None of the reviews seems to have found it either, at least one Amazon reviewer said a rep told them it was 1200V, a second also claimed it was 1200V. The one saying 300V seems to be speculating. For anyone reading who doesn't know what this means, it's what voltage the protector will try to limit the voltage spike to and it's often recommended to look for 300-400V or less.
A different model of their protectors was recently called out for it's terrible clamping voltage so if they're unwilling to state it I ain't buying it.
Honestly, Anker need to get on top of this.

What would be nice is if anyone can find anything that officially states what it is. I checked the Amazon listing, Anker's website, and their PDF of the product manual and didn't see it.

Why 300v and not 1200v
Odd as I've never had this happen with mine. Could be a difference in versions since I bought mine a couple years ago.
Anyway, I came here to say my biggest concern before buying was its size. I thought it'd be huge, like half a text book size sitting by my wall. Turns out it's quite compact and not much larger than the traditional 6 outlet strips. This was a pleasant surprise and definitely made the purchase worth it for me. It also allows me to plug in a few weird sized adapter bricks so it served that purpose well.
Because if there's a power surge you don't want 1200V hitting your connected equipment.
Why not? 300v is also more than the 115v in my house.
