Review on 💡 Tripp Lite Isobar 4 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip with 6ft. Cord, Right Angle Plug, 3330 Joules, Metal, Gray - $50,000 Insurance by Daniel Russell

To compare this to other devices you need to evaluate the surge protection parameters in joules and amps and also look at the limiting voltage. All in all, this is the best protection you can get for your money. This Tripp Lite device has a very high surge protection rating (3300 joules/85,000 amps). You won't find many surge protectors with such a high combined rating. It also has a clamping voltage of 140 volts. This means that it kicks in when voltage spikes are slightly above the normal 120 volts on your line. Some devices have a higher clamping voltage, some in the 300 volt range, meaning they are not as efficient. With a clamping voltage, the lower the better, as long as it is higher than the normal line voltage. 140 volts is ideal. (You'll need to go to the Tripp Lite website to find the clamping voltage spec.) It also comes in a sturdy metal box, meaning it won't melt like plastic if it experiences a surge. I bought it to protect the fridge in my new kitchen. If you have a modern fitted kitchen, you may not have enough space between the wall and the fridge to install a surge protector. I found a spot behind the pull out trash can right next to the fridge and drilled a hole in the side of the cabinet for the power cords. You can probably find a solution like this if your setup is tight. It's worth it for the peace of mind.
