Household Appliances That Should Never Be Plugged into an Extension Cord
Be careful, as not all appliances are suitable for use with extension cords.
TL;DR
- High-consumption appliances like air fryers, microwaves, and refrigerators should be plugged directly into wall sockets.
- Using extension cords for powerful appliances can cause overloading, short circuits, and fires.
- For energy savings, unplug devices such as routers, TVs, and smart gadgets when not in use or when leaving home.
- Consider emptying and unplugging refrigerators and freezers before long absences to save energy, or use standby mode.
- Extension cords are best suited for low-power devices.
