Surge Protectors
Do you use a surge protector to protect your machine? If so what brand or type, and, do you think it is the best one for the job?
I use a "Monster brand" but still try to unplug from the outlet if I am home.

All of my machines are on surge protectors. My Bernina sewing machine and serger are on a Belkin. My Singer 221 is on an APC although it probably does not need a surge protector. My iron is on a Staples. They all seem to do their job. I unplug the Belkin when there are thunderstorms in the area and unplug my Singer machine each time I stop using it; but I never unplug the Staples s surge protector. I'm no help on a recommendation. I'd just get one that can withstand the largest surge of electricity.

Wow, didn't know serge protectors had brands.....I just use whatever we have in the house but all of my machines and irons are on one since they make shutting everything off when I leave the room, so much easier.

Several years ago, our power company had two lines fall and hit each other. (tiny town). Everything not on a surge protector in town was fried. My computer had a $10 Woods from WalMart that saved it. I use them on everything since then.
