A lot of electronics failures are blamed on bad power, when they're just
poorly made to start with. Convenient excuse for the manufacturer facing a
warranty claim. This has been going on since the early 80s when the phony
power filtering racket got its start as an add-on to PC sales when margins
started to shrink after the initial IBM PC blitz. Lots of propaganda.

Perhaps many are sold on the basis of propaganda, but a machine shop
is a very different situation to most homes and offices. Big motors
and other bits of kit starting and stopping can put all kinds of crap
on the line.
