Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,200, brand new and sealed. It is a single-socket overload guard in white, with a UK 3-pin plug that fits the standard Kenyan wall socket, a universal socket face on the front for your appliance, and an indicator light that shows its status at a glance. Amaya, the Chinese consumer-electronics accessories brand, sells it as home appliance protection for a safer home. Collect the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for households and small offices, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector sits between the wall and one appliance you care about. A fridge, a TV, a DStv or GOtv decoder, a microwave or a Safaricom Home Fibre router plugs into its face instead of straight into the wall. When its circuit sees an overload, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector steps in before the appliance takes the strain. Families in Kilimani and Westlands flats, salon owners, M-Pesa shops and landlords fitting out rentals use it to protect the one device that would cost the most to replace after a fault.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push bulky extension boards with no clear protection, Mascom International stocks the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector as a dedicated single-socket guard with flame-retardant materials and temperature control protection listed on the box. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers ask for appliance protection after costly fridge and TV repairs that followed KPLC power returning with a jolt. Come to the store to check that your appliance plug fits the socket face, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector
What is the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector price in Kenya?
The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector costs KSh 1,200, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers the socket protector itself and a 6-month Mascom warranty against manufacturing defects. It needs no batteries, no installation and no electrician: it plugs straight into a standard UK 3-pin wall socket. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties, so you can check the unit before you hand over cash or send M-Pesa.
What does the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector protect against?
The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector guards one appliance against overload, the condition where too much load runs through the socket for safe operation. A precision circuit watches that load and steps in when it goes beyond what the unit allows. The box also lists temperature control protection, so the unit responds to overheating as well. It is a single-appliance guard, not a full surge suppressor or voltage stabiliser, and it does not correct long spells of low or high voltage.
Can the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector run a fridge, TV or microwave?
The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector is made for one household appliance at a time, such as a fridge, TV, decoder, microwave or router. Before plugging in a high-draw item, compare the rating label on the back of the appliance with the details on the unit. Heavy loads, such as an instant shower heater, a deep freezer on a weak line or a whole entertainment setup, belong on a stabiliser. Send a photo of the appliance label on WhatsApp and we will advise you.
Should I get the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector or a voltage stabiliser?
Choose the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector at KSh 1,200 if you want a compact overload guard for one appliance that plugs straight into the wall. A voltage stabiliser does a different job: it corrects low or high voltage over long periods and suits big loads, but it is larger, costs more and usually sits on the floor. Renters protecting a TV or decoder get enough from the socket protector. Homes with frequent brownouts and a large fridge or freezer should add a stabiliser.
Does the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector help when KPLC power comes back after an outage?
The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector adds a layer of overload protection between the wall and your appliance when KPLC supply returns. Many Kenyan homes see appliances fail just as power comes back after a blackout. A good habit is to switch the appliance off during the outage and turn it on a few minutes after the lights return. The unit helps, but heavy surges or long brownouts in places like Kitengela or Ruiru call for a stabiliser as well.
Is it safe to leave the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector plugged in all day?
Yes, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector is meant to stay in the wall permanently, guarding a fridge or decoder around the clock. The box lists flame-retardant materials, temperature control protection and resistance to heat and cold, which suits hot Mombasa kitchens and cool Nyeri mornings alike. Keep it dry, away from sinks and cookers, and never stack another adaptor into it. If the indicator light behaves oddly or the casing feels hot, unplug it and bring it to us.
Who should buy the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector if you want to guard one valuable appliance, such as a fridge, smart TV, decoder or router, in a home or small shop. Students in hostels, young families and landlords furnishing rentals get good value from it. Skip it if you need several outlets in one place, because it has a single socket. Skip it too if your area suffers long low-voltage spells or you are protecting a large freezer; a proper voltage stabiliser is the better fit.
How do I set up the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector?
Setting up the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector takes under a minute and needs no tools. Push its UK 3-pin plug firmly into the wall socket and switch the wall socket on. Check that the indicator light comes on, then plug your appliance into the universal socket face on the front. The face accepts UK 3-pin plugs, and you can test any imported two-pin plug at our Kimathi Street counter before buying. Use one appliance per protector and never a multi-plug adaptor behind it.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Single-socket overload protection — guards one appliance by stepping in when the load through the socket goes beyond safe limits.
- Precision circuit — the internal circuit tracks the load and reacts when it climbs too high, rather than waiting for damage.
- Temperature control protection — the unit also responds to overheating, a second line of defence for appliances left running.
- Indicator light — a visible lamp on the body lets you confirm the unit is working without unplugging anything.
- Plug-in design — sits directly on the wall socket, with no wiring, mounting or electrician needed.
Compatibility
- UK 3-pin plug — fits the standard British-style wall sockets used in Kenyan homes, offices and rentals.
- Universal socket face — the front socket is designed to take more than one plug shape; test any unusual plug in store first.
- Suits common household appliances — fridges, TVs, decoders, microwaves, routers and sound systems, one at a time.
- One appliance per unit — for several devices, buy one protector for each high-value appliance you want guarded.
- Not a voltage stabiliser — it does not correct long spells of low or high voltage on weak supply lines.
Build
- White casing — blends into most painted walls and kitchen backsplashes without drawing attention.
- Flame-retardant materials — the housing resists catching fire, which matters for a unit that stays plugged in day and night.
- Resistant to heat and cold — built to keep working in hot kitchens, humid coastal homes and cool upcountry rooms.
- Compact single-socket body — takes up little more space than a plug adaptor, leaving neighbouring wall sockets usable.
- Rated for longevity on the box — made to stay in service for years rather than months.
Safety and Daily Use
- Easy to operate — plug it in, switch on the wall socket, then plug in your appliance.
- Leave it in place — the protector works best as a permanent fixture rather than something you move daily.
- Keep it dry — mount it away from sinks, kettles and cookers where splashes reach the socket.
- Do not chain adaptors — plugging a multi-plug or another adaptor into it defeats the purpose of single-appliance protection.
- Check the light — if the indicator behaves oddly or the casing runs hot, unplug and have it inspected.
Inclusions
- The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector unit — ready to use straight from the box.
- No wiring kit or screws needed — it is a plug-in unit, not a hard-wired device.
- Amaya retail box — marked Single Socket Overload Protection Socket and Home appliance protection for safer home.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use.
- Counter fit check on request — our staff will test your appliance plug in the socket face before you pay.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed Amaya box you get the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector itself, ready to plug into the wall. There are no cables, screws or adaptors to fit, because the unit carries its own UK 3-pin plug and socket face. If you plan to guard more than one appliance, buy one protector for each, since a single unit takes one plug. We will open the seal at the counter on request so you can test your appliance plug before leaving.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use, such as an indicator light or socket that stops working. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street.
