Doesn't work and the company is not responsible for its warranty

I installed this arrester to protect my network equipment. We had a thunderstorm last week and I lost all of my networking gear. I have tried to contact the company as this item is said to have a 5 year warranty and I have received absolutely no response. Don't waste money! By the way, all my devices were also connected to the UPS. None of my other equipment connected to the same UPS was damaged. Only those connected to the cable modem and then to the attached ethernet cable. This company is…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some minor issues

My FM channels blocked!

FIRST: Please note that every negative review is followed by a 4 or 5 star review. These reviews mostly just say something along the lines of "great product”. These are fake seller ratings to increase the rating and make up for the negative ratings. Revain needs to find a way to detect this activity and penalize sellers for it. Ignore all easy ratings, especially 4 or 5 star ratings. OVERVIEW: After installing this on the coax on the antenna I immediately lost all VHF (2 - 13) channels…

It works! And I know it works because it has saved me thousands!

Good guys. I just came down the stairs from the embrasure on my roof. where I installed this little unit with a new outdoor antenna on the roof about 4 or 5 years ago. I fell in love with this product immediately. Here's why: We've been having storms here in Austin for the past few weeks, and after coming home from work a few days ago, our TV reception suddenly turned to crappy or non-existent. This morning I went to the roof to check the antenna alignment. The antenna was clearly struck by…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

This device has worked at least 5 times (last 3 times - at least 4 apartments lost cable "boxes" there - most of them were new people moving in - assume new cable modems/converters or something). I have a splitter at the output of this suppressor that is also grounded, that could theoretically help or would help for a variety of reasons. You might want to wrap this device in some soundproofing - the best way I can describe it is like a bullwhip snapping very close to you. If you are within ten…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Functionality

Looks normal, with a caveat

This review is a bit speculative because there's really only one way to know if it actually works and I'd rather not take a flash to find out. The product has been well recommended and appears to be excellent value for money. . It fits perfectly in the inlet box in place of the FF ground sleeve; The installation took all five minutes. The service was not affected after installation; There was no significant loss of signal on my dash cam's diagnostic screen. Internet access and speed were not…

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

A little insurance policy for all your expensive electronics

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Pros
  • Provides superior protection against surges and surges.
Cons
  • No Instructions

I finally got around to installing this after sitting on my shelf for three years. The whole project took about 30 minutes. - I didn't know the cable company had the ground already installed, so it was just a matter of replacing their ground with this ground. - I tested the internet speed before and after (four tests before/four tests after) and it didn't change at all. The TV still works fine. Today it is displayed on the outer brick wall. Ordered the lid and clips today, looks like another…

Pros
  • The protection element is designed to reset after each power surge, the service life is up to 1500 power surges.
Cons
  • Not sure

I've had it for two years to protect my downstream antenna system consisting of 3 HDHomerun units. Two days ago all signal was gone and I found it was coming from this device. I thought it was broken so I tried checking for a warranty. Despite what the listing says, there is actually no guarantee so forget about replacing it. However! I thought about the reset function. This should happen automatically, so I assumed that if it was dead, it really was dead, because otherwise it would have…

Pros
  • The unique linear design is virtually transparent to all analog and digital signals from DC to 1 GHz.
Cons
  • High price
