I did get a Protector with the Statler. But I'm nervous to trust it.
I have heard of whole house protectors and should call the Electric guy about this. I have business insurance that covers my 5 or 6 machines. The took pictures of the Gammill so that one is covered probably the best.
We have a 15 yr old hot tub, which took a surge the last power outage, the want $500 to fix the board on it. We didn't pay that much for it.... My Bernina took a hit several years ago, and had to have the board changed. It was in a power strip I thought was a surge protector.
today baking cookies, and doing laundry with the power going on and off has been interesting.
We have a generator that runs the house, only have used that once this year.
