Monster Cable PowerCenter HT 800 Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent product
Comment: I've purchased a couple of these for a couple of home theaters and haven't had a problem yet. I'm not sure about the claim process noted by the other reviewer, but so far they seem to work fine. (Probably because my house hasn't experienced a major power surge yet) Do not buy this at Best Buy as they charge retail prices. It is much cheaper on Amazon.

The systems I have purchased these for have not been high end setups. If you ARE considering this for a multi-thousand dollar home theatre/audio setup, I would HIGHLY suggest that you buy something nicer. Why not spend the 200-300 dollars (if you insist on Monster... http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Reference-MKII-PowerCenter-Circuitry/dp/B000AYDQB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222280005&sr=1-1 ) that will protect the thousands you spent on your HT?

Summary: Did not protect, warranty is rediculous.
Comment: I purchased this to protect a lot of my expensive equipment. When my apartment was struck by lightning, the power supply failed to protect most of the components. I lost my computer, Yamaha receiver, Nintendo Wii, Wireless router, and HP printer. I figured I could call upon the warranty to get my stuff fixed, but the monster claim process is worse than most insurance companies. Fill out 3 pages, draw out a diagram, send all your equipment to certified manufacturer repair shop, wait for all the quotes, send them to monster, and then wait 4 weeks for a response. I am still waiting to get my stuff fixed. I guess I could deal with this if i new the chances were really low because the surge protector would actually work... I would not recommend this at all.
