Review on πŸ”Œ 1800 Watts Voltage Protector for Refrigerator: Optimized for Brownout and Surge Protection by Cory Jacobson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These have protected my 2 fridges

This delays switching on by 3 minutes after switching off. In the summer, here in Los Angeles, there's a power outage when everyone turns on the air conditioners. The voltage can drop below 100 V. After a shutdown, there is usually a dip, large power surge, surge, or surge. Most modern refrigerators have minimal surge protection. However, it cannot protect your refrigerator from massive power surges, surges or surges immediately after power is restored after a power outage. My 2 year old fridge caught fire when we had a power outage in the evening. I checked in the morning and one of my referrals was dead. I bought a couple of these to protect my spare referrals. There was a power outage last week which, as they say, delayed power up. My ref was fine after that. I use this power on delay for my electronics because I really want to be sure that the power supply to my expensive devices is clean and stable. It's not just refrigerators that are affected by power outages. It's just safer to prevent damage from a power outage by unplugging the power supply. I plug it in and then plug in the SurgeX Power 2 output power conditioner for all my devices. SurgeX cleans the energy of your devices. I also use an AVR or UPS to keep my iMacs and servers stable. My laptops don't need this as they use an AC to DC power supply.
