I have been using this ISOBAR4ULTRA for three months now & during that period my home was subject to some electricity surge during thunderstorms. well my TV ,DVD Player & LAPTOP have survived that surge ... i believe the ISOBAR4 did a great job . thanks !!
I have 3 of these and 1 of another model. We recently went thru Three Large power surges up here in Northern Minnesota, the third one burned out many line insulators for several miles of road. All the protected units including my computer came thru with flying colors. Keep up the good quality!!!!
I had a particular probleum with electrical interference in the home, causing our DSL router to drop off-line whenever the treadmill motor started up. I had tried several other approaches to solve this problem, without success. Some people had reported the Isobar might help. So, I gave it a try. It solved our electrical interference problem! The treadmill is now plugged into the Isobar and the DSL router is still on-line! Thank you!
I have a new treadmill that would occasionally trip my circuit breaker when it starts. I suspected the problem was the electrical signal given off by the treadmill when a large motor initiates. Since I have placed the Tripp:lite between the treadmill and my outlet that has no longer been a problem. Also I use the heavy-duty switch on the Trip:lite to start and stop, As it is much better quality than what came with the treadmill.
I have many of these devices. We are prone to power surges and power outages. The reputation they come with is second to none. I have had two of these fail and there was never any question when I requested a replacement. They are immediately shipped and all they ask is that you cut the power plug cord off. I'll continue to us the Isobar in every application including my RV where power surges are the norm.
This surge protector has very good specifications and in most applications will probably do a good job. It also has an excellent warrantee in case anything goes wrong while you own it. That said, the problem I had was that the built in circuit breaker would trip, in my opinion, way too early so if you plan to connect any device that has a large surge current, this is not the surge protector to use.
