LF Recommendation: Surge Protectors
« on: December 28, 2012, 03:18:09 PM »
Looking to get one or two surge protectors for a friend.

What is it for?
 - Flat screen TV
 - Wii
 - Cable box/Modem
 - Laptop

Very simple. Don't need anything over the top. I see Wizz has a few but I just need to know what's important in selecting one especially as this is for a place in the curepe/st augustine area, and for those who know people/live/work there, you know there are frequent power issues in that area ie dips, surges, outages etc.

Buy a LINE CONDITIONER/AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator).

They're very cheap (like under $200)

Pricesmart have some Tripplite ones for under $200 too.

I have a ups with built in avr and it works wonderfully in protecting my LCDtv, laptop, HT receiver and modem/router from the random low voltage drops and transformer blowouts common to my area.

The Energizer ones are cheap and work well. Can't go wrong. You'll find them at pricesmart.
