Power Watchdog

I am looking at buying a 50amp surge protector and ran across a brand I had not heard of. A local RV supplier is selling Hughes Autoformers Power Watchdog for about 1/2 what a similar better known brand would cost. Anyone heard of the Power Watchdog and what do you think?

FYI, The Watchdog has an app that alerts you if your power goes down. Something I have not seem before. Not sure if or how it would call you if your not close enough to Bluetooth but if it does that would be really nice for those of us who work during the day and might need to know if power goes down........

Haven’t seen this one but Hughes has been around for many many years in the electronic business.

Jim is this something that takes the place of a Progressive Ind. EMS ?

After reading their web page https://hughesautoformers.com/ it seem that this is a surge protector NOT an EMS. They do make a voltage booster w/surge protector but the price is more than a Progressive Industries 50 amp EMS. If this is what you are looking for, check out Amazon. Saw one for 90 bucks +_.
