There are plenty of opportunities to check out sales on PCs this Prime Day — our roundups of the best Prime Day laptops deals and best Prime Day desktop deals have plenty of options — and you might be looking to protect your investment against power surges. Anker’s 8-plug surge protector fits the bill, also adding a couple of USB ports for charging accessories.
Its $30 list price at Amazon has remained steady for the duration of its stay, but for Prime Day it’s dropping down to $24. That’s a savings of 20% off the regular price.
Plugging electronics straight into the wall without any kind of surge protection is never recommended, and thankfully the solution is never that expensive. Anker’s power strip surge protector is a prime example, coming at you with eight plugs plus two USB-A ports for convenient charging of smaller accessories. Not only does it protect against surges, it also adds 6 feet of extension space with a flat 45-degree plug on the end to better fit into tight spots.
You get 1,200-joule surge protection here, as well as an 18-month warranty and lifetime coverage for up to $50,000 of damage should a surge manage to get past the power strip. Anker also lists temperature control and fire resistance in the feature set for a bit more peace of mind. The bottom of the bar has four mounting slots if you’d rather it not sit on the ground.
This is an excellent add-on purchase that doesn’t cost a lot but will save you a lot of hassle should a surge occur. Be sure to have a look at these other Anker surge protectors on sale for Prime Day for more options.
