Does this work with appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves and dryers?

It does, but unless there are circuit boards in your appliances, there is no need for surge protection. Motors of fridges and other large appliances handle surges just fine, typically. Surge protection is meant for finer electronics that cannot handle fluctuations. Large ac motors can just fine. And remember, surge protection is NOT lightning protection.

Belkin SurgeCube is a surge protector for 120volt devices. I have our boiler connected through it and that's working fine. So, while refrigerator and microwave (both 120 volt appliances) should work fine, most electric dryers run on 240volts - this surge protector is not meant for that application.

Yes, it will work on Refrigerators & Microways. but not a cloths dryer. Hope this helps. Mike

A neat little surge protector, ideal for any appliance that has a computer control e.g. microwave, refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, laptop, iPad, iPhone etc. Although my home is protected by an all-house electrical surge protection unit (we live in a very high lightning probability area), I have also used specialized surge protectors for TV and Audio equipment as well as Computers that are all connected to incoming cable installations. Don't forget the telephone as well. Belkin provide a similar device that will protect your incoming phone line.

Hi, On the Belkin site http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9H100-CW/ it says "The one-outlet Home Series SurgeCube from Belkin offers wall-mount-direct, plug-in surge protection for your general electronics, home appliances, and more." I would assume that "home appliances" includes refrigerators, microwave, etc.

Yes it will work on all 110V-120V kitchen appliances and dryers that are gas. it won't work on all electric dryers, they are 220V so it won't work for them.

It's marked up to 15 amps I would say any standard size appliance should be ok I use it on my microwave just look on appliance for amps 15 and under.

I have used it on a new (2013) refrigerator for almost a year now without any problem, and with it experiencing several outages and brown-outs. I have not used in on my microwave or dryer, and from just my experience, I think a dryer, which typically uses a 220 would be too much for it to handle on start-up; however, checking with your appliance manufacturer would be your safest bet.

Can use on a refrigerator. Keep in mine that if it surges that it will keep power from returning to the refridge. There is an RCA on that will take the hit and then allow power to resume. Just keep in mind at that point it would no longer be protected. Microwaves yes. I have one of these on mine. Dryers no.

Well it can since all it does is hook up to the vent hose that goes to outside or in my case I have to vent my dryer inside cause I am in an apartment so this is suited for a house where the dryer is in the basement or a laundry room but u can use it for either gas or electric it will work for either one of them.

I have only tried using this on appliances and not with any electronics. However, I suspect that it would work with electronics like a TV.

It's a standard 120-volt grounded outlet, so if you mean a hair dryer then yes. But not a clothes dryer of course.

Not sure. I used it for phone and iPad and it was great. Ok I'm reading the box and all it says is "not safe for hair dryers, flat irons, or other heat producing appliances." It bills itself as safe for all personal electronics. Hope that helps.

I am pretty sure it would only work with a 110v plug as it is an item that is sold in the US, so it is not typical for appliances of this nature to have the conversion built in to it.

I am not sure but we used every on of them - for hair dryer, charging our phones and our computers, curling iron. It was a must to have. I believe it will work with anything that you would normally plug into a regular outlet here in the states.

This type of device works fine with a 110-volt washer/dryer combo; I've used them for years. But this particular model will NOT work, since its capacity (just 100 watts) is so low. Read the electrical data plate on your appliances to see how much power they use (wattage), and then buy a transformer that is sized accordingly. This manufacturer sells transformers up to 3,000 watts...so if your washer/dryer combo uses less than that, you're good.

Yes it will but You need to check the power rating as well. My device needed at least 600W so I bought this transformer of 700W. washer and dryer might need higher watt I am guessing

I'm not sure. They should, but I can't give you a 100% positive answer. What I can tell you is that these adapters are not made for appliances that consume large amounts of electricity such as hair dryers.What I did was bought these off Amazon and figured if they worked that's great, and if not then at least I didn't spend too much on them. However, I did buy a universal adapter from Target that I knew would work everywhere, and took that with me as a backup plan. Luckily I didn't need it, therefore I never removed it from the packaging. I simply returned it to Target when I came back from my trip. I'm not sure.

Absolutely. My girlfriend used it step down the usable vlotage to US bought appliances

It should but you should watch out how many voltage per appliance you are using. Mine worked fine to charge my cell phone and camera but blew up when I went to use a hair dryer.

Yes, it does. It works perfecly for laptops, cell phones and others nanostations

I used it with my small clothing steamer and it kept shutting off. I wouldn't use with appliances. It worked fine with pc, phone

If you bring a converter with you, it most likely can. Converters work well with hair dryers, too.

Probably not. Most (if not all) microwaves use a standard 3-prong plug. But this cord has a different prong configuration with one prong at a right angle to the other. So it didn't work with my microwave nor the outlet I wanted to use. Perhaps thus is great for some very heavy appliances but you need to double check your appliance cord and outlets before purchasing and possibly wasting your time on this cord. Take a very close look at the product picture and you'll see what the prongs are like.

The adapter works great with mobile phones, but you need a power converter for appliances. I plugged in a small portable white noise machine using the adapter and it was blown out immediately, never worked again even back at home in the US. All the hotels during my trip to Italy had hair dryers. I did without any other appliances. Hope this helps.
