Pros: It works really well. I am of the opinion that the surge protection won't do a thing since house surge protectors should do all of the lifting, but it is a nice 6:1. I was confused by one of the comments which stated that a piece of plastic was preventing it from being plugged in. The piece of plastic referred to goes in the ground slot of the second outlet in a standard american two outlet... outlet. The screw would hold it in place IF your faceplate and outlet has the screw in the middle as some do but you don't need it. It would be helpful for stability but I have 6 components on mine and it only falls out when I try to remove one of the plugs. My faceplate and outlet do not have a screw in the middle. It is one where the screws holding the faceplate on are above and below the sockets. I doubt that the surge protection will work for anything resembling a major strike but it isn't designed to do that anyway. The positional outlets are really nice.

Cons: None so far but in the description it would have been helpful to know that you don't need to screw it into the wall and where the bit of plastic goes.

Overall Review: Expect this to take up an entire two outlets. The screw is nice but not needed and only adds to stability. As with all of these units, be very careful how much you plug into them as these can pop your breaker easily.

Pros: swivel plugs.. if willing to install it.

Cons: You can't just plug this into an outlet. This wasn't clear from the description. You actually have to unscrew your wall play with the electrical outlet and screw this unit over the current plug. Not at all what I was expecting, guess I should have done more research. I thought you just plug it in. You also can't just remove the screw... there's a plastic projection out of the back to make sure you don't just plug it into an outlet.
