Before you head to bed each night, there’s one small action that could make a huge difference unplug your air fryer or toaster oven. While these appliances are incredibly handy, many models have been flagged for internal flaws like faulty wiring or cheap components that could lead to short circuits or even fires, sometimes without warning.
Leaving these devices plugged in overnight poses an even higher risk, especially if your outlets are outdated or your home experiences frequent power surges. In these situations, a plugged-in appliance becomes a potential ignition source even when it’s turned off.
