At a glance
The Crest Dual Socket Surge Protector is a compact 2-outlet adapter made for protecting whitegoods and other household appliances from power surges. It suits homes needing simple appliance protection in tight spaces like kitchens or laundries. Key strengths include its 1,800-joule surge rating, 10A/2400W capacity and self-tripping MOV protection. The main limitation is that it only provides two outlets and no switching controls.

Things to consider
This model is best for basic appliance protection, but it is less flexible than larger premium power boards that offer more outlets, USB charging, switches or broader equipment coverage.
Home office suitability
Suitable for basic desk devices, but better matched to appliance protection than a dedicated office power board.
Surge protection score
8/10 - 1,800J protection and self-tripping MOV design make it strong for everyday household appliance protection.
Portability rating
8/10 - compact adapter-style design is easy to place and move around the home.
Multi-device compatibility
Good for two household appliances or devices within the 10A / 2400W total load limit.
Durability vs category average
Above average - fireproof self-tripping MOV protection and a 10 year manufacturer's warranty support long-term use.
Key benefits
- Dual Outlets: Protects two appliances at once from electrical surges without needing a bulky power board.
- 1,800J Surge Rating: Delivers strong surge protection for sensitive household appliances and whitegoods.
- 10A / 2400W Capacity: Supports common household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and microwaves within its rated load.
- Compact Form Factor: Fits more easily into tight spaces where a full-size power board may be impractical.
- Self-Tripping MOV Protection: Disconnects during unsafe surge conditions to add an extra layer of protection.
- Whitegoods-Focused Design: Well suited for appliance-heavy areas such as kitchens and laundries.
- Connected Equipment Warranty: Includes a stated connected equipment warranty for added peace of mind.
- 10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty: Offers long-term ownership confidence for everyday home use.
Q: Is this Crest dual socket surge protector suitable for a fridge or washing machine?
A: Yes. This model is designed for whitegoods and appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and microwaves. It has 2 surge protected outlets with a 10A, 2400W total load limit across both sockets.
Q: Can this surge protector be used with a TV or home entertainment setup?
A: No. Crest notes this model is not suitable for TVs. It is aimed at whitegoods rather than AV gear, so if you need protection for a television or similar electronics, choose the PWU02905C device protector instead.
Q: What does self-tripping fireproof MOV protection mean on this Crest model?
A: It uses metal oxide varistors that absorb surge events and are described by Crest as fireproof and self-tripping. In practice, that means the protection is designed to disconnect itself during an unsafe surge condition rather than keep operating normally.
Q: How much equipment can I plug into the two sockets at once?
A: You can use both outlets, but the combined load must stay within 10A or 2400W total. That suits many everyday appliances, but two high-draw devices running together can exceed the rating, so check the wattage labels before connecting both.
Q: How strong is the surge protection on this Crest Platinum 2 Socket model?
A: This unit is rated at 1,800 joules, with a maximum surge current of 144,000A and maximum spike voltage of 6,000V. Those figures indicate stronger protection than a basic adaptor, especially for larger appliances connected to the two outlets.
