Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. The detachable USB hub is a big plus. Never have the only issue I see is now that allot of products are using this bigger than normal base to plug in that it covers up two outlet plugs. Wish they were spaced out a little bit wider.

Impressive Surge Protector

StanLee . 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Monster’s Vertex surge protect provides ample power for six outlets with USB ports on an extension. The USB component is convenient, as it’s closer to where you actually need it. The surge protector has a couple of drawbacks with the outlets offered (chunky plugs still take up too much space) and the braided cord construction doesn’t have the heft we’re accustomed to.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly didn't realize how great this thing was until I got it out of the box! I initially was mainly interested in the look of the thing, as it looks really good. The additional USB ports were a good bonus, so I went with it. It wasn't until I got it out of the box that I realized the extension for the USB ports. What a great difference that has made! That difference changed where I planned to use this and has prompted me to look into buying additional protectors to swap out some of the older, more basic, models that I already have. Great product!

MID-LEVEL SPECIFICATIONS

Colonel . 1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like many other people, I have a substantial investment in high quality, expensive electronic equipment, including TVs, Home Theaters, Computers, etc. I know that it is a necessity to protect electronic devices against powerline related damage, such as transient voltage surges and spikes that can damage or destroy them. I have had numerous Monster brand products through the years, including many Monster surge suppressors. I selected the new Monster Vertex Surge Protector based on Monster’s reputation and my prior experience with Monster products, even though the important specifications for the Vertex were not available. Now that I have received the Monster Vertex, I found some specifications on the label attached to the bottom of the surge protector. The electrical specifications for the Monster Vertex are listed, or not listed on the product label, as follows: • Surge Energy Joule Rating: 3000 • Response Time: Not Listed • Max Spike Current (Amps | Volts): Not Listed • VPR (Voltage Protection Rating) / Clamping Voltage / Let Through Voltage: 1000 Volts L-N, L-G, N-G. When selecting a Surge Protective Device (SPD) (formerly known as Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS)) as regulated by UL Standard 1449), there are a few specifications which differentiate SPDs, as follows: 1. Joules – The Higher the Joules rating, the better. 2. Maximum Spike Current – The Higher the number, the better. 3. Response Time – The Lower the number, the better. 4. VPR / Clamping Voltage / Let Through Voltage – The Lower the number, the better (probably the most important number). 5. Filtration Rating – The Higher the number, the better. The Monster Vertex specifications are not terribly impressive. The Joules rating essentially represents the cumulative energy absorption capacity of the SPD. The higher the number equates to the more hits from power spikes and surges that the SPD will endure before failing. A rating of 3000 Joules is not horrible, but for comparison, the SPD that currently protects my main TV and Home Theater System is rated at 7114 Joules. I also have some even less expensive SPDs which are rated at 6490 Joules and “cheap” SPDs rated at 4320 Joules. The Maximum Spike Current rating is not listed, and that data is important. The Response Time is also not listed. Most decent SPDs are rated at Under 1 nanosecond. How fast the SPD reacts to a voltage spike or surge is critically important in ensuring that the overvoltage is shunted to ground as rapidly as possible. The Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) or Suppressed Voltage Rating (SVR), which may also be referred to as the Clamping Voltage or Let Through Voltage, indicates the voltage level which will trigger the SPD to react and shunt away the excess voltage to ground, and it is of critical importance when selecting an SPD. Clamping voltage is expressed as one of three values based on UL1449; 330 V, 400 V or 500 V, with the actual test result voltage being rounded up to the next tier value. The Clamping Voltage / Voltage Protection Rating is perhaps the most important specification for an SPD. It relates how much excess voltage will be permitted to pass-through to the sensitive, protected electronics, before the SPD intervenes with the Metal Oxide Varistors absorbing surge and shunting the overcurrent to ground. A VPR of 330 V or less is desired. Some of the SPDs that I use have a Clamping Voltage of 188 V. 400 V is marginal, and 500 V is not worth connecting to electronic devices that matter, and is often described as “too little, too late”. The VPR of the Monster Vertex is a whopping 1000 V, which is obviously extremely high. The Monster Vertex measures approximately 11” l x 3.75” w x 1.5” h. It provides six protected taps which are arranged three per side on a slightly sloped top. The tap spacing and directional orientation are good for moderately sized power blocks. The unit has a rocker type On/Off switch and two white LED lamps, one of which is labeled “Grounded” and the other “Protected”. The power cord is 6’ in length. The Monster Vertex has a removable USB hub, which can be remotely extended up to 4’ from the surge suppressor via its thick, red braided nylon fabric jacketed cord. The USB hub provides two 2.4 Amp USB-A charging ports and one 20 Watt USB-C power delivery port. The USB hub has a strong magnet in the base, and a black metal mounting plate, with adhesive mounting pad, which is provided for remotely mounting the USB hub. The adhesive mounting is permanent. The braided cord can be neatly wrapped around the Vertex when the USB hub remains magnetically attached to the top of the Vertex unit. The main body of the Monster Vertex surge suppressor may be wall mounted vertically or horizontally via key-hole slots on the bottom of the unit. Mounting screws and a cardboard mounting template are included in the package. The bottom of the Monster Vertex has a silicone rubber strip around the perimeter to provide slip resistance. The Monster Vertex looks nice and modern, but the level of protection provided by the surge suppressor is not adequate due to the extremely high Let-Through Voltage (VPR) of 1000 volts. Other essential specifications are not even provided by the manufacturer. Regrettably, I am disappointed by the Monster Vertex. I will not use it for a TV, computer, or any other sensitive or valuable electronic devices. I can only use it for less sensitive devices.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cables included in the product are exceptionally thick, indicating a strong emphasis on using high-quality materials throughout. The overall construction of the cables exudes a sense of durability and reliability. I am particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the design, such as the outlet plug being positioned at a 90-degree angle instead of the usual straight out orientation. This feature not only adds convenience but also contributes to the overall sturdiness and solidity of the product. Moreover, the cord itself is heavy-duty, further enhancing its resilience and ability to withstand regular use. Additionally, the inclusion of an extension piece for USB connectivity and to extend the reach to the top of a desk demonstrates a thoughtful consideration for practicality and user convenience. These design choices and the quality of the materials used not only inspire confidence in the product's durability but also enhance the overall user experience. With these features in place, I can trust that the cables will withstand rigorous usage and provide reliable connectivity, making them a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking high-quality, long-lasting cable solutions.
