Do you use a Serge Protector on your machine?
I have always used surge protectors on my computers. But for some reason it never occurred to me to use one on my Juki that costs as much as the computers! As a huge thunderstorm with lots of lightening is rolling through my area this morning and I am unplugging expensive electronics, I wonder if I am the only one to overlook protecting my machine with a surge protector?

I use on with my Featherweight to protect it, also because everything is older...so I figure the more precautions the better. My 70's Kenmore, I'm not as concerned about so I haven't bothered to move the surge protector around haha.
I'm no electrician, so I can't comment on how worthwhile using one is but I'd say if you have one lying around, go for it.

Yep, I use one on my machine. I also have one that I have a floor lamp and my iron plugged in to it. This one is located by the entrance to my area. I switch it off when I am leaving the room so I know my iron is off. If the lamp is on, the iron is on. Keeps me from forgetting to turn off my iron when I leave my room.

I have had surge protectors on my machines since I got my computerized machine. My machine is a lot more expensive than my computer. I have gotten into the habit of unplugging that machine when not in use, you never know when lightening will show up in the area.
