Austere III Series 4-Outlet Power
What's to love: This surge protector sits flush against a wall, which makes it easy to use behind furniture or wall mounted televisions. The outlets are on each side of the device, which accommodates even large or bulky plugs.
What does it do: The company says that the surge protector regulates power coming from outside power lines, which guarantees devices will not burn out from a harmful high voltage spike. Also, it prevents circuit overload, which could cause devices to short-circuit or create dangerous temperatures that can lead to fire. Surge protectors can wear out over time but the Austere III Series is rated to last five times longer than most power products and has a blue shield LED light to let the user know when it is time to replace the outlet.
