Only ever used Siemens phase loss monitors. They managed to do their job. Siemens is a pretty good bet most times.

Lets face it... these days it's pretty much the same thing with all of the major manufacturers. If you get a device that has no flaws, it will do its job to the end of its designed life span and often times for much longer. Get a dud and it will die on you.

As the saying goes... "You pay your money and take your chances".
