Ten items that should never be connected to a power strip

The annual energy consumption of a washing machine is around 1,150 kWh. Consequently, it is not a good choice for a power strip as it consumes a lot of electricity.

To prevent the extension cable from overheating or short circuiting, plug the washing machine into an electrical outlet. The case is also true for clothes dryers. Their power consumption is excessive for them to be left plugged into a power strip.

4. Non-mainstream heating

Please be sure to connect it into an electrical outlet when using it; nevertheless, I am not suggesting that you do not. You should never use it with an extension cable; doing so will cause the power strip to overflow extremely fast.

5. Microwave

Never assume that this small metal box is energy efficient. On a yearly basis, a microwave may use around 70 kWh. It isn’t insignificant, you know. So, don’t use an extension cord to connect it.

Sixthly, the brewer

A coffee maker, on the surface, may not seem like it uses much power. With an estimated annual use of 165 kWh, it is actually fairly power-hungry. Connect it to an electrical outlet.

7. The grill’s color
Toasting bread first thing in the morning uses 500 to 1000 W annually! That is quite a bit for a little gadget, I agree. The point of this is that you shouldn’t put it into a power strip.

8. An further expansion

Is there a large number of electrical equipment in your household? As a result, you’ll need a network of interconnected extension cables. That was a terrible choice! In a short amount of time, you can use up all the power from the power strip.
