How about use on a refrigerator? It's electronic controls default with every power blip.

Way to small for it and even if choose bigger one, it will be just few minutes run time... Fridge is consuming way to much when runining

Very good question. I myself have used other UPS's for refrigerators during power outages. While I can't say how well this specific model will work, I can say I have used other brands that have worked just fine.

The issue comes down to what kind of startup load does a refrigerator compressor require. You aren't just starting the electronics, you are starting a motor. This type of device was not designed for that type of load. I would not try it for anything that requires that much initial current.

It does control the voltage technically. Set the temperature, when the fridge reaches that temperature, it cuts the power. When the fridge gets warmer, it turns it back on. Much like the thermostat that is built in does. The difference is that this one allows you to control the temperature more precisely.

No. I'm unaware of any safety issues. Almost all such appliances have built in power.

Believe me you won't regret buying one. My freezer would do all kinds of stupid stuff like door light won't work freezer would be extremly cold and won't shut off or compressor wouldnt turn on. Every thing would run fine if I pull the control panel board. Until the next day it would act up... has to be a bad compassitor.

I am not sure. I notice there was no switch to reset on the unit. I asked tThe refrigerator repair guy told me if it trips it has to be replaced. I have not confirmed it his info is correct. it's on my fridge as a precaution and I don;t expect t to actually ever trip.

Out of the box it functions just like a normal monitor/tv would: no automatic on with power cycle. There might be a way to change it in the settings, but that wasn't in our customer specifications, so we didn't mess with it.

Yes, that is the way we have ours.we can turn it by the switch inside if we want.it is left though in the automaticposition so it only comes on from detected motion.

it wouldn't start my Fridge,,the Surge time is too low..so am not using it..if that is a requirement for your system.,,this is NOT the convertor for you. look for one with a long surge time.,at least 5/7 seconds..this piece of crap is 1second...total waste of money. the guy with the video praising this, must have a hugh battery bank..to off set this problem.

Yes, absolutely . I'm a mechanic by trade , this fridge uses very low amps.

Perpetual motion is only a dream... even electrical appliances need to be started in some way... flip a switch... plug it in...

As it is a fridge, its either turn up the temperature or unplug it.I think it defeats the purpose of a fridge then......

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.

Absolutely- it has a wide range of controls- to include the ability to turn equipment off and on daily if needed. It contains a pretty hefty relay- however, I'd be sure to check its capacity before you hook it to a fridge- you may want to preface it with a more stout relay- depending on how much current your fridge draws... My fans are only about 1 amp each- so I was able to use it directly. It is very nice and has been operating well for 6 months now. Good luck...

ON THE SIDE IS A SWITCH for Timer use, and on ALWAYS...Many miss this and it is critical

I use it with a cooling fan for electronic equipment in a motor home. It can be easily wired to thermostatically control any 110 volt electrical device.

Sure, that would work great. You could plug a power strip in and turn everything on or off. Just be sure that if you un-plug and re-plug in, some things do not automatically turn on (ex: newer Ac's, TV's)

I believe some of Buffalo external drives have the auto-power-on/off feature. You can also use one of those smart power strips...
