I've seen threads where some people recommend surge protectors and where others say it's not even necessary and a power strip would be better. They also mention whole house protection at the main electric panel. Is this true and why do other also start recommending other types of equipment like power line conditioners, psu's, and/or automatic voltage regulators instead?
TBH I'm very confused as to what the difference between these things are. But even looking at reviews on Amazon when it comes to certain surge protectors from Tripp Lite, Belkin, and APC for instance, people start mentioning problems with the fire hazards they've had as well as other negatives. So it's hard to know which reviews to trust anymore.
So if any of you reading this wouldn't mind suggesting what works for you that is as cheap as possible, yet still does what it's supposed to, then that's all I need. Thank you guys.
