I no longer trust any of them. About 3-4 years ago, we had a lot of computer and router parts hooked into a surge protector with a $60,000 guarantee on it. In other words, the strip manufacturer would pay out up to $60,000 if the surge went through their strip and destroyed electrical devices that had been plugged into it. We had lightning hit our house one night and just about everything appliance in our house THAT WAS PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET failed, including all of our equipment on the electrical surge protector. Everything in our house that was NOT plugged in was fine. So we sent the electrical surge protector back to the factory for them to "inspect" it and they told us that it was fine and had no problems. When I talked to them on the phone about it and said that the surge went through their protector, they just told me that sometimes it's the static electricity in the air that kills the appliances and electrical devices, not necessarily the surge itself.
