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.

SurgeGuard seems to do all the above... It is more than just a surge suppressor... They've also added heat detection for an overheating outlet in newest models.
I've used it for years on both rigs with no issues (aside from it saving me from issues in campgrounds!!)
