I didn't look it up but I think the ones with the black button must have a fuse in them and so if something trips the fuse - it is only the one in the power strip and not the house fuse.
The black button is a reset button.
just my thinking on it.
I don't think i would buy the cheapest one, i usually get a mid range product. Just my feelings on it.
I think the lowest price ones are mostly for use as a extension cord w/ multi plugs.??
I think you would want some level of surge protection to protect appliances.
some say power strip and some say surge protection.

Okay!!! one answer down, and one more to go.
I will buy a surge protector thingee. They all have 5 or 6 outlets but I'll only use two. I will buy one that has the two things. an on/off or an off/reset. One of the ones I saw yesterday said "OFF/RESET and it had a black button thingee and it was $8.50.
the cheaper ones had no black button, but had an on/off one.
So the next question is "Is there a particular amp thing I need to look for because I'm plugging in a 1500 watt convection and a micro. The micro (I believe is around 1000 watts). I'm not using it for cooking, just heating up stuff, but I'm learning how to heat up stuff in the convection.
It's amazing that I had this Farberware thing in my closet for over 20 years and never used it.
I got lazy and bought in grilled chicken and made meals from already cooked stuff.
No more. I cook or eat raw and feel much better for using my sprouts in all my meals.
And brother, when you go to the bathroom, YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM.
I could eat this way for the rest of my life, (if only to keep feeling nice and regular, if you get my drift).
