Question Surge Guard; is one better than another

Hi,

Read and heard of horrible things happening to units that were either unprotected or inadequately protected from surges. We're going to purchase a surge guard today. Want to get the best one for our 30a Bambi. Would appreciate your suggestions on what you have found to be the best product. We know a good surge guard is expensive, but then again, look at what it is protecting - a dream of a life time!

Thanks in advance

How About A Voltage Booster

Bojo,
If you really want to protect your investmet you may want to consider a Voltage Booster. This will protect you from surges and low voltage. They are a little more expensive, but like you said...

Hi Bojo, I bought a Progressive Dynamics last year and it quit this week and the readout says to replace, so tomorrow I will know how good their warranty and let you know. I like the way it works and I think it was like $239.00 or close to that.
