Recently my local surge Protector shows indication of "Neutral open". I need to check all junction box with an electrician.

Before that, I need buy for Branded Spike/Surge Protector.

Now confuse to buy with Indicator or without Indicator.

Pls Suggest.

Budget 1.5...If good will extend.

Get any Belkin Surge Protector which are good quality rather going with local ones with LED indicator lights.

I have four belkin surge protectors. No issues so far. Belkin has "power" and "ground" indicators. I use that MX plug checking device to see if a plug is all okay before I connect anything to it. Maybe not use this to connect other stuff on it, but at least keep and use as an indicator.

I check with Belkin product there is no "power" and "ground" indicators.

You already bought a 8 socket Surge protector. What's the need of this single one then?

I suggest you BESTEK surge protectors, If you want to save more space, then BESTEK desktop surge protector is good for you. the desktop surge protector has 8 outlets and 6 USB ports and has USB and AC outlets indicators. If you want a surge protector with long cable, then you can choose another 8-outlet surge protector with 5566J higher surge protection. I'm now using the desktop surge protector and mainly for my personal electronics. FOr family theater, I'm going to buy the 5566J surge protector.

More Expensive....Compare to all models
