Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I haven't had the chance to destructively test this yet, however the overall product is great. -build quality: (Aluminum housing, thick wire, sturdy and tight sockets, held together by 10 screws), -great design (small plug footprint angled at 45 degrees will never block other outlets, nice wall/bench attachment hangers on the back, and serious look) -electronics: Inside you will find two PCB's, one for control lights and another for the main protection elements. The main board contains: -Large movs (9 in total) correctly rated for the application. -HRC fuse. -Large filter chokes + common mode chokes. -1KV rated line filter capacitors, etc. etc. -thermal detection The electronic components are not top brands, but all are correctly rated. E.g. the line Capacitor is branded "Carli" which is an acceptable Chinese brand - and even brands like "Bourns" are making most of their stuff in China, so those guys are getting pretty good at this. On the other hand, I am not happy that they depict "blue" MOVs (presumably from Bourns) in the circuit picture on their product page, but use the cheaper Chinese versions in actual products. that is a tad deceptive, but oh well, I guess the marketing guys just couldn't stop themselves from being evil! The protection circuit topology is simple but follows sound design. The wiring is rated for high current draws and large fault conditions. The earth connections are done correctly and the earth path is extremely heavy gauge. Very very sound engineering. Looking at the circuit, this is probably overkill for small/medium sized appliances, but hey, you can never have too much protection!
