300W is a good choice of size for most applications. You don't need one of the more expensive "sine wave" type ones for modern TV/Video/Laptop etc

Sadly (imho) they are all made in China and are all pretty much of a muchness, so you just have to pick one you like the look of :roll: Just make sure it ships from the UK so you get it quicker, and if there are any problems, it's easier to deal with a UK supplier.

Slight aside = I tend to use Amazon a lot more than eBay these days. The reasons are, because you can look at a products feedback, not just the sellers performance, plus the Amazon returns procedure (if you need it) is, in my experience, a lot more efficient.

I've used a few other the years, current one has lasted the longest, runs the coolest and has a couple USB ports on it which can be useful. It's a 300W Belkin unit.
