Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

**SEE EDIT BELOW*** - and uploaded a pic of first and second purchse - READ CAPTION FOR DETAILS! I bought this surge protector for a treadmill. According to the treadmill's manual, it recommends a single plug surge protector with lights to show that it is protected, and this fit the bill! In practice: I think we all know that crazy storms have been sweeping the Midwest lately (May 2011)! Well, I'm in Missouri (not Joplin). The storms lately have played havoc with our electrical systems, but this handy little device has done its job perfectly! The treadmill runs perfectly still and I have faith that it will continue to! Previous concerns: Before buying this product, I was worried that the lights and shape might interfere with the second plug in the outlet. DO NOT WORRY! It fits perfectly with room to spare. My other plug (top one) is fully accessible. FYI: The Grounded light is red and the Protected light is green, at least on mine. I would tend to associate red with something BAD, but knowing what it means on this is all I really need. Just something I noticed. **EDIT** I ordered another one of these, and it was NOT what I wanted. I used the product link from my history, and even found this review I had written to be sure. The new one was larger and DID block the other outlet. I don't know if I was just lucky once, or which design is older, but this new one is darker gray, and big enough to be a pain. I had to switch some things around to plug it all in. First purchase was 5 stars, second one is 3 stars. It works, but it is in the way! This new one is the only thing in my outlet. I am NOT satisfied with it, but the price of the item means it's not worth my trouble to return. Boo (hiss).
