Power Watchdog HUGHES AUTO Autoformers PWD30-EPO-H Smart Bluetooth Surge Protector Plus EPO with Auto Shutoff - 30 Amp Hardwire Version

After reading all the reviews I decided to go with the hard wired version of the Watchdog. I wanted to be able to pull into a site, plug in, and know I'm protected. It also keeps the process of set-up easier for the family to help with by not adding another step in the process.I didn't experience any of the issues most were in the hardwired Watchdog(a loud hum). I did alter my install with those reviews in mind. When installing mine I noticed that one of the install brackets had a little amount of movement. Anyone that spends time around transformers, welders, and other electrical equipment know that electrical components hum along with the AC oscillation. It shouldn't be noticeable on such low current as a 30a or 50a surge protector, but I could see how a loose bracket inside a closed compartment could make it sound worse. I solved the loose bracket issue with wrapping the steel bracket with electrical tape. I experience no hum and mine is completely enclosed within the electrical chord compartment. I hope this helps others that experience this issue.There are 2 possible CONS to the unitFirst possible CON to the unit is when you completely enclose the unit it makes it impossible for you to read the error codes without opening the compartment or using the app. Familiarizing yourself with the app and if possible installing it within a compartment that is easier to access then mine would solve the issue.Second possible CON is the light on the unit is super bright if you mount this unit in the open area of the RV/Trailer it will definitely be a large light source. Not an issue with mine as its completely closed off

Replaced a other brand non-Bluetooth surge protector. I like that it doesn’t take 128 seconds to engage.Fairly large, but works well and no humming contactor.

First one I received had an issue, I called and had a new unit within a week. It works perfectly and is so helpful for monitoring amps and voltage on my phone. Bluetooth connection via their app is awesome. So glad I got this, no more need to check every pedestal with my volt meter.

Happy with my purchase. The unit works as advertised. Customer service has outstanding response time, which I found great. Had no clue low voltage was an issue in campgrounds before installing this unit. Worth the investment to protect the RV.

Very easy to install, a little big but not that much of an issue.
