9 Things You Should Never Plug Into A Power Strip

“Be cautious when using power strips,” warns an article, emphasizing the dangers of overloading them. It advises checking the power strip’s capacity, typically indicated on the cable, before connecting devices. The article also lists nine items that should never be plugged into a power strip.

Oven and Refrigerator: These energy-intensive appliances require dedicated outlets on separate circuits, as plugging them into a power strip can cause issues.
Washing Machine: Due to its high power demand, a washing machine should always be connected directly to a wall outlet, ideally on its own circuit.
Heating Devices: Space heaters and other heating devices should never be plugged into a power strip to avoid overloading the circuit.
Microwave: Though used infrequently, microwaves draw significant power and should be plugged directly into a wall outlet.
Coffee Maker and Toaster: These kitchen appliances require considerable power and should not be plugged into power strips or extension cords.
Stacking Power Strips: Plugging one power strip into another is a dangerous practice that can lead to fires and electrical hazards.
Electronics (Computer, TV, Router): Sensitive electronics should not be plugged into power strips, as they are vulnerable to surges that can cause damage.
In conclusion, it’s important to use power strips carefully, prioritize safety, and avoid overloading them with high-power devices.
