When we built our home I had some outlets put in at wheelchair/walker height, we all will get old and bending down can become a challenge. In the meantime it's so much easier for me to unplug all my machines and crawl under the tables to do it. I live in FL, we get a lot of thunder and lightening storms. Yes, we have a whole house surge protector but I'm like to make double sure my machines are safe so I unplug them.
