One Lightning Strike Could Wipe Out Your Electronics—Shop This Top-Tested Surge Protector While It's on Sale

Pricey electronics, including laptops, TVs, and video game consoles, that are plugged directly into the wall are always one lightning strike away from getting fried beyond repair. A surge protector reduces the risk by absorbing sudden spikes in electricity caused by said lightning (or other faults in the electric grid). In other words, this one small purchase could end up saving you thousands of dollars in damaged electronics.
And the purchase just got even smaller, thanks to Amazon Prime Day's 17% discount on one of our top-performing surge protectors—the Anker Power Strip with 2100J Surge Protector .
During extensive testing in the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab, our experts noted that the device's 2,100-joule rating put it on the higher end of how much electricity it can absorb before experiencing its own failure. We also liked its efficient arrangement of a dozen power outlets, spaced far enough apart to accommodate bulky plugs. Then there's the trio of USB ports, including one 20-watt USB-C port that our tests confirmed can bring a phone to full charge in under 30 minutes.
Our only complaint with the Anker surge protector is its relatively short cord length of 5 feet. But if that's an issue for you, Anker also sells a 10-foot model that our experts say should deliver the same high level of protection. And guess what? Its Amazon Prime Day discount is 25%!
