Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item. Judging the value of a Surge Protector like the PowerSquid is not a simple thing. Too many people are of the opinion that a power strip at $20 is the same thing as a Surge Protector costing $50 or $60. Fortunately the Accell PowerSquid will not set you back $50 or even $40; in fact you can pick one up for around $35.00. We have even seen reference to them at Home Depot so you will not have to order one online and then pay extra to have it shipped to you. When you compare what you get from the Accell PowerSquid to the average power strip it is not hard to see which one is the better value (hint it is the PowerSquid).

Conclusion -
The Accell PowerSquid is a nice piece of hardware even if you only look at it from the stand point of how easy it is to use. After getting annoyed at multiple flat, linear power strips it is nice to have flexible cables to plug things into. The recessed power/breaker button is a handy little feature if this in on the floor under a desk. After working with multiple companies where the battery backup or power strip is just laid under the desk I can attest to how easy it is for s user to power something off by accident. Added to these simple features you have excellent line conditioning and protection for your expensive hardware all with a $35 price tag. It is not hard to see why you might want to pick one of these up when you are looking for your next “power strip”.
