This is on our refrigerator to protect it from frequent surges, mostly due to power outages...but also to prevent 'dirty' power when we need to use our gas generator. Last fridge died (compressor) after just 5 years...maybe bad quality but I think more due to no surge protection. That's a pricey item to replace! Hopefully the new fridge will last a lot longer!
I use Tripp Lite products throughout our home - Tripp Lite UPS for our home computer network and various Tripp Lite surge protectors for our entertainment system, LED TVs and computer printers. This 2 outlet surge protector was perfect for my new cell phone booster system. It meets the booster system's minimum surge protection requirements at a very good price. It is extremely well constructed. The clamp bar keeps the unit securely attached to the outlet. I don't have to worry about the booster system becoming accidentally unplugged.
My Isobar Ultrablock-428 did just what it was supposed to do during some foul weather a few weeks ago. Our city power was fluctuating rapidly during heavy rain/lighting and one of the protection elements in the isobar took the hit and protected my TV/cable/vcr. I have used surge suppressors for years and have never seen one "do its job" and have often wondered if they were mostly hype. I can attest now that the Isobar works as advertised and have shown pictures of it to quite a few people. (I took the case off and saw a burned up device.) Thanks for making a great product.
I purchased the isobar surge protector several years ago and it did its job time and again. When it could no longer function properly, i contacted Tripp Lite with the serial number of the product and they replaced it free. They stand behind their products and so do I. I have recommended this product to friends. Thank you Tripp Lite.
I bought this to use with my water cooler. The previous water cooler had been plugged into an outlet only and after a summer power surge was fried. So this time around I am using the Tripp Lite Ultrablok and it has been working like a charm. We had a bad storm a couple weeks ago and my neighbors small appliances were all fried...I have everything on various Tripp Lite products and we had no issues. Very happy.
This unit sets up nicely and gives me confidence that my electronics won't fry. I've got it set up on my basement electronics panel to protect routers and wireless internet gear. It's simple, built well and doesn't buzz or make noise.
Not too often can one find a quality, reliable well made product for a good price. This product has a small footprint, excellent indicator lights and seems to be an excellent value: of course, I won't know for sure until an actual surge occurs, but then again, if the product performs correctly, then I may still not know!;
