Very good surge protector for the money
on December 28, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
Specifications for this unit are quite good for what the unit cost. The eight outlets are spaced so that a brick power supply may be plugged into six of them with no problems, which is something that many surge protectors do not allow. (Even though the specs say four, six may be plugged in, depending on the size.)
The power/reset switch is located on the end of the unit next to where the ac cord goes into it, but it's not really a problem.
The LED's are, thankfully (!), green and NOT blue! The blue LED's are too bright.

What's great about it: Outlets are spaced far enough apart for six brick power supplies to be plugged in.
What's not so great: I wish the switch was on the top rather than the end.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Why is there no connected equipment warranty?

Why does this surge protector not come with a connected equipment limited warranty value like other similar products?
I"d have to make a guess but I'd say it's not provided to keep the cost down. This is Dynex and sold by Best Buy. They usually sell extra coverage for most of their devices. The unit also only comes with a 90-day warranty. It is made in China, BTW.
I've only known of one person that tried to use connected-equipment coverage and he was successful. I suspect that very few people use this provided service as most home-owners insurance will cover equipment lost to electrical surges (read your insurance policy to be certain!).

Is there an on off switch?

Is there an on-off switch?
When switch is off, does it consume energy?
Yes, it does have a power/reset switch. It's located on the end of the unit next to where the AC cord goes into the housing.

Unknown (for certain) if the unit consumes energy when it's switched off but I'd assume so. The unit is NOT Energy Star rated.
