Every night before you sleep, there’s one kitchen appliance you should always unplug—and it’s not the one you’re thinking.
It’s the air fryer. Or sometimes, the toaster oven.
Why?
These compact cooking gadgets can overheat, spark, or even catch fire—even when they’re turned off. Many models use cheap wiring or low-quality components that degrade over time. If left plugged in overnight, they can become ticking time bombs—especially during a power surge or if your outlet isn’t top-notch.
🔥 Real incident reports have shown a rise in overnight fires caused by air fryers and toaster ovens. And the worst part? Most of them were not even in use when the fire started.
👉 Other risky appliances include:
- Electric kettles
- Coffee makers
- Old microwaves
But air fryers and toaster ovens are the biggest culprits right now.
✅ Fire safety experts recommend unplugging these devices before bed. ✅ It takes 2 seconds and could save your home—and your life.
💡 Bonus Tip: Use a smart plug with a timer or surge protector to add an extra layer of safety. 💡 And if your appliance is more than 3 years old, consider replacing it with a certified model that meets modern safety standards.
Don’t wait for a close call. Make unplugging part of your nightly routine—and sleep with peace of mind.
