used it for a couple years with no issues. only reason it's being replaced is because of an upgrade to a backup power supply - didn't like the TV turning off with power spikes.
The size of the surge protector is more than enough for my needs: a flat screen, PS4, and a few other electronics. The cord to connect to the wall is long enough that you don't have to be concerned about having everything placed next to the closest outlet. Luckily, I have not had the experience of any surge or anything of that sort. Based on outside reviews, this product is highly recommended and went forth with the purchase
I live in Florida the lightning capital of the world. I live on 7 acres surrounded by tall pine trees. It seems like lightning strikes close by at least once a month. I got a few of these after a lightning strike burned out my 90 inch tv and receiver. After several very close lightning strikes that I know of all of my equipment is still protected.
This is our second purchase. We took a direct hit from a lightening strike. The tripp lite surge protector saved two computers, a fax machine, and a phone system. We had to replace the tripp lite as the strike ruined the phone ports. That is a small price to pay for saving all the other office equipment and the headaches and time that goes with replacement. Everything that was not attached to a tripp lite ie: credit card terminal, lights, clocks were "fried" .
I shopped around quite a bit before I settled on this unit. I have been very happy with its performance. We've had some pretty ferocious weather here in Oklahoma especially this spring when the Moore tornado barely missed us. There were lots of power surges, and outages, while the utility companies worked to restore the shattered grid. This unit kept my PC and all it's periferials safe and sound. I have been very pleased with this purchase.
You can also use this TLP1008TELTV Surge Suppressor to protect your cordless phones, computer, printer,router, and any other electrical device that can be damaged by a sudden surge. It can easily handle up to four transformer plugs.
Having been in electronics for over 45 years, I know how important it is to keep the lighting serge away from my electronics. I live in Florida and have seen the lighting hit so close there was NO delay between the light flash and the thunder. I have used Tripp Lite for many years (I forgot when the 1st one was purchased) and yes I've had to get one replaced. I don't leave my computer turned on when not in use, and I turn the tripp lite off. The problem I had was that the power switch was turned on and off so many times it, I could hear a repeating spark. This was replaced with no problems!!
