Great protection for appliances
Great product. A must have for areas that have power surges and outages.

Electrical Issues Begone!
I purchased this protector for our Frigidaire unit that was less than 3 years old. We'd had several issues caused by repeated power surges over the winter; the final time it was causing problems with the control panel and main board getting stuck in repetitive loops causing surging and pulsing noises, and the compressor having constant reset issues.The duplex we live in doesn't have a proper isolated line that can handle newer, larger refrigerators, so I purchased this hoping it would help isolate the worst of the problems and prevent future repair calls (our warranty is good for two more years, but who wants the hassle). I couldn't be more happy with the results. Ever since installing the surge protector, not so much as one extra peep from the fridge - no more resets, no more pulsing, and everything stays just the right temperature, all of the time.Even if you don't seem to have any issues at this time, this $16 component is worth having to eliminate the risk. Even if you have a dedicated line, get one, and protect the investment of a new appliance from the start. You'll be relieved you did it.

Great Design
Other protectors cover or obscure the unused outlet of a two-outlet wall receptacle. This Pipeman's ProtectX-RF goes into the upper outlet allowing use of the lower. I purchaed two, and have they each have endured several tests with a desk lamp to assure proper working condition. This is an older design that is the better option in my opinion. And boy, here's a shocker .... it's made in China. Nonetheless, I am comfortable with the physical quality - not cheaply made. And, I like the longer delay (4 minutes) if power is interrupted.

Has always worked for me.
I have 2 of these, one for my freezer downstairs and one for my refrigerator. I have had mine for about a year now and have had the power go outseveral times. Once just last week when a neighbors huge tree downed the power lines for 6 hours. I had the power go out yesterday to....twice due to a thunderstorm. Both of mine kill the power for 4 minutes and cycle back on fine every time. No issues.I'm not sure why other's have had a problem with their's. I suggest you do like one customer did here....shut off the breaker when you first get it and see if your's is defective. Also, never use these or plug a refrig or freezer onto an outlet with a ground fault. No regular surge protector will hold the power off for a few minutes that I know of....that's why I bought mine.I gave it 4 starts because the jules rating is a little lame.....but it does keep the power off, which protects the compressor.Remember, this is for a refrig or freezer that only pulls 10 amps at full load and 1,800 watts.If you plug this in the top outlet you can use the other one, but that's always a bad idea. Your freezer and probaly your refrigerator should be on a dedicated 15 and breaker. I used to have my toaster over on the same circuit as my old refrigerator. When I would make toast and the refrigerator was running I could hear the compressor tone down and strain. Not good....the compressor went bad in 6 years. And BTW...all compressors are made in China now, and that includes the ones in your air conditioners.I have an old upright Kelvinator freezer that I've had for 20 years and is still going strong because the compressor was made in the USA. I suggest getting one of these for every refrigerator & freezer you have and testing it first. If it's bad send it back. Also check the amp draw on your appliance first.I also suggest getting one of these if you have a garage door opener. My last one was killed in a storm because the solid state board went bad.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JGI9SA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00Here is a outlet surge protector that that has over 1,400 jules, but it does not cycle off:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000510R4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
