OK, this might be another one of those subjects like washer/dryers, where those who need them REALLY need them, and can't live without them.
I say again, 5.5 years on the road, no problems.
Those of you who say their EMS has "saved them" - how do you know? A temporary drop below or above the EMS threshold probably won't do any damage to anything, but everything on the rig shutting off at once? No thanks, I don't want the hassle.
But hey, if you feel you need it, go ahead.
I see absolutely no correlation between a washer and dryer and protecting your washer/dryer/TV/stereo/ete.etc. from surges/brownouts/etc.
one stormy night in Austin all heck broke loose and when the lights came back on, all units around me were dark, mine was light as it was protected. and what exactly is the "hassle" that you refer to? I am saved the hassle of buying and installing all new electrical appliances.
but go ahead and live your charmed life and lets see, 5 years, $250, $50 a year so far and many more to go.
