Verified Purchase:Yes
Priced kinda high, though i got a great deal with price match from competitor who had it $100 off. I wanted the the extra outlets which this one had for potential add ons in the future, plus an extra outlet up front which could turn out to be useful in the future. Bought for surge protection, automatically shutting down components when voltage is low or highand, it has a voltage display with blue accent lights.
Has high current outlets which I don't really need but have. Have my receiver plugged into this one, along with Xbox36/, Blu-ray, cable box, subwoofer power supply, ABUS power supply, and Samsung 64" smart TV. One of the front knobs came off when my cable box which I sat on top of the Panamax slid off as I had my head stuck in the entertainment center hooking stuff up. Guess it caught the front knob and it popped.off. Wasn't even a hard hit. Anyway seemed cheap but it popped back on fine. Seeing how I will rarely be messing with stuff inside entertainment center, I doubt it will be any issue. Also those knobs have small yellow colored lights that are dimmable for ambient lighting I suppose.
Just got it hooked up last night so have not experienced a power surge or loss of power, though I am confident it will do its job. Really like the voltage display. Blue accent lights. Doesn't weigh much. Has. an 8' power cord which is heavy gauge with a low profile plug. Be aware, I lost one plug due to using the low.profile plug from my TV which when plugged in covered one of the plugins because it wasn't the typical vertical or straight plugs (more of an offset plug). Not sure what to call it. Just something to think about.
Anyway, worth the money I spent and should outlast any surge protector. Don't waste your money on those or get fooled into the $500k replacement value of connected.items offered on surge protectors. Was disappointed in Best Buy when asking about power surges and was pretty much steered in the direction of Monster which was the most expensive, which I did buy. Did not open, and returned for Panamax when I learned they carried them. Of course if you don't have the money then buy the less expensive panamax or other power conditioner...do your own research before investing and find what will work for you. I buy what I can afford, for the future, for quality, efficiency, and have features.that I need, want, and will use..this is a good intermediate product if you hook up a little more.than just a TV and DVD. Player. Run my CAT6 through it and it seems to have a fast connection but haven't clocked it. Anyway, I woukd recommend but get it on sale if you can!
