Why unplug air fryers or toaster ovens at night?
These appliances can overheat or spark electrical fires due to faulty wiring, aging components, or power surges—even when not in use. Some models use cheap internal parts that may fail over time, making them fire hazards if left plugged in. As incident reports increase, safety experts recommend unplugging them overnight.
👉 Bonus tip: Also watch out for coffee makers, electric kettles, and older microwaves—but air fryers and toaster ovens are currently under the most scrutiny.
