This is not a review, it's more of a public notice. I have had TWO HTS5100MKII's Suffer a complete failure for no apparent reason. ONE was replaced under warranty, the other is now garbage. teespring.com/stores/the-head...

Don’t expect to get much from them currently, Monster is a shadow of their former selves on its last business legs.

I have a HTS MK2 3600 I cant even remember what year it was when I bought it, and I also have a Monster clean power bar HTS 1000 and it's even older than my HTS MK2 3600 they both still work beautifully. Considered picking up a 5100 BUT NOT after your video. YOU HAVE BEEN MOST HELPFUL THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

That same problem just happened to me. Yesterday everything was working normally, this morning my wife felt that something smelled like burning, and then I realized that the HTS was totally out of operation.

So your mad because they wouldn’t fix or replace your unit well after the 5 year warranty was up? First, no company does that. Second, I have a hts 3600, over 10 years old, still works fine. Last, $600 for a power conditioner is cheap! Go price an audioquest unit like the Niagra 7000

Thanks for this ,and yes I'm having a different problem with mine,My 5100 is clipping after about half hour of using it, So after it happened numerous times I took a chance and bought one off of eBay this one is the 3600,Well it looked new I hooked it up and it's running fine except it voltage is between 130-132, So I checked the back outlets and they all read 119-120 volts , So dam I don't know what to freaking do , I think time to just hunt for another new conditioner but definitely not a Monster, Thanks again 👍🔊

I guess that is why Monster Power no longer makes them and why they are no longer the juggernaut they once were. I had a HDP 2500 go south on me by triggering overvoltage protection even though the voltage was stable and in acceptable ranges. I am of the opinion that this type of protection power/ conditioner should NEVER fail.

My dad has had a HTS5000 for 16 years other than the light going burned out on the analog needle display has never had a problem with his, this pretty interesting you've had all these problems.

I have the hts 3600 Mll for 6 years now still working fine. I think if you got a good one you were good but if you got a bad one they would go down after a couple of years. Something to remember I don't know about you but if your in an area we're they have power problems you could get a surge when your not home and not even know about it and after about 3 surges there pretty much shot. I did move it one time and unplugged it and it took about 10 min to power up I think because it's checking all the lines for clean power and when it senses it then it powers up I thought I had ruined it but like I said after a bit it just came on and been fine for last 5 years since I moved it but total on time 6 years....I paid 100 bucks used for it...

Mine still resides in the box after moving and purchasing a PS Audio P10 rejuvenator sooo...probably just have it looked at or try to get schematic an check some waveforms with the O scope. Thanks for the heads up tho‼️💯 Ps: If you can find um, the ExactPower EP15 was a very good unit (& still being sold on the used market) but needs the 8, 100uf 12 volt caps replaced then good as new for a fraction of it’s original $2700 price tag.

Sorry you've had problems with it. I've always had luck with APC products.

That sucks . Companies should take into account the time the unit was down and at least add that time to the warranty period minimum .

I was interested in this and found an HTPS 7000 MKII, would that be a good alternative?

Hello I’m looking to get and extension cord for mine. How many amps do these put out?
@kenkobra
I purchsed mine from Ultimate Electronics for the same price over 10 years ago. Mine just went bad yesterday and ran across your video to see what it could be. What I found out is my portable oil heater caused mine to go bad. Once I plugged in the heater I noticed mine started blinking and would no longer works with the switched plugs.

Own 3 of the older versions with turquoise blue light and 1 Panamax. $55, $70 and $125 is what I paid (Panamax a bit more money). These Monster Power seemed to have gotten worse and worse in time with Mfg. The one that was $125 was a newer one with round turquoise light and every time I turn it on that damn light flickers but finally stays lite, where my older ones are flawless. The ones like yours (red lights) I will not touch.

Very interesting video. I just bought a used HTS 3500 MK2 at the thrift store for $60. I opened it up just to see what's inside and everything looks good. I plugged it in and hooked up some AV gear and everything is working fine. I did notice that there is a little light on the plug that goes into the wall that flashes somewhat randomly and at various intensities. Did you unit have this "feature" as well? I'm not sure what the flashes mean (if anything) and if I need to be concerned. Any thoughts? Thanks!
