WS-10521 Electronic Voltage & Surge Protector for Front and Top Load Washers - Protect Your Washing Machine Against High and Low Voltage, Brownouts and Spikes ((1) Piece)

I didn’t even know I needed one until the control panel burned on my washing machine. This is made specifically for washing machines without the need for a big, power strip surge protectors. This has 4 lights that keep you aware of what is going on with your electricity. I love it so much I am buying one for everyone at work!

this surge protector worked for 5 years with no problems

It’s great for brown outs it turns on appliance after the current is stable

So far working fine as far as we know. Tried power off and came back on as described. No way to know if protection from power spike. Didn't take up much room behind the refrigerator with it plugged in the wall outlet. Package arrived on time and good shape.

Seems to be working fine

The product is a plug-in electronic surge protector meant to protect an appliance like 120VAC washing machines that use a standard 3-prong grounded plug. I bought this item because, after a technician replaced the CPU board and a door latch relay in my new and expensive front loader (fortunately, using my extended warranty), I didn't want to go through the same inconvenience again. The way this surge protector works is that when it detects a surge of power or an instantaneous power failure, it will immediately disconnect the appliance from power for 3 minutes, until it senses a continuous voltage and current and then it'll turn on softly. Now, I already have two similar protectors that work the same way, one installed for my main fridge, and one for a fridge and freezer in my garage, and despite many short power failures during several lighting strikes, none of my appliances have stopped working and so it seems the concept works.Regarding this item: We just had a series of thunderstorms and some very short power failures and, so far, the protector has worked as advertised. I cannot say that the item will work flawlessly forever but I bought it as insurance and not as a way to guarantee the future, so time will tell, but I can say definitively the item is working as expected.Overall,Value for money: I would say yes, no question, 5/5. Ease of use: Oh, yes; there's one thing I really like and that is that the socket in front of the protector is angled about 30 degrees downward which distresses the appliance's cable (the protector protrudes a few inches from the wall socket and so this angle helps fit the plug and cable from the washing machine without a big bend), so 5/5. Convenience: I would say yes, 5/5.

Machine works fine when plugged in to this surge protector and does not need resetting as it does normally during power glitches. Just a note…plug this unit in to wall and allow for its delay setup to occur before plugging your washer in. This will prevent the need to unplug and reset your washing machine.

A technical support recommended that’s product to be safe about hight voltage. Just in case.
