Bought this surge suppressor to protect the expensive digital controls on my new washing machine. Very impressed with the industrial grade metal housing. Installation was a snap - just plug it in. Have not had any electrical surges or lightning strikes to test it but the $10K insurance provides peace of mind.
This is the second one of these I've purchased. The first was to protect our washing machine. The main logic board went into a failure mode due to a power surge. Because of the high current draw of the motor a UPS wasn't practical. This surge protector turned out to be the perfect solution. The second one was purchased after another power surge caused our sprinkler system to fail with all the valves turned on. Since installing the protectors neither problem has reoccured.
I am using this to protect my sensitive electronics, including all of my power tools in my polebarn. I like the compactness of it. I trust in its ability to stop surges and spikes in their tracks, particularly in our security system with 19 cameras.
I have this for my pellet stove and it has already proved itself a worthwhile product. The power where I live is tenuous at best and goes out frequently. It seems to be a generally accepted notion that the mother board in pellet stoves are less than robust. The manual goes so far as to state that if the fuse is blown, so is the board. I do not quite understand that, but this has already saved me from finding out, and spending $200.00 plus, on a new board.
Installed the Isobar 2 outlet surge protector for my home computer & router. Very solid built product made from an extruded aluminum housing with a matte black finish. Plugs directly into the wall so it saves space and can be hidden easily behind my desk area. LED indicators display if the wiring is correct in the home and protection is available for components connected to the surge protector. I installed these due to a homeowners policy change... now my homeowners insurance will not cover any damaged electronics unless they are connected to a surge suppression device. If the surge suppression device is connected to the electronic equipment, and it is damaged, they then will cover it.
Although this has sort of an industrial look I like it! It allows you to utilize both plugs on a single gang box or all four plugs on a double gang box. And you get an extra outlet to boot. I now feel comfortable plugging my computer and stereo gear into the wall and not worrying about frying them every time there's a thunder storm. I have a whole house surge protector as well so this is insurance that pays off for once. Love them and will probably get one or two more as time goes by.
