Some of these devices are only surge suppressors. Maybe that's what the Surge Guard is.
And just for point of discussion.... there is a third class of product. The buck/boost transformer, such as the Hughes Autoformer. This thing increases the voltage when it dips...something that the Progressive Industries product only detects and shuts off.

The progressive protects against higher voltage as well as voltage drop. They are not cheap in the short run... but in the long run ...
