Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1) Power conditioning to reduce noise down the line, but it appears to have increased the noise floor, so it's worse. I can't tell if that's because I'm getting cleaner power to the DBX 286s and, while I reduced the preamp gain on the 286 to compensate, I still get the noise (low hum). This is a huge disappointment, as it is the main reason I got this unit. I have no doubt I can fix this by plugging this into an outlet across the room (I've tested this before), but thought this might keep me from having to stretch an long extension cable across the room.
2) Provide cleaner power with some added protection for my equipment. I can only assume this is what is happening, as I have no real way to test that at the moment.
The features of this unit are a bit extra in my case, as I didn't need the lights and don't use all the outlets. However, I couldn't get the model that didn't have the lights, as it was out of stock and this was only $5 more.
I have to say there are tons of reviews on this unit that state the lights get hot. They do. However, people say they're too dim and that wasn't my experience. I lit this thing up all the way on the dimmer switch in a daylit room and it worked just fine. I've also seen people state that you can't turn off the lights. They turn off when the light posts are pushed all the way in. Yes, the dimmer switch would have been better if it had a full "off" position, so that you don't have to mess with the posts, but honestly if you're adjusting the dimmer, then you're right there where the posts are, as well. In other cases, people state this only works with the type of bulb that comes with it, but there is a video on YouTube where a person installs these (Full Compass brand, part no. 800-356-584) in his unit and it worked. They're LED and bright. I can't personally verify this, as I don't have those bulbs at the moment. Their FAQ on the product says:
15A Standard Power Conditioner w/Lights
What kind of light bulb does the Furman Merit series use for the pull out lights?
The bulb is a C7 type bulb. Anything from 4 to 7 watts is acceptable.
On one of my images here I took out the background of my horrible cable management that I'm embarrassed about.
Hopefully, that puts some concerns to rest.
