Best Money Saving Timer Surge Protectors – 7 Models Reviewed

This timer surge protector manufactured by TP-link earns our editorial recommendation mainly based on build quality and power-saving features that come with it.

Kasa HS300 energy monitoring feature is really what makes it stand out from the rest of the models on the list.

Imagine being able to track and monitor energy usage on individual outlets and power down devices that are drawing too much electrical power.

This will definitely help you hit your monthly energy consumption goal while providing you with the convenience of controlling it from virtually anywhere.

This Kasa HS300 timer surge protection device may be pricey but with the amount of electrical energy you can potentially save each month, HS300 should pay for itself in a few months.

At first glance, this is a reasonably well-built digital timer surge protection device that is well worth the asking price, considering the sleek and neat design that comes with it.

This BN-Link timer surge protector offers one row of 4 outlets that are programmable while the other 4 outlets don’t the opposite row is “Always On”.

To the delight of most people, the digital timer can be configured to be as low as one minute.

This is great for people who have a very precise schedule for aquariums lightings, environment lighting control, and so on.

I personally like how the colored LED demarcates between both the row of timed and “Always On” outlets – no confusion there.

This 600 Joule surge protector also comes with an overload protection switch located conveniently by the side of the surge protector.

The only downside to this timer device is that it will take a while to get used to how the timer program works.

This 8 outlets surge protector comes with a one-year warranty and is rated for indoor use only.

The black exterior design of this POWRUI smart timer surge protector may not be much of a looker but it does pack a punch when it comes to withstanding wet and damp outdoor weather conditions.

This 1080 joules surge protector offers an IP44 rating which means it is able to protect against water splashing from all directions.

If you are looking to get a surge protection device with voice control, timer, and scheduling feature, this POWRUI 4 outlet extender is for you.

Each of the 4 outlets can be controlled and programmed individually via phone app or voice control.

Imagine controlling all your outdoor lighting (e.g. plant-grow lights, security lighting, etc) during bad weather with just a few taps and swipes on your phone without getting drenched. 🙂

Moreover, you will be glad to know that the network configuration and setup to a 2.4 GHz wireless network is quick and easy.

This device works flawlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant and it comes with a 12-month warranty as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Brilliantly designed for maximum simplicity and ease of use, this Fosmon mechanical timer surge protector has a lot to offer beyond its sleek exterior.

As there will be times when I need to plug in more than 4 devices that need to be powered on 7 by 24, I love the fact that the timed outlets can be converted to “Always On” outlets with a flick of a switch.

And if you are someone who does not like to meddle with mobile apps and voice control, and is a huge fan of 24-hours mechanical timers, look no further. This fully programmable device offers a timer pin dial that can be set to a minimum of 15 minutes apart.

And just like any good surge protector, there are 4 timed outlets to help you avoid “standby power” by disconnecting plugged-in devices from the power source when the timer triggers.

While this 600-joule surge protector has comfortable spacing between each outlet, it is worth noting that the 4 timed outlets cannot be controlled individually.

If you are looking to schedule power-on timing for things like Christmas decorative lighting, aquariums, or plant lightings, this Fosmon surge protector is definitely worth the asking price.

If you do not mind this APC timer surge protector’s old-school design and button-based scheduling feature, this white 4-outlets wall tap surge protector which offers 1020 joules is a real steal at its current price.

Similar to all timer-based surge protection devices, APC P4GC offers a power-saving feature to help trim down your daily energy consumption.

And in case you are wondering, all the timer-controlled outlets cannot be programmed independently – just like the Fosmon model listed above.

Most importantly, this surge protector does come equipped with catastrophic event protection. When the internal surge components are no longer able to protect the plugged-in device, excess power to the outlets will be instantaneously cut off.

While this APC surge protection device does not offer high-tech features like smart app support and voice control, it does offer decent joule ratings and an LCD screen that comes with six preset time programs.

Overall, this lightweight APC programmable surge protector is a fairly worthy investment to help trim down your monthly electrical bill.

If you are looking for a good quality timer surge protector packed with features, you will not want to miss out on this smart power strip from Kasa.

True to their brand, TP-Link truly manufactures products that are of better quality than the majority of the industrial brands, and unsurprisingly, that includes Kasa HS300.

First of all, if you are like my client Jane who is obsessed with reducing energy consumption, HS300 has an energy monitoring feature that allows you to keep a close tab on your daily usage.

Being a gadget junkie myself, I appreciate the inclusion of 3 built-in USB ports.

Let’s be clear, the 3 USB ports are “Always On”, they cannot be power-controlled.

That said, I must mention that, unlike some timer surge protectors listed above, HS300 allows you to control each outlet independently.

With the Kasa Smart App, setting up schedules for each outlet is a breeze if using voice control is not exactly your thing.

This 1710 joules remote control surge protector comes with 24 months warranty, a very comprehensive smart app, and is understandably pricey for what it’s worth.

Guess what, with the amount of energy saved, this timer surge protection device may pay for itself in a few months. 🤑

You should seriously consider getting this Cyberpower timer surge protector if messing around with a smart app and voice control is really NOT your thing.

The Cyberpower HT705GR is an advanced power strip that comes equipped with an automatic Infrared sensor that is targeted toward homeowners who are looking to trim down their daily electrical consumption.

The 5 energy-saving outlets on HT705GR are primarily controlled by an Infrared smart sensor which automatically shuts down plugged-in electronics when the infrared signal from the remote control is absent for a selected period of time.

For example, the Infrared smart sensor can be placed in front of a television set and if it does not detect an infrared signal from the remote control over a period of time, it will trigger the energy-saving feature and the TV will be powered off after a 15 minutes grace period is over.

This 1500 joules surge protector comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is indeed the perfect surge protector device for people who prefer a hands-free style of reducing their daily energy consumption.

If you are not a fan of wall tap timer smart plugs like the APC P4GC we reviewed above, this APC timer surge protector power strip may be for you.

APC P6GC features an old-school button-based timer setup which is for people who do not want to get technically bound to smart apps and voice control boxes.

This 3-foot long timer surge suppressor comes with 6 outlets (one of them is “Always On”) that offer an energy rating of 1080 Joule.

And just like any other SurgeArrest surge protector model from APC, a catastrophic event protection feature is built-in to this power strip and is capable of shutting out excessive voltages instantly when it is no longer capable of protecting the connected devices.

P6GC comes with a standard lifetime warranty and is a decently priced device to help you with your power-saving endeavors.
