Review on Tripp Lite Protector INSURANCE TLM606 by Aries Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best of its kind, but without a metal base.

Really wanted an all-metal bandpass filter, but couldn't find one with a metal bottom (the plastic bottom could melt/ignite if overloaded). All sides are metal and the bottom is plastic. The best I could find (studied many others that were of dubious quality and/or insufficient features). Benefits -1. Well-known, trusted brand (don't trust my safety to unknown brands).2. Separate devices for protection and grounding.3. Resettable circuit breaker inside.4. Disabling the stripe when removing protection. It is important. This type of surge protector has a limited protection capacity that gradually decreases as it absorbs surges (that's what the Joule rating stands for - the higher the Joule value, the higher the overall protection capacity). Many surge protectors continue to provide power even when the protection is gone, which is dangerous. This one won't, so you'll know when to buy a new one.5. Very good price for quality and features.6. metal plates. Cons-1. plastic bottom.
