"Proseconomical for what it doesbest for devices not requiring LG or NG protection such as phone chargers, wall warts etc., mostly with plugs with 2 prongs, but less for desktop PCs, home appliances, HDTV etc., that need a groundbuild quality good for indoor use .. unit was disassembled and interiors examined for materials and build quality are as good as more costly surge protectorstested let through voltage, at least 250Vdc LN, NG, and LG ... but label on device says 600V, adequate for 120V purposes but is lower than specificationeverything works as described in instructionsconfirmed safety rated by Intertek for ID# 160103 made by HANGZHOU KAITE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CO., LTD. - Jiande, Zhejiang CHINA200 joules rating is sensitive enough to kill the unit from a surge while not generating much heat so the plastic casing can contain the flame outConsminus 1 star for the ffno lost ground indicator. its NG, LG protection are useless if ground is defective and no way to indicate this to the userno indicator to know if NG, LG are providing protection even if the ground were intactnote, many SPD designers are also guilty of two above flaws and cost much morecord is too short, leaves the power strip dangling in some installationsthe manual says the design is such that the mov are killed to protect your device in a LN fault, the protect light will go out, but the unit can still function"
