Most appliances are set to just restart when there is an outage, if they are constantly starting up and shutting down there is a chance you can blow your PSU (small chance but still a chance).
On DLP Tv's there is a big chance you can actually burn out your bulb from power cycles.
I have had a few computers go on me from power cycles and ever since that day I have decided to take the safe route. You never really know if your having a outage or a spike.
Outage = not so bad
Spike = finding out MacTavish is your teams new coach
