FWIW, I bought my PI EMS-HW30C almost 10 years ago and have not plugged in a single time since without it
Over the last 10ish years, it has failed to connect one time due to a power pedestal problem.
Where it really shines, though, is that over the same time frame, it has connected fine, then disconnected much later due to low voltage (hot summer days and lots of air conditioners running) probably 6 to 8 times. That low voltage, repeated on occasion, can kill an air conditioner. The air conditioner dying due to repeated low voltages would have cost me much more than the cost of the EMS.
That is why I laugh when I read a post where someone says he doesn't need an EMS because he checks the voltage before plugging in. Before plugging in, it is probably fine. It gets to be a problem in the late afternoon when he is no longer watching the voltage.
