The surge protectors that are sold by Quantum Products look exactly like their commercial counterparts (e.g. whatever companies surge protectors they are using at the moment), both on the inside and outside. What they do to them they don't say, but I imagine that they "treat" them, maybe cyrogenically or magnetically, or maybe something else. Whatever it is, it does make a difference, as I once compared a the exact same power strip that I got from Quantum Product and a local hardware store, and my tolerance for the local environment was obviously different. You could have done a double-blind test on me and I'd be able to pick which was which, even though they appeared to be exactly the same.
That all said, don't expect miracles. If you are very sensitive and bothered by your current environment, one surge protector could help a little. But if you're not that sensitive, then you may not notice any difference.
