great surge protection option
on May 8, 2025
Posted by: Sara

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't love this surge protector strip because it seemed quite a bit larger than other ones I've used that also have eight outlets... but I was definitely wrong! First off I compared and this is only very slightly bigger than other similar surge protectors that I have. This surge protector specifically spaces out four of its eight outlets to deal with those pesky larger plugs that never quite fit in on those other power strips - which I have found to be incredibly helpful and is my favorite part of the whole thing. I love that the power cord is 6' long (perfect length for my needs) and that the button to turn it on/off is large and easy to press (but not so easy that it accidentally gets pushed). I also really like that there are indicators that display whether or not your electronics are actually protected. I think the only thing that could improve this fabulous device is the addition of a handful of places to plug in USB and USB-C cords (without requiring a power block); however it's still VERY useful and I really like it even without that - it would just take this from a 9/10 to a 10/10. Overall I am really loving it and especially how much room there is for larger power blocks. I love knowing my devices are protected with with this fabulous Staples surge protector!

Will continue to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I thought this was a well rounded power strip. More outlets wouldn’t hurt but the current number of outlets was sufficient and it’s able to accommodate various forms of plugs. I used it to power white noise machines gaming consoles network equipment TV tablets and phones. I appreciated the thinness of the power strip so that it can fit behind a wall mounted TV and hide the cables. The cable length of the power strip was plenty as well and I like that the plug is flat. I can see myself continuing to use this power strip and I would recommend it to others.

Excellent surge protector

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in Kansas so storms are something that happens all the time. We have to be protected. We used this protector in the living room for our TV and Xbox and the rest we used for miscellaneous charges for iPads phones etc and we still have outlets left! We had a couple storms where the power was knocked out and our stuff was saved! Thank the lord! So good!

Awesome surge protector

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a surge protector with great versatility this is the one for you! With a flat based plug in spaced out plug ins and a long cord you can fit everything you need on this surge protector. I was able to use it for a desktop computer iPhone charger desk lamp and any odds and ins without compromise! I would purchase again for other locations in the house!

Super convenient power strip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This isn’t your normal 2-4 outlet strip! We all know its always annoying when all the plug ins are full when you’re needing to charge your phone. But not with this outlet surge strip. It allows you to plug in 8 different appliances at one time and charges them all with its 4 500 joules. I’ve plugged in phones fans sound machines speakers and it’s charged them to 100% super fast. So it’s very convenient when you only have one or two outlets in a room and have many dead appliances. I would say the only downside is that it’s sorta bulky but If you’re looking for a great power strip I definitely recommend this one!

Tech 8 Outlet Surge Strip
on May 13, 2025

from Carbondale
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Tech 8-outlet power strip is a quality power strip for my use. So far I have used it to plug in a camera battery charger and to power a red light therapy pad. With both plugged in there was not any loss of power and it worked as expected. I do like how the power strip has spaces for large plugs. So many of the devices now have the large square plug which takes up additional space and makes it impossible to plug other things in beside it. The downside to this however is that there are not as many outlets to plug items into if you did not have the oversized plugs but that is not a deal breaker for me. The power strip is on the larger size so do not expect to put it in a smaller place or in a place that is narrow (which is the main reason I gave it 4 stars). It does have the screw holes on the back should you want to mount it on the wall. Overall I like the power strip and have no complaints!

Good protection but missing a few expectations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Tech 8-Outlet Surge Strip does what it’s supposed to—offers solid surge protection (4 500 joules is no joke) and it feels like a quality product overall. That said there are a few things that didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I used it for my computer setup—desktop dual monitors printer router phone charger etc.—and while it worked fine 8 outlets isn’t really enough for my needs. I’d honestly rather have more outlets squeezed in even if it means a few get partially blocked instead of leaving space that ends up going unused. Another thing is the 6-foot cord. That might be enough for a modern setup but in my old house with weirdly placed outlets I could really use a longer reach. I had to shift furniture around just to make it work. One big miss for me: no USB-A or USB-C ports. These days it feels like USB charging ports should be standard on a surge strip. I have to plug in separate adapters just to charge my phone and tablet which kind of defeats the point of having extra outlets. What I did like is the strong surge protection and the indicator lights that let me know things are properly grounded and protected. So it’s a dependable power strip but not quite modern or flexible enough for what I need.

Saving space
on May 7, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This power strip is exactly what I needed! I recently moved my couch over our most accessible outlet and needed something that would make it easier to plug in our phones and laptops without having to move the couch away from the wall. This is great! I was able to plug it in and scoot the couch back and run the power strip under the couch for our easy access. Thank you Stellar Panel for picking me to review this! It was perfect!
