Please advise. Share your disappointment with such products. Do you regret? Just stick to normal power strip?

AVR is good if you using generator as power source and make sure voltage is stable

TNB power is robust enough, but definitely for me buying UPS instead.

AVR is good, but if got a bit more budget go for UPS instead if for PC. It have the benefit of AVR and UPS combined

AVR zero maintenance.

UPS need maintenance for every year or 2 years.

Damn I had that shit too during 1" time. No idea what it was that time other than a switch to flick on before powering on computer. Heavy and solid piece of brick, I wish it is still around.

But now I just use UPS

2 function
1. Stabilize voltage - keep your electronic life longer
2. Protect power surge during lightning or lousy power station
