Monster multiple surge guard circuitry absorbs harmful power surges to give you audio video system protectionharmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up ac power and coax connections and damage your components. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that can travel up ac power lines and coax cables to damage the sensitive electronic circuitry of your connected audio video components. Ordinary surge protectors, or the so-called "value brands", often fail to provide the adequate level of protection your av components need. Plus, standard surge protectors often cause as much as 20 to 30db of signal loss which can adversely affect the output performance levels of coax connections. Proper connection to an advanced surge protector that offers integrated system protection can help minimize the risk of permanent surge damage. Unlike standard surge protectors, the monster PowerCenter av800 with Surgeguard protection provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple metal oxide varasitors respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and damage your audio video components. Plus, monster's ultra-low loss RF circuitry minimizes signal loss to maintain the peak output performance of your coax connections. monster PowerCenters make life easier. Monster's flatprofile plug lets you push your furniture flush against the wall. And, with color-coded outlets and cord labels, you can avoid unplugging your VCR by mistake, causing it to blink "12:00". Finally, a generous eight-foot monster power cord, which is the optimum length to reach most electrical outlets, is included. Now you can get protection from harmful surges, voltage spikes and inconvenience! Monster's PowerCenters offer high performance solutions for today's technology challenges.

Just died after 3 years:
I bought this model (or virtually the same one) three years ago. It's been fine all this time. Last night it just blinked out. No surge, no storm, no ozone smell...just gone. I had to reconnect everything to a regular power strip and will need to get a new surge protected one today.
Not What I Spected:
First and last time buyer, during last Friday's thunderstorm had a power surge and didn't protect anything connected to it. The HD receiver cable box is burned and so it's my "New" LED TV. The cable company can replaced the receiver box but.... my LED TV?
Get some Bandaides!:
The product as shipped looks great and I accept the representations of the manufacturer and other reviewers that it will work as described. Hopefully I wont get to hear it shriek as it does its job. In practice it seems to be short a few outlets since today every gizmo seems to use a wall rat for power and they come in all sorts of odd sizes and don't like living side by side. But the AV has well spaced plugs that accommodate most. So far no problems. Except one - opening the cursed plastic container.... more info
Great Product:
It made connections easy for all my electronics. I have receiver, sub, plasma tv, ps3, dvd, etc all running to it. Have not experienced any instances to test it out, I hope I never will, but I feel protected. I looked around for a reasonable price and found it here.
