Thread: Unplugging an iron

I would rather risk it than unplug my TV and dvd recorder and have to reset the clock, timer programs, etc every day.

Surge protectors don't always work, even expensive ones. There was a big storm here in Florida in July while we were out having lunch. We got back to the condo and our TV and Tivo both were plugged into a surge protector were damaged. Had to replace the circuit board in the TV and get another Tivo. So glad my Bernina wasn't plugged in at the time. I always unplug the iron and the machine when finished. There wasn't anything else damaged, not sure why the other appliances were ok, as they are not on a surge protector. We now have a battery back up for the TV and Tivo but will still unplug if we are home during a storm.
