While plugging electrical appliances into power strips is super

practical and economical, did you know that this can carry certain risks?

Plugging in very energy-consuming devices or overloading the power

strip can actually cause real failures. It can damage household

appliances, cause power outages, but also cause fires! How can I say that?

I said that simply because it happened to me. I can tell you that

since then, I have been extremely careful about what I doโ€ฆ Discover 9 devices to never plug into a power strip.

First, look at the maximum power of the power strip

Before giving you the list of electrical devices not to plug in, itโ€™s

necessary to know one thing. On all power strips, the maximum power they can support is indicated on the power cable.

So the first thing to do before plugging in your electrical devices

is to look at this information. Then, itโ€™s very simple. You must

add the power of each device that is plugged into the power strip.

How do I know what the power of this or that device is, will you tell me?

Well, as with the power strip, this information is written on each electrical device.

Iโ€™ll give you a concrete example. Imagine that your power strip tolerates a maximum power of

3500 W. If you plug in your oven which consumes 2500 W at the same time. Your vacuum cleaner

which consumes 800 W and your kettle which consumes 250 W. You exceed 3500 W

(2500 + 800 + 250) = 3550 W. There is only one solution in this specific case.

Unplug one of the electrical devices from the power strip to return below its

maximum power threshold. Otherwise, it can be very dangerous.

Now letโ€™s look at all the devices that should not be plugged into a power strip.

1. The oven
The oven is undoubtedly among the most energy-intensive household

appliances. Even if you donโ€™t use it regularly, you absolutely should not plug it into a power strip!

It is better to provide an individual wall outlet to avoid the risk of dangerous overheating.

2. The refrigerator

So I know what youโ€™re going to tell me. The refrigerator is not the

household appliance that consumes the most of all household appliances.

Since it doesnโ€™t consume too much energy, we say to ourselves that itโ€™s good.

It can be plugged into an extension cord without any problem. Well no !

Letโ€™s not forget that a refrigerator is electrical voltage sent 24 hours

a day to the power strip. So, plug this type of device into an extension

cord, you forget. And then Iโ€™m talking about refrigerators, but this also concerns freezers.

3. The washing machine
A washing machine consumes on average 1150 kWh per year. It is therefore

a very energy-intensive device and therefore not recommended at all for a power strip.

Plugging the washing machine into a wall outlet avoids any risk of short

circuiting and overheating of the extension cord. The same goes for

tumble dryers. They consume way too much electricity to leave them plugged into a power strip.

4. Auxiliary heating
Iโ€™m not telling you that you shouldnโ€™t use it, but remember to plug it

directly into a wall outlet. Never on an extension cord, because this device very quickly overloads the power strip.

5. The microwave
Never believe that this little metal box doesnโ€™t consume any energy.

A microwave can consume on average 70 kWh per year. You see, itโ€™s

not nothing. You should therefore avoid plugging it into an extension cord.

6. The coffee maker
You might think that a small machine like a coffee maker consumes nothing.

In reality, it is quite electricity-intensive with consumption estimated at 165 kWh/year. So plug this device into a wall outlet.

7. Le grille-pain

If you toast buns every morning, you consume between 500 and 1000 W per year!

Yes, thatโ€™s a lot for such a small device. All this to tell you that you should avoid plugging it into a power strip.

8. Another extension

Do you have a lot of electrical appliances to plug in? So you use several extension

cords connected to each other. Very, very bad idea! By doing this

, the maximum authorized power of the power strip can very quickly be exceeded.

This type of bad practice is also the cause of many domestic fires!

9. The internet box, the computer and the TV
So the internet box, the computer and the television do not consume a lot of electricity. On the other hand, these devices are particularly sensitive to any electrical problem (overvoltage, etc.).

So, avoid plugging them into a power strip or equip yourself with a surge protector.

Conclusion There you have it; you now know which electrical devices you should not plug into a power strip.

The chances of fire are fortunately quite low, but prevention is better than cure! Because the risks of overheating are indeed

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ โ€” THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in โ€” a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom โ€” MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didnโ€™t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ Full story in the first comment ๐Ÿ‘‡

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadnโ€™t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everythingโ€”new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadnโ€™t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldnโ€™t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him wellโ€”Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feetโ€”until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulledโ€”but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncoverโ€”or how it was about to change his life forever โฌ‡๏ธ

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldnโ€™t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLEโ€”BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of themโ€”Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samirโ€”were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldnโ€™t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they wereโ€ฆ praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying โ€œAmen.โ€ Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we donโ€™t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. Itโ€™s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And Iโ€™d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, โ€œHey, what are you guys doing?โ€ Izzy opened one eye and whispered, โ€œWeโ€™re asking the sky to help us.โ€ โ€œHelp you with what?โ€ I asked. Niko just said, โฌ‡๏ธ
