Wired lab tested surge protectors and made this their singlular recommendation. Internals wear out or blow and you fail to check the lights cause it's tucked away, leaving you without protection. Not this one. Worn out or blown and it won't provide juice - you know you need to replace. Only way to go.
It seems like a robust unit and well reviewed which is why I got it. It is buried in a cabinet holding electronic components though I can still see the monitoring lights. I want to protect those components that I cannot unplug easily when I'm away. I personally could live without an 8-foot cord which takes up a lot of room but it makes it useful for other uses than mine. It is a difficult thing to review something that stands by until trouble. None of us will know it works properly until the warning lights tell us it handled a surge and our electronics still work.
Used to protect computer and peripherals. After about 10 years a storm fried one of my house breakers and the old surge protector but saved my two computers and related equip.
I like the way the surge protector is laid out for different plugs. The only way I'll know if protects my electronic equipment is if there is a power outage or lightning storm.
This is a very nicely designed product...it easily accomodates up to 2 transformers

I have used Tripp-Lite Surge protectors for several years. Presently I have 5 in service. Their customer service was helpful and had one of my Isobar Touchmaster Plus units quickly repaired and returned to me after a lightening strike/surge several years ago. Their lifetime warranty covered the repair without a hassle.
