I've used a Tripp-Lite line conditioner for years now. I recently bought this unit to replace it so the old unit can do duty elsewhere. I installed this unit on my home entertainment center. Good thing I did. My house has developed a bad neutral. If you're not familiar with this, it can cause all kinds of weird electrical problems. In my case, when I turn on the microwave (or another appliance) in the kitchen, the voltage goes up in my living room. Lights flicker all over the house. It's a mess. Luckily, my neutral line is not gone completely, but iffy enough to cause voltages in my house to vary between about 105 and 140 volts. A repair is scheduled in a few days. In the meantime, I'm keeping most of my electronics unplugged. At least I can still watch TV at night because of the Tripp-lite standing guard. It's interesting to watch the Tripp-lite work. When the voltage goes out of range, a relay inside the unit trips to bring the voltage back to normal. Indicator lights on the front let you know whether your voltage is low or high. The relay is loud, but if it's clicking a lot you have a problem that you should look into. My older unit is keeping my office computer safe. My house mate works from there and would be in trouble if he was suddenly unable to work while my house waits for repairs. Compared to the older Tripp-lite, a 1200 watt unit, this unit is bigger with a plastic case instead of metal and much lighter. If this unit serves me half as well as my older unit, I'll be well pleased.
