    i paid $29 even though it says $25 at the front page……..

    • empengpro on 10/05/2010 - 18:30

      yup me too… paid $29 7am this morning…

    How is the one from Ozstock?

    2 x 6-Way SANSAI Surge Protected Power Board with Individual On/Off Switches and Extra Spacing

    • POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 08:25
      +1

      $28.98 + shipping is not a bargain!

      +1 for Individual On/Off Switches and Extra Spacing but Belkin’s Unlimited Connected Equipment Warranty got my vote for peace of mind.

      • slowmo on 10/05/2010 - 10:44

        how was that not a bargain? i thought its 2 of that 6-way boards in ozstock…
        though I didn't get it because there is an annoying light that is constantly on, (assuming that it stays on even when all the points in the board is not in use.)

        • Pizza The Hut on 10/05/2010 - 12:36

          You probably wont like this Belkin either then. Most of these surge protected boards have a light to tell you that its protected. Silly thing is though, even when the varistor is gone the light still stays on.

    • browser on 10/05/2010 - 09:58

      That one looks similar to the one from Jaycar:

  • TimeOrMoney on 10/05/2010 - 08:44

    Snatched 3.

    It says $29 on the front page now.

    • POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 09:10

      They fixed quick and take out 2 Day Offer too. Hope they have enough stocks to last for 24 hrs :-)

  • mshanann on 10/05/2010 - 09:23

    Has anyone here ever actually lost electrical equipment before to a power surge?

    These things are not going to actually stop a lightning strike from destroying your gear; see this thread

    http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=2421176#post…

    $29 is pretty cheap "insurance" though - if Belkin actually pays out.

    Here is the product link on belkin

    • Livert on 10/05/2010 - 09:36

      No equipment lost to a surge but I have had a Belkin surge protector expire on me (presumably from a power surge). Replacement of the product was a simple process. Just a phonecall to Belkin claims.

      • Ahanafi on 10/05/2010 - 14:28

        Did you need to provide a receipt in order to claim? Kinda hard keeping a receipt for the life of the product…

        • Livert on 10/05/2010 - 17:09

          Not in my case. I just described the pattern of the light indicators on the surge protector and they sent me a new one within a few days.

    • papafox on 10/05/2010 - 11:29

      Yep - came home one day to a quiet house with the servers powered off and no internet. Went to the comms cabinet in the garage and found that both the power board and the ADSL modem rattled. There had been a nearby lightning strike (I live 100m from a major power substation) and the power board had given up its life protecting the servers. The energy in the surge was enough to melt some components. The modem was plugged into power board, but the phone line wasn't, so the modem died.

      Interestingly, the audio-video equipment (TV, amp, DVD etc) and its power board were still working. I replaced the power board anyway since MOV's are prone to silent failures - the equipment connected to the board still gets an electrical supply, but since the MOV have failed, the board provides no protection.

    Damn this is badly designed. Recessed outlets and so close togehter! Forget about using any bulky chargers.

    • m0tyrider on 10/05/2010 - 09:41

      They are a bit close, which is a bit of a spew, but at the price for $29 with the surge protection i ordered 3.!

        Agreed, was going to buy this, but thought about how I would plug everything in… not happening lol

    • happykamper on 10/05/2010 - 12:25

      Exactly. I hate recessed outlets, and I have too many 'brick' chargers for this to be of any use to me.

    • POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 15:21

      Yeah kinda sucks can't use large power adapters but for the price & warranty…won't let 'em get away either :-)

    I'm glad that ozbargainers are taking an interest in this product…the product is selling much faster than i expected and will soon sell out.

    Currently at this stage i'm expecting this offer to run out of stock before 7pm. We'll be putting up a sold out sign on the offer soon.

    So if you really want the offer - you'd better hurry up and get it.

    • POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 15:15

      Currently at this stage i’m expecting this offer to run out of stock before 7pm.

      Then this deal only last for around 12hrs. Thanks to the force of OzB! :)

    • achw on 10/05/2010 - 15:20

      great deal - but it still says $25 on the main page!

      • POWERevolution on 10/05/2010 - 15:45

        It's $29, clean up your internet cache.

    • kimmik on 10/05/2010 - 18:58

      Oh mannn i got home at quarter to 7!

      Thanks for organising this deal… but i'd be happier if i actually got one =(

      any chance for getting more stock? please?

  • syl on 10/05/2010 - 15:08

    Ordered 2 earlier, I've had The ADSL port on my modem fry and a netgear NAS die on me during one particular thunderstorm. Thankfully both were replaced under warranty as they were less than a year old.

  • sublemon on 10/05/2010 - 22:40

    The surge protector itself is not good in terms of design so I'm guessing everybody got one for the warranty.

  • jiakz on 11/05/2010 - 00:59

    too many clauses in the warranty

  • Wiser on 11/05/2010 - 08:53

    Guys I got two for $25 each.I made an enquiry yesterday about the price difference and toady they offered me 2 at $25 each.

    • grizz_li on 11/05/2010 - 09:19

      What do you mean?

      • Livert on 11/05/2010 - 09:32

        There was a pricing error when the deal was first launched. It was advertised as $25 each. I guess people who ordered prior to the change can dispute getting charged $29 to get the discount like Sachy did.

      • Wiser on 11/05/2010 - 11:57

        Yesterday I sent them an email complaining about the price difference. Today a CS consultant called me and took the order over phone for 2 at $25.Great.Lesson- if there is something wrong, do complain. Again it depends on the retailer. Some will follow the correct practices some just turn away.

  • illumination on 11/05/2010 - 10:53

    How would this one compare to the Huntkey one posted up last week on OzBargain?

    LOL
    I won't complain as $29 is already cheap enough!

    got mine this afternoon….bigger than i thought though

  • davidl2 on 11/05/2010 - 22:01

    damn, just saw this & it's SOLD OUT!!

    anymore in stock? or chance or restock? :-(

  • TimeOrMoney on 12/05/2010 - 20:50

    Received my three today. Despite the supposedly dreaded recessed sockets, every one of my plugs—over a dozen—have clicked in snugly, and without getting in the way of other plugs.

    Very happy; only regret is that I didn't snatch six.

  • grizz_li on 13/05/2010 - 00:48

    Got an email from DSE with AAE tracking number.
    I'm guessing I'll receive it tomorrow.

  • peterspeter on 13/05/2010 - 11:21

    Received it this morning. Comes in a unbelievable large box (for a surgeboard). I think the delivery itself is costing DSE more than $29.

    • peterspeter on 13/05/2010 - 13:14

      Just opened the box. Looks a bit refurbished to me…

      • justhooked on 13/05/2010 - 13:22

        the box mine came in could have fitted 6 easy for my two must have cost heaps to WA

        • applebyte on 13/05/2010 - 14:21

          I reckon… what a huge box and only ordered 1…

  • grizz_li on 13/05/2010 - 22:07

    My huge box was labelled "Belkin". I ordered 2 units so I guess they probably used one size for everyone's order.
    Great quality! Using it now.

  • discuss99 on 14/05/2010 - 11:29

    some of my equipment can't plug in…since it only accept circle socket,….some of my plug is in square shape..

  • savememoney on 14/05/2010 - 14:12

    Got mine (x2) today, picked up from the post office as the courier came by yesterday and no one was home.

    Yup! Big delivery box indeed!

  • lo200 on 19/05/2010 - 21:14

    I ordered mine last Monday and still didn't receive mine. Called up DSE and they told me 2 of my orders have been canbcelled, the Swann DVR4-2500 kit and the Belkin surge protector.

    Not happy since it allowed me to put the orders in. The DVR is not $1199 and they wont sell it to me for $799 anymore.

  • grizz_li on 19/05/2010 - 21:56

    Threaten legal action if they don't provide a decent explanation for the cancellation, eg. fraudant credit card, DSE warehouse burnt down overnight, Belkin products massive recall.

  • lo200 on 20/05/2010 - 09:06

    When I called them yesterday the girl said she will escalate to a senior then I got an email today saying the items have been shipped.

    I am happy again :)
