I always unplug my computerized machine when I'm not using it. Scared of lightning strikes!

That is what I do. Surg protector...sewing machine, lamp, iron, printer & I can plug in my computer. When I leave the room I just lick one switch with my toe and it is OFF!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have my radio pluged into the same surge protector as my iron and sewing machine. When the music is on, things pluged in are on. If I'm leaving the room I shut the red surge protector off and all is turned off
