Question: Was this model affected by the October 2013 recall of 15 million surge APC protectors, due to overheating and fire damage?
Document: I ended up with several of these surges as replacements for the APC Pro 7 Surge protectors that were among those that were recalled by APC. (See APC's recall web site if you have any older APC surges that might be recalled and replaced by APC) I personally had no issues with the Pro 7 as they seemed to be well built and good quality.These P7T are also good quality surges and have worked for me so far reliably with no issues.
Purchased my first APC surge protectors in 2000. This past year they were replaced as part of a recall. Liked the new ones so well that I purchased three more. They are lighter than the older surge protectors which had a metal case. All the functions of the earlier models are the same, but the new ones have a longer cord which is more useful. The new ones also come with extra caps for the outlets which protects empty ones from accumulating dust and debris. Great product for a fair price.
Not much to say here. I've used APC surge protectors forever and they've all been great. Like the others, I plugged it in to 1 outlet and now I have 7, wooo hooo. Black color is nice.
Every other APC surge arrestor I have (the bigger ones)  have a 90 degree wall plug, this one does NOT. Due to heavy material of APC cords, expect it to stick a good 4 inches out from your wall. Otherwise, great quality.
The APC Essential SurgeArrest meets my requirements. I do feel that there could be a better description of the surge capacity for each model to help decide which one might offer a higher level of protection. Parts of my house have older wiring so one of the two units I purchased indicates a possible wiring problem and the other does not.These units replaced old surge arrests of unknown manufacture and age. I felt the need to improve protectction for my electronics and have used APC UPS for years.
The best thing is that these have a lifetime warranty and a 50,000 damage protection, although personally I have never had to use that protection with any APC product I have had.My only complaint is that I wish these were spaced a bit more for additional power blocks.
I've purchased 7 of these so far and they've all done the job. One site has dirty power and these have kept the electrical surges from doing any damage to the printer and other devices plugged into it. APC has a good rep and their products continue to be consistently manufactured.
I chose the APC SurgeArrest over others because of it's size and bulk. Sure, it's a plastic case but very thick and heavy. The sockets are snug but that's good. The installation here is semi-permanent for my TV/DVR/DVD/VCR setup.I bought two; one has been in service for a couple weeks with no overheating or smoke, two good signs. Of course the real test will be with an AC surge but I hope that test will never occur.
...unless you are hit with a surge you know about? Feels sturdy, looks good, using a bunch of these to replace fifteen year old ones. Fire protection.
Not much to explain. This surge protector does its job well. I've purchased and installed over 25 of these protectors and have yet to have one go bad.If I had to make an improvement it would be to sink the power switch a little deeper into the inset to minimize accidental power downs.
Answer: This model is the replacement for the recalled models.  It is a complete redesign.  The recall was for models manufactured during or before 2000.  I have six of the new models and am very satisfied.  APC was exceptionally efficient in replacing models covered in the recall period.
