When away from home, you’re more than likely to bring some important electronics around such as your cell phone, your laptop, and other goods.  The last thing that you want to happen is to have your electronics crap out on you because of a power outage.  You’re not going to want to run out and purchase a whole new $1,200 laptop.

Fortunately, there are some great travel power surge protectors out there that you can use.  They aren’t going to cost you a lot of money and you’re going to find that they are very easy to tote around.  You won’t have to worry about  toting around a protector that weighs 20 pounds.

Listed below are my top 6 picks for the best travel surge protectors on the market today.

  • #1 Belkin BZ103050vTVL (around $15): Belkin makes some pretty great products and this one in particular tends to have the best reviews online.  It has a very cool 360 rotating plug with 4 locking positions, it’s lightweight, and it also has a mini-USB cable to charge just about any phone.
  • #2 Belkin F9H220-THL (around $15): This Belkin is very similar to the one I just mentioned.  It includes telephone / ethernet data protection, it displays grounding and protection information, as well as folds away for each storage.  On top of that, it comes with a $75,000 connected equipment warranty!
  • #3 Monster MP OTG400 (around $11): This Monster brand has a unique design that can fit up to 4 AC outlets to maximize the accessories that you want to charge.  It has a very ultra compact design, as well as a 24k gold-plated plug for maximum corrosion resistance.
  • #4 Targus Travel Power Outlets (around $20): This Targus brand comes with 4 grounded, 3 prong type power plugs.  It’s small, easily fits in your laptop case, and it also comes with a manual resettable button.
  • #5 CyberPower CPS500NBP (around $15): The CyberPower brand comes with a sturdy impact-resistant ABS case, it fits just about all notebook computers.  This one in particular comes with 3-prong and 2-prong compatibilities.
  • #6 Fellowes 9904801 (around $20): The last one on the list is this one made my Fellowes.    It comes with a $10,000 connected equipment warranty, it’s UL and cUL approved, and also comes equipped with a 11-inch power cord that wraps around for ultimate storage.

As you can see, there are a lot of them on the market.  Be sure to know how many outlets you’re going to need, as well as how much space you have.  Check out a few of these to see which ones may work for you!
