I was pretty hesitant to shell out this kind of cash for a surge protector. Especially given how much Monster tends to over-charge for their entire line up. The joule rating was impressive, for starters. 8 outlets should be enough for most anyone, and they are spaced far enough out to accommodate larger block plugs. I wasn't sold on the "Stage 1 Clean Power", and am still not convinced it's actually doing anything for me. The $250,000 connected equipment warranty, while I realize is probably almost impossible to collect upon, is still reassuring nonetheless.

I was experiencing some power problems during and after a rain storm. My tv ( a high end sony) kept turning on and off. After connecting the tv and other valuable electronics to this, the power fluctuations stopped.

Kind of a power saving mechanism but it is rarely of use if most electronics need to be on all the time. Oh and one reason why I bought it was the fact that it had a $200,000 appliance damage warranty.

I use this actually for a media center, because it's much cheaper than the media version and has better spec.'s too. Works great.
