Hey Professor95,
Why can't I use this instead of multiple smaller surge protectors?
It's what I use in my house.GE SurgePro
Thanks

You can - but consider this: The device you referenced is NOT a series connected protection device between the power source and appliance. Your device is parallel to the appliance. Thus, while it may catch a spike or surge, it will not disconnect the power source to the appliance like a portable plug-in device with an in-line fuse that opens if the MOV overheats and blows.
Your device is considerably safer from a fire hazard point of view.
