The Best!!!

First Let me say I have had this product for almost 2 years. I have a 50 inch TV, a 5.1 amp, 2 tower speakers, and a PlayStation 3.
In the 2 year period I have had the power go out in my house several times. Sometimes due to storms or outages in my city. The last major storm was hurricane sandy which knocked out my power. While other friends and family had to replace their products due to damages I did not have to. Originally I thought that this product would not do much but as time passed I have seen the benefit. The day I purchased this product and set it up a friend of mine stated he saw a picture quality difference. To be honest I heard a difference in my speakers but did not notice the picture difference until he stated it. I tested it out with and without my tv hooked up to it and found that there was less fuss.
Today I noticed that a indicator was on which meant the wiring was faulty and the device shut off the power to my stuff. I rewired the outlet and plugged in the panamax suddenly everything turned back on. I can not imagine how different it would have been if i did not have this product but I am happy I have it.
I also have several smaller panamax products hooked up to my smaller tvs in my other rooms and I recommend this to all my friends and family. Its a great additional protective measure to have.
In short this product has saved me tons of money and trouble. I'm pretty happy that i went out and got this.

Wanted some solid protection for my home theater setup (i.e. Yamaha receiver, Samsung Blue-ray, Panasonic VT-50, and Definitive TechnologyMythos STs). Very happy with the build quality and protection offered with this Panamax protector. It is easily able to handle the power requirements of my setup. And the aesthetics are nice as well, with the adjustable blue lighting.

Looks great, improved picture and sound quality (I think), tells me the amps/voltage at any given time, and has a lot of inputs.

I purchased two Panamax M5300-PM surge protectors and noticed
immediately an improvement in sound and picture. The setup
was easy and the Best Buy associate explained how to hookup
a Direct TV receiver to the surge protector. The input and outputs
are bidirectional for coaxial cables.

SO FAR SO GOOD

I am upgrading my home theater step by step (receiver, cables, power conditioner, tv, speakers) and am noticing the differences (both the obvious and the subtle) created by each upgrade. Each component has produced a noticeable performance improvement, including the Panamax 5300. I noticed a slightly more detailed and clean picture after connecting to it, I'm assuming as a result of electrical interference being filtered out. There are plenty of outlets and I like the idea of individual dedicated power banks. I can't comment on the surge protection because I haven't had (and hope to never have) a serious surge in my home. All things considered, this seems to be a quality built unit and a worthwhile addition to any home theater system.

Well Built, Albeit a bit Bright

When I was looking for power conditioners I immediately looked to Panamax, as they have a name and reputation for making good power conditioning products. I found out they were picked up by Furman, who is also very well-known for making solid quality products.
Looking at the line-up of Panamax products I turned to this one, which does pretty much everything minus voltage regulation. For the money I saved I think it was worth it and was still a good choice compared to the more expensive 5400. There are plenty of outlets on the back and the power cable that is included is not only beefy, but replaceable and has a nice retention clip in place. You can also rack-mount this thing down the road if you choose to do so.
My only gripe about this unit is the overly bright lighting. I think it's super cool, but a lot of people will hate it. There is a way to turn the lighting to dim or even off I think and that will save people a lot of grief down the road. Aside from that this is a great unit and did make a difference in taking some of hiss out of my stereo. Mind you this could be placebo, but you're really buying this as insurance for your electronics.

ULTIMATE PROTECTION FOR A GREAT PRICE

I have been wanting to buy this unit. Not only it serves the purpose, the reviews are AWESOME in any web site you check. The best part of it is the deal I got for this unit. I agree with previous comment, I noticed a big difference in the picture quality for my SONY 75 inch 4K UHD TV. Sound is crisp and I like the intrsumentation panel. I hooked up my Denon amplifier, BOSE system, Xbox One. This is the ultimate protection for your high end investment. Highly Recommended.

Much better than the Monster unit I purchased five years with a small form factor, but just as heavy, no support from Monster after the unit failed for something so expensive you think there be some kind of compensation or offer to repair it.
