What is the appliance connection warranty? Does it cover your appliance ( smart phone, iPad) in case the surge is not protected by the device?

The Owner's Manual refers to the warranty as a "$100,000 5-year connected products limited warranty". The warranty is for "actual cash value", not "replacement cost value". The rest of the fine print appears to include the common definitions and limitations.

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.

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

Unfortunately, this unit is mounted behind a built-in refrigerator and is quite difficult to get to. I did extensive research on over a dozen heavy-duty surge protectors before buying this unit, and even if it is made in China, I could not find another unit that keeps your appliance working AFTER you have a power surge; all the others provide protection from the surge, but disconnected the power to the appliance as a result. That's why I put it on my refrigerator so I wouldn't come home from a 2-week vacation and find everything in the frig spoiled and rotten. Hope that helps...

I just came home today and saw that one of my Livewire devices burned out during a lightning storm. This is unacceptable! They tell you not to connect them to a surge protector, yet they don't protect it against surges! How very convenient, that way you have to buy more of the damned things from them.

Hi,If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector.Thanks,Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

I've actually haven't had any surge problems since i've bought this protector honestly. I've read where people have had a long or short delay in the surge, but i've never had any problems since.

The product description claims that the strip offers over-current protection, though I have not had any power surges that have tested the strip. I currently have it plugged into a surge protector and I am having no problems.

It doesn't. The claim works well for Belkin to sell what they call surge protectors. If you read through the comments you will see that 1) people's equipment is damaged when a surge goes through these surge protectors, and 2) Belkin denies damage claims from customers who had faith in the company.

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.

When switched off, no power gets to your appliance, so I cannot see how a power surge would effect the appliance. However, the Belkin switch may be *fried* after a power surge.

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 don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

The co said it was defective, I have a third one now, I'm afraid to take it out of the box.The first one stopped working after2 months, the second one I turned on once and it wouldn't shut off.I unplugged it but it never worked so they sent the 3rd one. They didn't ask me to send the others back, so I feel they don't know either. The only suggestion they came up with is "don't plug into a surge protector strip". I wish I could help, other than contact the company, not who you bought it from. Good luck

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection
