Either way, if the voltage is too far out of its normal range, it significantly reduces the lifespan of your appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gizzu Universal Surge Protector Plug protects your appliances \u2013 such as your new Defy fridge \u2013 from these abnormal fluctuations by cutting off the power supply to your fridge if the voltage exceeds harmful limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also temporarily delay the startup of your appliances when the power returns after an outage to ensure the grid supply has time to stabilise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/linkprotect.cudasvc.com\/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.makro.co.za%2Fdefy-gizzu&amp;c=E%2C1%2Cds2yC4MUTz7lZkHTyzb4ToWdKCFBm6er4ptE2KckGqP7MMJnhy0jtp9YrMHggiCkF0lO2IT9G1enrtcbMrShvKSVb8IBRh9yPXeIR28FrN40zqTg-5lt&amp;typo=1&amp;utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_term=March+2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to shop the participating Defy fridges from Makro.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gizzu has partnered with Makro and Defy to bring an awesome exclusive deal to South Africans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":759935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[16896,19609,18398],"class_list":["post-759927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-defy","tag-defy-fridges","tag-gizzu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759927"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":763149,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759927\/revisions\/763149"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/759935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
