Digital camera reviews of Tripp Lite ISOBAR8ULTRA 8-Outlet ISOBAR Surge Protector (3840 Joules)
Digital camera Review: Provides great protection. Very durable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I literally own about 10 of these. I have them on every electronic device that doesn't require battery backup (e.g. computers, entertainment centers).
It's nuts not to have either a good surge protector (not the junk you find in hardware or office supply stores) on multi-thousand dollar electronics or even $200 microwaves or rechargers. I had neighbors that lost their microwaves and televisions when we had storms.
It amazes me that people spend so much money on electronics and won't spend a penny or buy a $12 "surge protector" which is just a power strip.
I have a high-end washing machine that had to be repeatedly repaired because the electronics were fried due to the terrible electric supply quality (constant outages, brown-outs). Eventually, the warranty service told me they wouldn't make any more repairs unless I had a surge protector. I bought one and the washing machine hasn't had a problem in over 7 years.
I also have a fairly expensive refrigerator that's loaded with electronics. I put a Tripp Lite on that and every other electrical device in my house and I have never, ever had a device failure.
I'm astonished that people buy a new expensive electronic device and not use any surge protection. Probably the same type of people who never back up their hard disks and then go nuts when they lose years worth of data.
Digital camera Review: Rock Solid Dependability
Summary: 5 Stars
By far the finest surge protector available on the commercial market. Checks grounding. eliminates EMF and hum. Excellent for digital recording and live music applications.Digital camera Review: Rugged and heavy duty
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this unit because it had a more "industrial" look and feel than others. It has a few design elements that I really like as well. It has a 12' cord - solid metal enclosure - 3840 joules of protection - off/on/reset switch - low profile 90 degree plug - fault, line OK, protection present indicators and a 12 amp breaker. I couldn't find the country of manufacture on the unit, the box or documentation inside the box, so I called. It was -- of course -- made in China. If I had been able to find a similar product made in the US, or anywhere else I would return this in support of those areas. Alas, no luck. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the product, I simply have several problems with supporting China.Digital camera Review: SURGE PROTECTOR

I plugged it in and it works.
I guess i will have to be hit by lighting to see the true value of this product.
Digital camera Review: Solid product
Summary: 5 Stars
Solid construction, good quality. It's probably overkill for what I need, but better safe than sorry. Has a long cord to reach your outlet. I don't use it with adapters, but I figure if you have a small one it might not block the neighboring outlets.
