I was surprised to see the portable units are not UL listed. Wondering the reason. Am I missing something?

Looks like some of the units are UL and Canada approved and others are not. I suspect the lower cost units are not, most likely they either won't pass the tests or Progressive doesn't want to pay the cost to have the units Listed. There is no national law requiring UL approval but many local fire codes do require such safety approval by UL, ETL, CSA, etc. Most companies will have their products safety approved by one of these agencies just for liability protection. Personally I would not use an unapproved unit unless it was Low voltage (considered low voltage when below 30 volts).
