the 8 outlet surge protector, what does it say about joules? They don't list it.

It's either 3,780 or 3,550 joule energy rating. Its one of the 2. I don't have the instructions in front of me.

You are reading the description wrong. It states it circuit breaker protected, not surge protected. Circuit protected is basically if it is wattage overloaded the circuit breaker pop and you will have to reset it once the overload is removed. This unit is not a surge protector. Depending on your level of surge protection needed and you want an inexpensive surge protector you should look at the GE 14707 on Amazon. It sells for $9.99 Prime. It has 104 joules of surge protection.

While I didn't see info. saying it wouldn't cover such appliances, these surge protectors are way too small for use with heavy draw appliances like ACs, refrigerators, space heaters, and big microwaves.

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

Yep, it's supposed to do. See the details pane: 2160 Joules of protection *7 surge-protected AC outlets

Surge protectors will generally always supply power out. However, protectors do age from years of managing surges, each surge effectively deducts from the life from protector measured in joules (more initial joules thus generally means longer life). Since there is no indication of how much joule capacity is left, you're left to make an educated guess. Thus I'd recommend replacing a protector every 2-3 years simply as cheap insurance.

The photo makes it look like it is a surge protector outlet. However the one I received from Amazon only contained a regular outlet. I ended up swapping it for a low voltage stereo connector plate, so I didn't really examine regular outlet closely.Hope this helps.

no, this is not a surge protector. It is used to completely cut power to any appliance is that it is plugged into. for instance, I use this on my toaster oven which stays plugged into the wall always, and always draws trickle electricity. with the Belkin switch I only need to turn it off when I'm not using it turn it back on when I want to use it, thereby saving energy.

If you notice on the description, they sort of "hide" the full details of most items, if you click the link just below it that says to view more, this surge protector claims to carry-through 1800W. I can't verify this since I have picked up my own, but maybe someone else who's purchased it can.

Hi Brad, this is a very simple type of protector; shuts off the power when ground faults are present. It offers offers 510 Joules of surge protection and will shut off the power at the pedestal when power is too high or low. Requires manual reset after a ground fault. I'm not sure if it will cut off power (you shouldn't be able to reset the protector) if the poles are improperly wired. I think it is a very inexpensive protection for 30 AMP service RVs. Tom

The device does not consume power hence joules are an inappropriate method of rating this device. There is no conversion since there is no time component. The specs on this are: 120VAC, 15amp, 1800watts. The technical specification sheet on this is available at: http://360electrical.com/our_products/surge_protector/4-outlet_rotating_surge_protector.pdf

Most of the answers are reviewing the older version. In 2014 the part was upgraded to provide 2.1A for charging. The surge rating was also moved up to 900 Joules.

Go to campingworld.com and they have the specs on many of the surge protectors.

Its a power strip and not a surge protector. But,traveling in Europe you discover electrical outlets are few and far between. This device allows multiple units to be charged from a single outlet, yet compact enough to throw in an overnight bag. Remember, its a power strip not an adapter or converter.

The higher the Joules rating for a surge protector, the better the protection for your electronic device. If you have an expensive flat screen TV, computer, etc., myself, I would have a device rated at 1000-1500 Joules or more, at minimum. The Leviton 15 Amp outlet is rated at 720 Joules and I believe the same for the 20 Amp outlet. For the higher rated surge protectors, you would have to use a power strip. So, I would say Chuck is correct. But, the Leviton surge outlets are better than a standard outlet that provide no protection!!

I assume you can, although I have not tried it. It is a low end surge protector so I'm not sure if this will give you the joules you need.
