The average home wastes 10% of their energy consumption through standby (vampire) power loss these energy-saving, 4-outlet, wall unit, surge protectors with integrated iGo Green® Technology automatically reduce wasted standby (vampire) power by up to 85%.

The whole premise of this review is totally wrong, none of the devices we plug into a simple electrical outlet is sending power on/off signals to an electrical outlet. If a phone charger is plugged in it has no on/off contact, the power goes straight to the transformer and the device is always charging. When the contact in the power supply is broken the circuit is interrupted and the device will turn off. In electronic devices the power flows through a transformer to step down the voltage and a rectifiier to convert it to DC power. A contact in the power supply is closed completing the circuit and supplying power to turn on the device. When the device is turned on, no “signal” is sent.

When you plug a device such as a TV or PC into a wall socket the 110 VAC is now present at that device’s power supply. The review posted by rahil123 makes no sense at all. The second two you order aren’t a better deal than the first two, so why would four be a better deal? If you were only charged shipping for the firs two, you might be onto something, but that isn’t the case. Thinking about getting just two? Then instead consider the Belkin Pivot six outlet model, or the Belkin Mini with two USB chargers (with enough power to charge an iPad). As such, I’m ordering a few more as in orders of four ir six via this WOot, they’re less expensive than the comparable, standard Belkin (that run $8-12 each on Amazon and Buy.com). When you order four, the Woot is a good value. I also like that they have side outlets, which makes it easier for recessed and behind-appliance areas You may save power, working best for phone and computer charging: we use them for our home recharging station.

These iGo models work as promoted, but they’re no magic box. I have a couple of these in place today in addition to comparable standard four and six outlet, grounded surge protectors (the Belkin SurgeMaster and Pivot models). Net: this Woot is a good deal if you’re ordering more than two. If your house is hit directly, then you have more things to worry about, like fire. In a lightning storm close enough to hit you, unplug your valuable, sensitive electrical items entirely. Lightning is quick (who’da thunk?) and the surge protectors will likely not be fast enough to catch the surge in time. the voltages from lightning are in the millions, and too high for them and your home ground to deal withī. It’s possible you suffered a “close miss” that caused damage, and you had good, fast protectors. You were lucky: surge protectors do not generally protect against lightning. You can never have too many surge protectors as far as I’m concerned. Thankfully items that were plugged into surge protectors (mostly PCs) survived the strike undamaged. A bolt of lightning literally hit my house, and was powerful enough to fry the ground surge protector (I may have the name wrong, it was the one in the fuse box itself), along with multiple electronics - a TV, a Fax machine, 2 aquariums, and an intercom system (that was literally replaced the day before at a significant cost!) to name a few items. I wish we had had more surge protectors earlier this summer.
