I'm using one right now and I'm pretty impressed with the way it's running. I'm not sure what the durability of the unit is before it starts messing up.

i've had 2 of those go into meltdown...they make me very nervous

What happened in this meltdown? Everything plugged into it just stopped working?

the plug outlets just fried and melted...everything that was plugged into them was fine other than having blackened the plugs themselves. nothing some emery cloth couldn't fix

but kinda scary. thought i would try one again and a few months later, same thing!

That is pretty ownage.

I'll have to do some research on this. You are making me very nervous, haha.

other thing i had issues with these was that sometimes they would miss switching lights off or on. not that big of a deal unless you're not around for a few days or so...not very reliable unfortunately. i'm speaking of the analog ones, not sure about the digital.

For the DJ/ Chav units - is there room for timers? I also saw a large PB as Murray described at Home Depot. It was in the electrical section that has plastic covers for hiding wires along walls and such. Probably about 6" between plugs @ 39.99
