You should know this as soon as possible to avoid risks.
The kitchen appliance you must unplug before going to sleep to avoid a fire is usually the air fryer or sometimes toaster ovens.
Why?
- These devices can overheat or have electrical faults even when not in active use.
- Some air fryers and toaster ovens have poor wiring or cheap internal components that might fail over time, leading to short circuits or spontaneous ignition.
- Leaving them plugged in overnight increases the risk of electrical fires, especially if your outlet isn’t top quality or if there’s a power surge.
Other risky appliances include: coffee makers, electric kettles, and old microwaves — but air fryers and toaster ovens are especially emphasized lately because of rising incident reports.
