I am wondering if anyone has ever used any product from the company EMP Shield, or knows anything about their products?

I wonder how you test it?
That is something I am neither wealthy enough nor smart enough to do.
They test them in EMP chamber's.

But how would I test it myself?
Build your own EMP bomb?
There testing is excepted by the Department of home land security. All EMP Shield products are repeatedly and rigorously tested at the Keystone Compliance Facility.

The US military has done a lot of work hardening their electronics against EMPs....Problem with the power grids it cost so much that many utilities do not have the funds to even began the work.
Yes it is, only it is a very weak one. It is designed to only stop the weak EMP waves produced by itself. AND, do not forget the warnings. ----Do not use this device, IF YOU WEAR A HEART-PACEMAKER-----
Even the microwave itself --as a Faraday cage---cannot stop its own weak EMP completely.
The warnings go further---do not stand closer than 6 feet to this device while it is working--if you are PREGNANT!!
Thank you for your interest in our product. An EMP is an RF event, and the fast rising pulse generates destructive voltages inside the electronics. This is a true statement. except for the rise in voltage has no effect on the electronics. Voltage in and of itself is not destructive. Look at a stun gun, the produces 100,000 volts but doesn't kill you because there are no amps behind the voltage. Voltage produces current, current produces amp, and amp produces heat. Heat is what "Fries" everything in the electrical system. This is a process and like any other process, it takes time for this to happen. Granted it happens in microseconds which is fast. This is where the emp shield comes into play. The EMP Shield monitors the voltage in the system as a whole. No matter where the volt in the system comes from the system as a whole will rise and fall at the exact same time. Because of this the EMP Shield only needs to be a part of that system. Because we are looking for the voltage spike, not the amp spike we can get the voltage out of the system faster than it is able to produce the destructive heat. our units are functioning in the 500 trillionths of a second. If the destructive heat is being produced in the microsecond then our unit is able to get rid of this overvoltage faster than its ability to produce that heat.

Looks like an easy mounting system, if it works we'll find out after an EMP. If my daily driver would be more worth i'll think about. But for the moment I paid less for the car (300.-- 2 years ago) than the box costs....
Everyone I've seen has agreed it's a top notch surge and lightning protector at the least. For the Xtra cost, I'm hoping it protects against EMP also. In theory it should work.
They do work. They create there own electromagnetic field to control the voltage increases and direct them safely to ground.
I’ve used other whole house surge protectors. They are easy to wire in. These are faster acting than mine and are the state of the art, to my understanding.
