Is thus the new model that includes a surge protector

Yes it is, at least that's what it says on the box ! It doesn't have a surge protector light on it, like most surge protectors, But if it wasn't built in to it, I'm sure, they would advertise it as a surge protector ! But it is a really cool unit, with 2 usb moutlets, 2 1 amp, & 2 2.1 amp for faster charging, very cool !

It does not give any kind of rating for protection, it just states: built-in fuse; over-load / short circuit / surge protection

Yes, the two I ordered were the updated models....HOWEVER, one of mine blew when I plugged in my low volt table lamp, and smoke rolled out of the wall unit.The unit takes the place of your wall plate on the outlet and screws into existing outlet. They are surge protected since when the one side outlet blew, it did not trip the breaker on this circuit. But I did have quite a wall burn above the outlet to sand, clean and re paint the wall. The 2nd one is working fine....and I put a smoke alarm on the ceiling just above the outlet in case this one fails when I gone or asleep. these are not ul listed.

Yes, it has a surge protector, but I don't know if it's a new or old model.

Also, you do not have to remove your wallplate. It plugs right into the wallplate just fine.

The one I got claimed to have a surge suppressor, but the USB ports were DOA, so I didn't investigate carefully.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

The plug will fit into the surge protector. That's the only thing that matters to make it work.

No I do not but I do keep it plugged into a surge protector. So far, so good.

No; this surge protector with timer is digital and totally silent. I absolutely love mine. The timer has many settings and features.

Yes, there is a power cord that I plug into the same surge protector that my TV is plugged into.

No, it comes with a regular outlet. The picture shows one with a led, but mines came without any led / led / light. I had to buy the surge protector separate. If that what you want, I recommend to buy a very similar model in Home Depot for $15 that comes without the outlet and you can choose the outlet of your preference!

All the other answers I believe are the best answers you can get. I think All surge protectors are one and done after a major surge. I would check manufacturers specs.

No, the UPS provides surge protection as well as emergency power to the equipment attached to it.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

Hi, On the Belkin site http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9H100-CW/ it says "The one-outlet Home Series SurgeCube from Belkin offers wall-mount-direct, plug-in surge protection for your general electronics, home appliances, and more." I would assume that "home appliances" includes refrigerators, microwave, etc.

The older model only had 1 AC outlet and 2 USB ports, but this item has since been upgraded to include 2 AC outlets and 2 USB ports

No,It is as the name says "Surge Protector" & It Does a Great Job doing that!

No, I use it plugged into a regular double 3-prong wall outlet which also has the surge protector for my desktop computer, printer, modem and wi-fi plugged into the other half.

No, it does not. You would have to purchase a surge protected outlet to install instead of the standard outlet provided. The picture of the product is deceiving.

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

Yes, you can plug it into a surge protector, and the timer will be protected from electrical spikes.
