That's ludicrous. First of all whatever the problem is that won't be the reason and second I'm surprised that they would admit that their device is prone to 'spikes on the mains' since any competently engineered device will be completely unaffected by whatever 'the mains' is doing.
I'd send it back and buy something from another company, preferably a Japanese company where they know what they are doing.
