5Just what I wantedNov 25, 2008
By L. Kirk "Crabseye"
I was looking for a single outlet surge suppressor for a new treadmill. This one is just what I wanted. Grounded (3-prong), has a light to indicate that the suppression is still active, fairly unobtrusive. Tripp-lite is a quality name and I am happy with this product.

4Perfect sizeJun 01, 2011
By Daniel Abrams
**SEE EDIT BELOW*** - and uploaded a pic of first and second purchse - READ CAPTION FOR DETAILS!

I bought this surge protector for a treadmill. According to the treadmill's manual, it recommends a single plug surge protector with lights to show that it is protected, and this fit the bill!

In practice: I think we all know that crazy storms have been sweeping the Midwest lately (May 2011)! Well, I'm in Missouri (not Joplin). The storms lately have played havoc with our electrical systems, but this handy little device has done its job perfectly! The treadmill runs perfectly still and I have faith that it will continue to!

Previous concerns: Before buying this product, I was worried that the lights and shape might interfere with the second plug in the outlet. DO NOT WORRY! It fits perfectly with room to spare. My other plug (top one) is fully accessible.

FYI: The Grounded light is red and the Protected light is green, at least on mine. I would tend to associate red with something BAD, but knowing what it means on this is all I really need. Just something I noticed.

**EDIT**
I ordered another one of these, and it was NOT what I wanted. I used the product link from my history, and even found this review I had written to be sure. The new one was larger and DID block the other outlet. I don't know if I was just lucky once, or which design is older, but this new one is darker gray, and big enough to be a pain. I had to switch some things around to plug it all in. First purchase was 5 stars, second one is 3 stars. It works, but it is in the way! This new one is the only thing in my outlet. I am NOT satisfied with it, but the price of the item means it's not worth my trouble to return. Boo (hiss).

5Excellent deal!!!Nov 14, 2009
By Paul M. Toscano
I noticed that some friends had their laptops protected by the Tripp Lite SPIKECUBE so I went onto Amazon for more information. The price (<$10 delivered) and the reviews sold me. I bought three of these surge protectors. I've used Tripp Lite before. I have one of their Home Theater power centers, which I love, so I thought it only fitting to purchase this product. It's an inexpensive way to get protection for valuable computer/electronics equipment.

It's perfect for travelers because it provides protection for your laptop while on the road, and it's small enough to fit in your laptop case, or luggage. You cannot go wrong.

5Great little product-already did its job very well.Sep 28, 2011
By Steve Swanson
Purchased 10 of these after a storm cost us hundreds in replacing a microwave, tv, radio, DSL modem, etc. Had another storm recently which caused some local transformers to fail & apparently send spikes down the line. Two of these little buggers gave their lives to save our equipment. Worth every penny!!

Interestingly, they still allow power through, but the little "protected" LED is no longer lit & there is a burnt odor that can be smelled from it. Must be a thermal fuse. So don't be fooled if your equipment is still operable after a storm. Check the LED's!!! If it doesn't say PROTECTED, the Spikecube likely did its job at some point, and must now be replaced.

Highly recommend this product.

5Perfect for my wall-mounted TVAug 20, 2009
By James Lin
I wanted a simple, unobtrusive surge protector for my wall-mounted TV and the Spikecube was perfect. It's a little bit bigger than a cell phone charger wall adapter so it doesn't take up much space, but it offers the same protection as a decent power strip with surge protection.

In Southern California, we don't really have any big storms so we usually don't have to worry about power surges, but I still feel safer when my expensive electronics are protected. Fortunately, I've never had to rely on them though.

My only complaints are the big, glowing status indicator and the direction that the only outlet faces. I'd prefer if the status light weren't so big, but it's not hard to hide the Spikecube behind a potted plant or something like that. The outlet faces directly outward so any heavier plug or power brick will make the whole setup extends straight out of the wall about 4 or 5 inches. It'd be much better if the plug were angled facing slightly upwards or downwards.

Overall though, these are small issues. Tripp-Lite makes some of the most reliable surge protectors so this 750 joule unit is probably better than the cheapo no-name 1000 joule power strips.
