Review on APC P3U3B Surge Protector with USB Charging Ports: Safeguard Your Devices with 1080 Joules of Protection by George Bell

We live with daily blackouts, blackouts and surges. at least during the rainy season, which lasts 10 months a year. I've had tens of thousands of losses due to our public utility. I'm afraid to plug in anything without a surge protector (for good reason). We cannot protect our air conditioners, dehumidifiers or large appliances. The utility said we should have a whole house surge protector ($80,000). We didn't plan it when we bought the house. For the past few years I have used this surge protector when charging my tablet, phone and paper. All are still working. I have several devices from APC: surge protectors and battery backup (UPS). I've been using their devices for almost 20 years and have never had a problem plugging anything into an APC box. It's a very smart investment even if you don't have to deal with Hawaiian Electric ;)
