Perfect for a generator 
2008-09-16
If you use a generator or have poor quality power, this is a must for sensitive equipment. I originally purchased a UPS to help filter power from a generator to some computer equipment. To my dismay the UPS would switch every few seconds from battery to line power and quickly drain itself. Putting this voltage regulator between the UPS and generator resolved this. It happily put out clean power even as motors and power tools kick in on the same circuit.

I have used APC LE1200 voltage regulators for a couple of weeks. I have had no problems so far. I have noticed high voltage indication on the unit many times and am glad that this device is there to protoect my expensive electronic gadgets. I chose it because of APC's brand name and I guess it is one of the best makes in the market.
More important that you may realize 2008-08-03
A surge protector is not enough. Brown outs are far more frequent than catastrophic lightning strikes, especially with poor/cheap electrical wiring in your home. You can hear this thing catching problems, "click", when the AC turns on, or you turn on 5 things at once, like your computer, monitor and all it's peripherals. I love mine. All 5 of them. (and these new ones are smaller than the earlier models were 6/7 years ago!)
Useful device 2008-07-03
I bought this unit for work. We have an HP 4600 color laser printer that had some unacceptable color streaking in its' output. I ran multiple field service diagnostics and controller resets to no avail. It was concluded that the power supply or the DC controller board in the printer were probably bad. To prevent the spotty power in the building housing the printer from causing this issue to recur if we paid for an expensive service call, I ordered this unit. I hooked the APC voltage regulator up to the printer in preparation for the service call and thought to run one more test on the printer. The voltage regulator apparently cleaned up the power issues enough that the output came out crisp and unstreaked. Fairly amazing. That was a month ago and we still have not needed to contact a service tech for the printer as the output has been decent ever since we put this unit between the printer and the building power outlet. Definitely worthwhile if you have dirty power lines.
Worth it's weight in electronics... 2008-01-29
This thing is heavy, which is usually a good sign for this type of product. It does what even good UPS's don't, and that's regulate your power even when it fluctuates mildly. Sure, many products will protect you from 140V+ or turn on at 90V, but that's still enough to burn out everything from a simple wall wart power brick to a DVR from dishnetwork. I know, as I've experienced such things with my crappy Los Angeles power service. In afternoons, it'll drop to 110V, and if I use the garbage disposal, a laser printer, or turn on my stereo and 2 amplifiers, voltage drops below 108V. This is enough to destroy many sensitive products over time. It's so bad in my house, that it's destroyed two UPS's by forcing them to click on and off so much and to compensate for low voltage so much they burned out!
The APC LE1200 prevents this damage. It clicks on and returns voltage levels back to around 120V at a level high enough that your electronics don't get damage before they are protected (what's the point of protection that only helps once the damage is done?). I know it's working because I can hear it click on, and return power to the right levels even as my house voltage sits at 106-108V (confirmed by the voltage meter in my Panamax).
I'm so impressed with the performance of this unit in my home theater that I bought 2 more, one to protect my computer (it installs between the UPS and the wall to protect the computer and the UPS), and one for my plasma TV (because it's located away from my HT equipment). At $50 a piece, this thing is a no brainer. A quality UPS is 3-5x as much and still doesn't protect your equipment as well. And it can burn out. The LE1200 has little chance of burning out, so for equipment that doesn't need battery backup, or even to feed a UPS, this product is the way to go.
Power to the computer 2007-04-05
The Line-R is a microprocessor controlled tap changing power conditioner, which automatically corrects brownouts and overvoltages, and stabilizes chronic line voltage variation. Line-R also provides multi-stage surge suppression and full-time EMI/RFI filters to handle all the problems your equipment is likely to face. A voltage meter on the Line-R's front panel displays the relative input voltage level and alerts you to low or high voltage conditions. A front panel surge protection integrity light indicates the health of the circuitry. In addition, an audible alarm alerts you to extreme input voltages that cannot be corrected to within the normal output voltage regulation band. Line-R automatically performs self-tests, and its "adaptive mode" also senses and corrects frequent tap changing, thereby reducing wear on the relays for a longer life span and quiet operation.
Voltage regulator 2007-01-09
Simple solution for an insurance against a potential problem. You can spend hundreds more a Monster version. I got it for my LCD television for brown out conditions. Should make my TV last longer. It doesn't have a readout on it so I am not sure what my actual voltage is coming into my house. I have it feeding into my Monster power strip. It gaurds against both power surges and drops unlike the power strip that only controls surges.
