The issue is that many (most) people will see that there is a warranty and assume their appliances/devices are covered if they are damaged. My post was simply to suggest that people actually read the SECO warranty and have their expectations set appropriately.

It's designed to block and or reduce a large surge coming from the power grid so your subsequent whole house surge and point of use protectors can manage the remainder of the surge. It will also protect non-electronic motor driven devices such as you washer/dryer if it's an older type or an electric stove for example if they don't have any electronic digital controls.
