Nice Power Saver But Not User Friendly

Comments about APC� 4-Outlet Surge Protector; White, Wall Mount, 1020 Joules:
Performs as advertised, however it didn't work when I first plugged it in; I first thought it was broken. Then I just took a guess and used a pin to press the RESET button, then it worked without issue. The LCD isn't backlit so if you install it in a dark place you'll need a flashlight to see the screen. I don't like how OVERRIDE button works: basically it just flip-flops the power either on or off based upon the current schedule, so if you know it's about to cut power, you can't use the OVERRIDE button to prevent it from doing so; only after it has cut power according to your schedule can you use OVERRIDE to turn everything back on. Also programming the schedule is confusing - does "schedule on" mean the power is on or off? It takes me some second guessing before I get that one right.Overall though I love having a device that saves me money on "Vampire Loads", protects from surges and tests my home wiring. Once you get through the install hassles it's a 'set it and forget it' device.

About Me Professional
I initially liked the warranty and the compact size. When I tried to install, it goes in our outlets upside-down. Trying to get the preset timers to work is a challenge if you want it on all the time. I wanted these for appliances and have yet to decide whether or not to return them.
