We moved from the Chicago-area to Central Florida a few years ago, which we subsequently found out is the "lightning capital of the United States". Long story short, we had the electric company put in a whole-house surge suppressor which covers the major appliances. However, smaller things need to be plugged into a surge suppressor. The electric company provided a few for our use, all of which were Tripp Lite. We then ordered a bunch of different suppressors in order to have enough protection for virtually everything we plug in. All of our suppressors are Tripp Lite, including 4 of theIsobar 2-outlet 1410. I owned a recording studio years ago and never used anything but Tripp Lite suppressors. Have never had an issue and don't expect one. They work fine and are built to last and to do the job.
Trusted Protection for Friedrich Mini Split Heat Pump

I installed this on the outlet which operates my mini split HVAC. Because this is the most difficult "appliance" in my home to install AND the extended warranty does not cover surges UNLESS there is a surge protector installed I went with this model and am well insured. BTW, the Friedrich unit has a normal 110v plug so this matched my needs perfectly.
The front facing receptacle coupled with the thickness of the unit means that any cord plug then protrudes from the wall about four inches. This distance is too great when using behind standing appliances or behind furniture. Put the outlets on the side of the case.
Pros: Good Cord Length, Great Protection, Warranty, Well Built / Quality, Well Labeled

I used several of these to protect and isolate network switches from other large power tools in a painting and welding shop. I connected the switches directly to the ISOBLOK's. Perfect for what I needed. No complaints!
Samsung sent out a repair technician to fix our TV under a court ordered warranty issue. The Repairman said our resistors were bulging due to to fluctuations in current feeding our TV, most likely from minor drops/surges in voltage when people in the neighborhood cycle their A/C units, etc... He strongly recommended buying the Tripp-lite suppressors. So we bought three of these dual outlet jobs, along with a couple of 4 and 6 outlet models and have all of our valuable electronics plugged into them. We've had them in place for the last three years with no problems.
This is our third Tripp-Lite device and it meets the need of providing high quality protection at a reasonable price. Sometimes the multi-outlet units are needed for media or computer centers, but this simply two outlet unit was perfect for our high end Roland electronic piano. As an electrical engineer, I love the design and focus on protection, unlike the cheaper surge protectors that are sold everywhere. The lifetime guarantee speaks to the quality and confidence the engineers have in their design. It's worth the little extra you pay to have the best insurance in the business.
