4 months, but started to auto shut down [for no visible reason] and would then restrict the battery charging capability of the charger on the vehicle. The Tripplite was removed and the car started recharging as necessary. The charger on the vehicle is a simple 110V device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had my Isobars for so long now that I almost forgot I have them. All my sensitive and expensive equipment is plugged into my Isobars. Everything from the construction, top quality materials used to even the cord, my Isobars are still in use. Through power surges and blown transformers, my Isobars have proven they can handle anything.
There are other surge suppressors/protecters on the market, and many are from well known name brands, and are less expensive than the ISOBAR. None have the ISOBAR's solid metal housing and construction. I also have experienced first hand the protection capability first hand, when it protected some sensitive and expensive equipment from damage from a surge. The warranty? Also top rate. There may be cheaper Surge Protectors, but unlikely you'll find one better.
I bought this to replace a surge protector that had incredibly bright lights on it and kept me awake at night. I have seen the Isobar used in businesses for years, so I figured they must be good. I purchased one for myself and when it arrived, it's built like a tank. I could throw this thing across the room and it wouldn't hurt it (not that I would). I have a Visual Studio 2010/Photoshop CS4 system hooked up into this surge protector and I feel that if there a major storm came through, this would probably explode before my system would ever go down and I'm okay with that. I have personally seen the components inside one of these and everything is properly rated. I'd definitely buy again and again.
