Well, I'll chime in about the SurgeGuard unit.
I've used the portable SurgeGuard 50 amp unit for about 5 years with no issues. It works like it's supposed to and has shut down when necessary, and not allowed the current through when first plugged in, like it supposed to. No complaints so far.
yep, used my 30 amper for 2-3 times that long with no "lifetime" repairs needed. perhaps if they fail a bunch, they have to give that guarantee?

Nice try, but nope.
They are both good units I'm sure. Looked at both myself. However, the company who owns SurgeGuard is Southwire of North America. A monstrous corporation that is all about productivity and the bottom line. Nothing wrong with that, making money is what makes the world go round. PI is still family owned and operated and about making money too I'm sure. But there not part of corporate America and still care about customers and the companies reputation as well as standing behind their products. Research them both enough and you'll see for yourself which one fails the most and which company stands behind them when they do.
