What's the difference between this surge protector and the similar Quirky PPVPP-BK01, also sold by Amazon? Do they both have surge protectors?

Quirky PPVPP-BK01 is a simple power strip. It will say if it is a surge protector (hence more money).

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.

I have not purchased this item. I think my daughter and son who have the same initials as I, must have purchased this item, and Amazon has sent this question to me, BUT, I did look into the detailed description of this item, and it does have inbuilt surge protection.

I am using to protect the same devices and have been pleased with it. I have had it for a little over a year I think. I no longer worry about unplugging my devices. It comes with a 100,000 warranty as long as you buy it from a authorized seller and amazon is one. The warranty is there to replace your products if it fails to protect them. They do however require you to replace the protector every few years if u want to keep the warranty against failure. I have been very pleased and would recommend this surge protector.

Yes, as Ryan said the only difference is the length. I bought one of each of them... the 15 ft. & 7 ft., because the distance from my wall outlet to my APC surge protector was further than from that surge protector to my modem. The APC unit had two RJ-11 slots in it for this purpose. Combine these two measures to really protect your network from surges and interference.

I used a surge protected with mine. It was fine. However I bought mine in feb now it doesnt work. Just stopped working. I think I will stick to the brand "comfort zone" from walmart. Under $20 and still working

http://www.amazon.com/360-Electrical-Rotating-Protector-Protection/dp/B003KKSNAQ/ref=pd_sim_hi_9 Click on the link and it will display a two pack that shows more info in the back of the package. I just bought the same model from BJ's today for $19.99 plus tax. Note: You would have to turn off the circuit breaker or junction box first prior to installing it (which I didn't, oops). Instructions for that: http://www.360electrical.com/faqs/faqs.htm# and click on the underlined part: "Check out our installed instructions". 1) All I have to do was to unscrew one screw to remove the old two outlet casing from the kitchen wall outlet and screw in the 360electricial outlet/surge protector (which comes with a silver philips screw embedded in that outlet/sp) which comes to a total of 1 minute plus of work. 2) Just fully plug in any appliance or anything and then rotate the plug to a custom fit of your own desire which is very brilliant and useful IMO. 3) The company who makes those outlets/sp are based in Salt Lake City, UT but the product, of course, is made in china. To be honest with you, I didn't pay attention to that feature (screwing that outlet/sp into an outlet) until I opened the package and realized that feature is AWESOME. Hope it helps you!

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.

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

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 manufacture of any legitimate surge protector will design and test their device for surge clamping capacity and will generally express this in Joules. Generally the higher the number the better the protection but it gets complicated after that. The point here is that the manufacturer had not done that for this model and that might mean they have not tested it or don't want to tell us. The newer model 36036 is sold by Amazon and does include Joule rating and it is quite good for this price range and design.

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.
