battery backup surge protectors
#1
I was wondering if anyone had an APC or other brand of battery backup surge protector on you machines. We spend alot of money on our machines and would sure hate to loose them to a power surge or outage. If you do have one on your machines, what brand and size did you purchase?

That is a great idea - thanks for mentioning it. I have a surge protector on our computer, TV, microwave (learned that one the hard way), freezers, keyboard & fridge.
I believe its time to add a couple in my sewing room.

Yes, of course...my sewing machines and this computer plus the TV are on a large computer power backup/surge protector.
I was very glad that I had it, as last summer I took a surge. The protector bit the dust, but saved all the machines....

i have them on everything.
about 10 years ago our house was hit with lighting and we lost everything (computers, tvs, dvd players, gym equipment, kitchen appliances, etc) and while home owners insurance covered everything we still never want that to happen again.
