Huntkey PZC 504 5 Socket Surge Protector

I'm writing this review after almost 7 years because I see some negative reviews and also because I'm looking to buy another one. I bought it in Dec 2015 and its been great ever since. I have used various brands like Belkin, Anchor, MX, and found this the best.PROs1. The switches led still work perfectly.2. The switches still work perfectly3. Unlike some reviews, this has a 3 pin 6A plug. So its well earthed.4. Unlike a review of difficulty in wall mounting. Well I had no problem. It is fixed quite firmly to the wall with the blind holes.5. Build quality is good.Cons - Expensive as compared to other local brands. But all the better quality ones are Rs 1000+After almost 7 years of usage, I am looking to buy another. I guess that says it all.

Not so good product

Build quality is sturdy.Much better quality than I expected. I have another power strip by Belkin. It is comparable to Belkin. I prefer Belkin but it does not have individual switches for each socket.Switches are sturdy. The switches requires a slight bit of force to switch on or off, which is good. They are not loose. They look like they can take a decent amount of rough use.I have a couple of UK plugs and a US plug, apart from Indian plugs. They all fit fine.I wish it had more sockets for the price, so I wont have to keep removing a plug and plugging in another.I would have preferred black or grey. It seems it is available only in white.Switches are between two sockets so it is not easy to determine which plug is the switch for, but I got used to it in a couple of months. It seems keeping switches in between two sockets is like a compromise to save space and material. The iPhone charger (UK plug), when plugged in, has a couple of millimeter space between it and the switch.Update: Now this is strange. The product pic does not show an earth pin, but the item I received in Apr 2016 had an earth pin. They have increased price by 100 too.

Bought this based on my previous experience with this product. Previously I had this connected to a power extension socket along with another local brand spike buster which one day got messed up with neutral wiring and spiked up the voltage. There was no power to any of my devices connected to the local one. Upon investigating the issue further, I found the fuse to be blown and once replaced, it was still having that issue. I got rid of the local spike buster and continued to use this one and there has not been any issue whatsoever on this one.The other reason I got this was because of the individual switches for each socket, which makes it convenient to switch off the devices not in use.This thing withstands good load as well. I have a CD player, Stereo Amplifier (200wpc), PC and monitor, another small amp (for comparison) and all of them work just fine.There was one time when one of the sockets came out from my previous huntkey surge protector, which I fixed with fevibond and no issues after that. But that happened when trying to pull of one of the plugs that was real tight.For the price, this is a great product.

Within 6 months of use, it's 3 on/off buttons has stopped working and they are always on now. I heard a lot about this product but it is just like other products. So why to pay extra when you will get similar quality product with other vendors too.

Worst Product with Worst customer support,but failed miserably from a small surge which happened, A sudden high voltage happened in my locality, even though there is three line protection in the huntkey, it literally burned down, see the attached pic, I expected only the FUSE to get blown, but it even damaged my laptop charger completelyIt blasted loud burning out with flames, Luckily the damage was there only to the first plug, I had super expensive items connected to it, My Bose speakers, My monitor, Oneplus3 charger, another laptop charger.Now comes the worst part when I searched for the customer care(I stay in Bangalore) was confident that things will be taken care as it is under so called 3 year warranty, I searched a lot and found in some forum regarding the third party service provider(Texonic Instruments) for warranty, To my surprise he washed his hands, saying they don't deal with these issues and he gave me Chennai contact. when called to Chennai texonic, he says fault is on my side so they cant do anything, WT* the purpose of the surge protector is to protect my other devices from surge and not fry them, and this customer executive says its problem from my side.Now the worst of worst, They have said they are not going to provide any replacement and for servicing I have to ship it to Chennai at my own cost and they will fix it and send it back , Please note it will be serviced if it at all it can be serviced, if its beyond that state they wont be either servicing nor replacing.Regretting for choosing this crap surge protector, It fried my laptop charger, so a total waste of 1000rs for the Huntkey and few more thousands for replacing the laptop charger.So dont think you can be at peace after getting this surge protector, Better stay away from these cheap guys and dont even give a second thought about buying Belkin(I have already ordered a Belkin to replace this crap)

Bought this as a replacement for my old Huntley Spike Guard (same model). It is mentioned as 10A and 2500W in the specification for this item which is not correct. It is only 6A and 1500W as printed clearly in the rear side of the item. The specs needs to be corrected
