Brick Wall, too.Is the same technology
Surgex is too expensive for what it is.
People drank the koolaid and pay their prices
An electrical storm that completely charred circuit boards and components in my whole house generator and another appliance. So I’m sticking with the zero surge.Define close.
I'm just saying the closer the actual event is to your place (if that's a general concern in the first place) that any surge protector may not offer protection to devices plugged in. Close enough and your stuff is just fried if connected. I haven't lived in a particularly high lightning area for a long time and don't worry about it much, but my EE grandfather during lightning storms would simply unplug stuff My electrical service has generally been good without special needs.An electrical storm that completely charred circuit boards and components in my whole house generator and another appliance.

Fair enough. I do unplug everything when I’ll be away for a while, and that’s the best way to protect equipment if you have advance warning.I'm just saying the closer the actual event is to your place (if that's a general concern in the first place) that any surge protector may not offer protection to devices plugged in.

Not helpful ...Just bought another 8 outlet ZeroSurge unit for the HT, GREAT company with excellent product and made in the USA.
Don’t like the price… don’t buy it!
I've used an 8-outlet Brick Wall for the past 18 yrs. or so and it was worth every penny. I think it was $250 at the time but now sells for $300 and change.
People tell you buy used models off ebay except they’re all racks and super old models too and they want hundreds
Some dude selling a 10 outlet SurgeX for $450 and is a 2012 model no way
These surge protectors are ridiculously overpriced. SurgeX wants $650 for a stupid 10 outlet protector. Even zero surge is like $300-350 for the 8 outlet models.
If you have to buy used you cant afford it then, it shouldn’t cost this much in the first place.
Theyre taking advantage of yall and your fear of losing your gear yeah maybe it works better than mov but it should NOT cost this much they ripping yall off. Thats why they shit on MoV so much is their business model literally they have videos crapping on MoV yet everyones uses mov with no problems except rare cases
$650 or even $1000 for a glorified surge protector. It seems their prices keep going up and up as well as my google search revealed they used to cost less
As much as Id want a 10 outlet one, im not paying $600 for this shit is absurd
Even the 2 outlet is expensive and defeats the purpose as youll need a power strip with it. The power strip will forever be the weak link that could catch fire one day and is another item occupying space
For performance metrics, here are the specs for the unit I bought.Not helpful ...
It has been shown here, countless of times, that price is not an indication of performance..
Nor is country of origin...
What are the performance metrics that make these products "excellent"?
Peace.
Yep! A couple of MOVs, outlets, a box & a cord are pretty cheap. Also, including a fuse or circuit breaker is a good idea, even if equipment used with the box is individually fused.Build your own- save a fortune.
I honestly think Zero Surge used a classic peak clipper: a FW bridge and a big cap. Maybe they stuck a honking Transzorb across the cap.Yep! A couple of MOVs, outlets, a box & a cord are pretty cheap.
Possible, that that approach sounds a bit pricey.I honestly think Zero Surge used a classic peak clipper: a FW bridge and a big cap. Maybe they stuck a honking Transzorb across the cap.
Doesn't have to be. Just a FWB and a cap.Possible, that that approach sounds a bit pricey.
I look forward to your providing us with evidence, including the company's cost of raw materials, fabrication equipment, employee salaries, insurance, facility rent/mortgage, R&D, etc. Obviously to make this claim you have the information readily at hand.These surge protectors are ridiculously overpriced.
Ahh, I love the smell of anecdata in the morningWe had a close lightning strike that took out other equipment in our home but not this. So go ahead and LOL.
This is gods way of telling you it was time to upgrade.
