Does this device offer sure protection? Can it be attached to a surge protector? Any problems using a powerstrip with it (for electronics)?

I run 3 power strips off this beast. And boy does it work. Power was so unstable at my apartment my computer would crash daily. Now it never crashes.

No problem as long as the power supply is rated same as the surge protector. 120v in and 120 volt out.

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.

I've never used a Belkin surge protector before, but I would definitely recommend the HP. I've had one for a while now, with 8 different items plugged into it, and have had no problems.

The instructions say to plug in to an outlet only, no extention cords or other devices. I know it will not work with an extention cord because I tried it. Outlets are protected by a circuit breaker. I would not use a surge protector.

I would recommend against doing so. Any type of power strip - with or without a surge protector - is usually used for smaller electronic loads. Larger high-powered loads such as heaters draw a lot more current on a continuous basis. They can overheat or overload many power strips or surge protectors unless the surge protector, strip and cord are all rated for heavy duty use. This unit also would not benefit from surge protection the way that sensitive electronics would.

I have used it with no problem on a power strip with several things plugged in to it and it has worked well.

It is not recommended but I do it and it works fine. Yes, the one directly plugged to the wall shows as being faster than the others (in TP-Link's software) but in real life, I cannot tell the difference. (In total, I have four units).To be more accurate, mine is not a surge protector but a power extension cord with three plugs.

Yes. Its basically a plug with a on/off switch on the side. You could plug a surge protector into it but why not flip the surge protector switch off? According to the box its rated for 120v / 15A /60Hz /1800w so you just don't want to exceed that.

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.

The product website states it's not a surge protector http://www.monsterproducts.com/Outlets_To_Go_Power_Strip_4_Outlets#productDetailsTabs2

Yes this protector will support your system. I have even higher level of power consuming electronics connected to this surge protector for the past two years and I have had no problems at all.

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.

Yes, the surge protector will still work (although double check the surge protector's warranty coverage to be sure that you don't void it by using one, if that's an issue). The only potential issue is that if you plug too many things into a single socket you may trip a circuit breaker if you are attempting to draw too much power.

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

Also looking for this. Starting to wonder if it's not a true surge protector, and just has a simple fuse like most power strips.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.
