I would also add that, just because an electronic device stops working doesn't mean that it was caused by a power surge. Very often, there is no way to determine if the damage was caused by a power surge.
Not interested in those who have no whole house surge protection. The focus is on if you have any surge protection in addition to the "point of use" protectors such as power strips, etc, what was your experience.
