Best of Belkin Surge Protectors – 6 Models Reviewed

These days, surge protection devices are no longer just super-sized, heavier versions of power strips.

They are the lifesavers for our prized electronics and appliances at home and in the office in times of trouble (power spikes, lightning, phantom loads, etc).

In this review post, I thought it would be most appropriate to focus solely on Belkin surge protectors – specifically those with superior quality, top-notch features, excellent ratings, and feedback.

Moreover, most of my clients have heard of Belkin and 70% of them own at least one Belkin surge protector at home or in the office.

Based on records and reviews, I have rounded up 6 of the best Belkin surge protectors below which have good ratings and are in use by our home renovation clients.
