Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is a serious, solid unit that hopefully will last a long time. Measured the output with a fluke multimeter and product works as advertised. Works exactly as intended.

Purchased this to level my incoming current fir my entertainment center tv. I have several of them at home, so my most critical equipment is under it's watch without too much hassle.

Quality


This device protects against voltage level changes and detects the correct position of the phase, neutral and ground terminals.


This is a serious, solid unit that hopefully will last a long time.


It turns out that every time they ran the dishwasher, the voltage in the place dropped to like 116 or less, wreaking havoc with our gear.


Power spikes and dips kept upc from switching off of battery mode.

Price


It gets the job done inexpensively as you can pay a lot for voltage regulators.


Best voltage regulator out there for the $$


I figure it's a small price to pay to protect expensive electronics.


Considering the size and weight, the price is a bargain.

Shipping


This thing came switched as 127v by default; i wasn't paying attention and a week later, it finally was too much for my ups.


I bought this regulator just before cold weather arrived so that we can run the tv, computer, etc.


Upc (battery backup) would not charge when house was on generator power.

Competitiveness


Later i found out that most chinese made audio gear uses transformers wound for 110v, and not 120v.


Most people won't need this, and would be better off just buying a ups.


They recommend setting the selector switch to 120vac for the usa.

    Not sure what folks are complaining about


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In my opinion apc has always made a good quality product


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Be aware that it works by physically switching to different taps on the transformer for each range transition and this does cause a very brief period of zero output

    But not recommended for modern electronics
