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)

Reliable during power surges, which we’ve had several of, and there is a delay on this protector to allow time for the surge to complete. I use this one for my new washing machine and plan to buy more for our other home appliances. We’ve lost 2 washing machines because surges blew out the motherboards - no more!

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.

I got this surge protector in hopes that it would fix a flickering lights problem created by my new LG washing machine. When the washing machine was running, my LED lights would flicker and pulse in and out. It sounds like it is a common problem with some of these newer washing machines. This device fixed the issue and gave me peace of mind that there wasn't a larger electrical issue. Money well spent.

Easy to install, just plug it in.I hope that I never have to put it to use

Seems to be working fine

Power is good, performance is A1, i have a deep freeze and a washing machine attached very small in appearance

Shortly after installing had a power surge and it worked ! Protected the brand new washer, last one circiut board fried from power surge.

Does the job perfectly!
