The LEDs indicating current draw (amps) and voltage level are a plus and I find them somewhat reassuring to look at. I have been using the Cyberpower 1030HT for a couple of months and during that time have gone through several short commercial power outages, a brown out and a black out lasting 24 hours. The 1030HT did its job and protected the LCD TV, DVR, Blu-ray player, DVD recorder and audio equipment plugged into it. If you have the money this is a surge suppressor you should be considering. I would recommend to friends.
Once the power went out, mind you power outage, not a surge, it crapped out on me. three words.IT IS HUGE. well all i have to say to those that consider buying this power surge. TWICE. I mean don't get me wrong I live in an older home with new wiring but you never know. I previously bought a monster something or other it cost about the same if not more, somewhere in the ballpark of $70 and well it busted. This monster of a surge still alive and well. This is my second cyberpower surge the other for my laptop and well they do their job, albeit one's huge.
I bought this a year ago for a new 42" lcd tv. Came on to Amazon to order another one for a new 52" Toshiba LCD tv I just bought from Amazon. I think the product works great. The plug in's are spaced out so you can fit adaptors on it easily and so far it has worked wonderfully. My only comment is that the other reviewer who said it was to big must not of campared it to the Monster and other brands that are the same size. That being said, it is a lot bigger than your $15 surge protector from Wallmart.
Unfortunately, this thing is bigger than you probably realize. It's also curved on the top, so you can't put anything on top of it. It is about an inch wider than standard-size (17") A/V equipment. I was hoping to put it on top of my receiver, but it looks silly there, hanging over the edges. The lights on the front don't tell you anything useful. Overall, although the power protection specs are great, I regret buying this expensive toy.
