These usually go for about $60-$75.
Wish it was individually switched, but still OK for me.
Maybe of use to some people out there.
CamelCamelCamel.
haha I was going to say this - but then thought nah dont worry about posting because no one would rather support Kogan
Haha I also went through that thought process, but I figured it might go out of stock at Amazon or some might have a First trial and no prime or Kogan gift cards to use up etc.
But I got 20% off kogan gift cards

What's heavy duty about it?
It can’t travel overseas at the moment, so it’s not duty free.
It's made of metal.
Construction I assume, nothing heavy about 175 joules
Why’s this better than the Cyber Power one that pops up all the time?
Because it's made of metal?
No idea about this one but the CyberPower boards are so poorly built I would happily pay double to avoid them.
Energy absorption: 175 Joules. That is a miniscule amount, I hope no one is using this protecting anything important.
Compare to even this simple APC Essentials unit (https://www.umart.com.au/product/apc-essential-surgearrest-1…): 918 Joules or the popular Cyberpower one (https://www.cyberpower.com/au/en/product/sku/CPSURGE08USB-AN…): 2750 Joules.
This this this this……
It's a peice of crap and won't save you from a fart.
I'd like to see a teardown of that cyberpower. Pretty much all cheapiers are built like a POS internally.. if you saw the inside, you'd never trust them. Maybe theirs is better, I don't know.
why the price is showing $49.95 when clicked
Try now, updated link. It defaults to next seller when the cheapest option is on backorder.
Because you’re selecting the wrong seller.
which model does my OZB fellows recommend for one that has individual switches?
Why, in this day and age, are there still only two sockets with wide spacing on a board with 8 ports?
8 wide spaced ports + individual switches = shut up and take my money
(Second rant: Instead they usually insist on adding usb… Which ends up dying or outdated too soon).
I bought an arlec from Kmart recently that has double spacing.
Bought one of these on the weekend, 8 plugs, switched and a decent distance apart. 1000 joules. $60

Pretty sure it's built by Arista, there's an identical unit selling on ebay for $169.
Looks like a good unit in that respect - individually switched, wide spacing. But gee, it's not exactly discreet.
Nope. :) But I needed 8 switched plugs and that seemed the best option. Arista used to make a flatter version but I couldn't find any around.
@EightImmortals: Cool. How does it go with the angled sides? Do big power bricks fit or do they hit the floor?
@justtoreply: I have it mounted on the wall. Haven't tried any bricks in it yet but the plugs seem pretty solid and if it was placed flat on the floor I don't think the brick would have anywhere to fall due to the angles of the unit itself. I guess a really big brick might touch the floor but you'd have to measure things out first I guess.
Six of the eight sockets look crazy close together… gonna be tight even with the smallest of wall wart power supplies.
That's a long boi
Damn, too slow on my part and already gone.
Have one maybe older version crap power switch
Have 2 of these. Really like their build.
Fairly solid build.
Mounted one to the underside of my standing desk earlier this month.
