2/14/18 - I purchased two Tripp Lite Isobar Ultra in mid-January and have found them to be at excellent value to price purchase. I utilize these politics to protect laptop chargers and computer, printers, modems, TV and other electronics. Solid and well made.
Pros: Compact, Good Cord Length, Great Protection, Green Friendly, Warranty, Well Built / Quality, Well Labeled
I use the Tripp-Lite ISOBAR for my Incline Machine. It was constantly tripping the breaker and this is the ONLY product that prevents this from happening. I am constantly recommending this product to all my friends and family. Thank you....thank you....thank you!
I use this product for protection on my pellet stove CPU. I live in a rural area in Canada and the power is very unreliable all times of the year and it is critical in the winter for heating the house. I will never lose the CPU now to a power surge!!!!!!
I am a ham radio operator and had my equipment plugged into one of these Isobar suppressors when lightning struck in my back yard with no hint of a storm in the area. The stroke took out my telephone, clock radio, refrigerator, a/c air handler and a circuit board in the garage door controller. Similar damage was experienced by the neighbors behind me and on either side. Every piece of radio gear I had turned on and plugged into the Isobar Protector showed no damage at all. So, I bought two more of these for our ham club remote sites where we operate radio repeater systems on towers at high elevations, which are real "lightning rods." No electrical equipment damage attributed to lightning since these were installed and equipment plugged into them. I live in Central Florida, where the summer thunderstorms can be VIOLENT, and usually, we get at least one-every-day. I don't think it's "magic," so it has to be the Isobar Surge Protector that has eliminated problems I've previously experienced from these big bolts from the sky. Prior to purchasing them, equipment was suffering transient lightning damage on a regular basis even though we have good grounding systems.
