Best Surge Protector With Auto Shut Off (2026): 5 Compared

The listing states 4 timer-controlled outlets and 4 always-on outlets, all 8 protected, with a circuit breaker switch and row indicator LEDs. It is ETL listed, conforms to UL Std. 1449, 1363 and 917, and lists 3-line surge protection with VPR 800V at 125VAC, 15A and 1875W. The spec table dimensions of 3.58 by 1.71 in look inconsistent with an 8-outlet strip, so we follow the title and bullets for what the unit does.

Who it's for: anyone who wants lights or equipment on a weekly schedule with minute-level control. Who should skip it: anyone who needs USB charging or per-outlet programs, since the four timed outlets share one schedule.

It states RoHS and ETL certificates, a shell the maker rates at 1382 F, two wall-mount keyholes and a 10 ft braided cord.
