    Item was shipped promptly. I have absolutely no hesitation to do business with Smarthome again.
    REV. JOHN CARL -- wurtsboro, NY   1/14/2010
    Easy to install for me (amateur with considerable experience with electrical wiring). Arrived timely. Good price. Can't tell how well it works-- until there's a power fault which I survive while others don't. Hopefully that will never happen to anyone. But having this unit installed gives peace of mind.
    STEPHEN C -- columbia, TN   1/6/2010
    Item came very quickly. It is not hard to install at all as long as you have some basic knowledge of the inside of your breaker panel. If the inside of your breaker panel looks like mission control to you...call an electrician, it's a 10 min job at the most.
    CHARLES S -- san juan pueblo, NM   1/5/2010
    Good Product Still. Installed and working.
    BLAINE -- los angeles, CA   1/4/2010
    If you have no need to flush mount this device in a finished wall, it should work fine. If you do have this need, you'll need a flush mounting plate from Intermatic that SmartHome doesn't sell, which was my situation. Ended up with the Leviton unit instead.
    MICHAEL -- omaha, NE   12/20/2009
    The item was as advertised and installed easily.
    DENNIS -- big bear city, CA   12/19/2009
    Have not installed yet.
    ROBIN -- charlotte, NC   12/17/2009
    Pros: heavy duty surge protector is a definite cut above regular power bar grade material. easy to follow installation instructions. LED give unambiguous clue of the protection status. Cons: none
    RICHARD -- burbank, IL   12/13/2009
    great service from smarthome. best price for product. No issues with product yet but only time will tell for what is supposed to do.
    HOWARD (WILL) -- santa cruz, CA   12/7/2009
    I got it installed and it past the first power failure/spike just fine. Thanks for the prompt delivery. 5 stars!
    E. -- lighthouse point, FL   12/6/2009
    The price is right and the protection for a small home perfect. Very easy installation. Can do it yourself if you know where your nuetraul block is in your panel and turn off the service main to your home.
    ALDO ANDRES CAL -- doral, FL   11/13/2009
    The surge suppresor is easy to install and seems to work Ok. I just think about the cables gauge because they are thin an that can limit the avercurrent protection.
    RAYMOND L -- cumberland, MD   11/12/2009
    Easy to install and working as advertised..
    LINDA -- richmond, TX   10/19/2009
    RECIEVED ON TIME. EASY TO INSTALL.
    CHARLES -- hudson, FL   10/15/2009
    Six more inches of leads and it would be perfect. Beats the Electric Co. offer for six dollars a month.
    RUSSELL -- comanche, TX   10/13/2009
    Easy to install as described. Have not had an incident to relate the ability of the product to work.
    KEN -- claremont, CA   10/8/2009
    Item was as expected, shipped quickly and was priced lower than locally available, even when freight was included. Thanks, nice experience!!! Ken
    DANIEL -- fairfax, VA   9/25/2009
    reasonably priced, clear instructions. It has a status light which is a big plus.
    ANTHONY -- lake orion, MI   9/18/2009
    Install preety simple. This one purchased to replace one that died in the line of duty. A surge from a failed transformer fried the previous one - did it's job, nothing else was lost.
    PHILIP -- tavernier, FL   9/17/2009
