And they're job is to help you keep your machine alive no matter what so whether they're telling you the truth or not, if they perceive it helps they are going to say it. The truth is they want you to put a power strip on every espresso machine and they'll make every excuse they can to convince you the use one. None the less, the is no way any reasonable timer can cause more surges than just flipping the switch at the same time every day, A timer might insure that the espresso machine is on more hours and has more exposure , but a timer should not be capable of causing surges.
