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.

This may not be the usual application, but I installed it to protect the electronic controls in our new refrigerator. I don't imagine that the normal refrigerator warranty would protect us against a voltage surge or a lightning strike but this will do the job. I had a question before I installed it and the technical staff was very helpful.

During my recent experience with Tripp lite, after two-years having their product. The product did its job wonderfully. In a camper where a 110v is supplied with 30 amp. The electrician changed it To 50 amps and made it 220v. Very common mistake with RV owners. Long story short. Everything that was not plugged to the Tripp lite was instantly fried. My tv, PC, Internet box are all still functioning- yet my internet box which cost me 120$ has been given me problems with the wireless ever since. When I called for warranty replacement - it was a matter of a few simple Questions and tada!! New Tripp lite sent to my door step. I will be buying 5 more in the upcoming months.

Terrible compared to prior models. Can't handle load.

This is an awful entry in the usually awesome Isobar lineup. I've been a fan of this company for over 20 years and their products have never let me down...until now. I bought four of these when they were on sale so I'd have them on hand when needed. Not until months later when I used the first one did I find out how cheap and awful they are. I grabbed one to hook the power inverter for our electric car to so it was protected from surges. It could not handle the load from this and constantly tripped off, which is really irritating when you expect a fully charged car in the morning, and you come out and it's stopped charging at 20% because the surge protector tripped off. I tried another one from my stash. Same problem. I tried an older Isobar that's maybe 10 years old - rock solid. Works as expected. So, I thought, well, maybe this inverter is running right on the edge, I'll used these for other things around the house. Tried it with TWO (only two) photography lights - same problem. It trips after just a few minutes of use - it's the ONLY surge protectors I have that do this, including all other Tripp Lite's I've tried. So, I've just decided this is a bad egg from Tripp Lite. Caveat Emptor. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come from them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
