I had to replace my aging 6-way powerboard for a brand new version and I had to combined this with my Belkin 8-way Surge Protector since I have quite a lot of entertainment stuff to plug & play. Ideally, I would use this for less-power consuming products since its not a surge protector, and its not ideal for large TV's, best to buy a proper 6 or 8 way surge protector or combine this with a proper surge protector if you have a lot of things to plug in!
