no problem for my applications.
