I had this for getting a little over a year without having to experienced any problems. A few days ago, I plugged an awfully small space heater engrossed and after minutes, the force center blew. The TV, DVR, and heater all turned off where there became a loud high-pitched tone coming from the power center. It won't reset so it's destined with the trash. I believe certain there were no power surge as little else the even flickered. I expected more from the brand.
