Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased five APC PE76W (white) and PE76 (black) 7-outlet surge protectors to replace old ones that I no longer trusted. (I have seen recommendations to replace them every year or two.) There is a lot I like about the PE76 and PE76W. The extended/offset plug at the end allows for a good-sized power brick (aka wall wart) to be plugged in without obstructing the other outlets. The flat, 90-degree plug allows the unit to be plugged in behind bookcases and tall drawers. The cord is long and appears to be high quality. The issue I have with these is that on all five of them, the ground light began to flicker or just go out completely. (I have uploaded a video showing what the issue is.) Some started doing this fairly quickly; others took a month or two to start having the issue. I have tested the circuit with a circuit tester (both in the wall and in the surge protector), and the circuit is fine. These units have a lifetime warranty, but I don't think getting a replacement would help nor do I think there is an issue worth pursuing. To be fair, I have had one other surge protector with flickering LEDs, and it was not an APC brand. That was a while ago, and most have not had the ground light start to flicker or go out, so I believe this is a manufacturing issue. Personally, I'm not worried about the ground, but I could see where it might worry others. ** Update on 10/11/2017 ** On the unit I happened to use in the video below, the protection LED is now intermittent as well. Since surge protectors don't "heal" themselves, it's obviously just an issue with the light and not the power protection. The thing is, I can't trust that to always be the case, so I threw it out and replaced it with Tripp Lite 10 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip Tel/Modem 8ft Cord 2395 Joules (TLP1008TEL). I liked the old one's smaller size, but what good is it if I can't rely on it?
