You need to remember that electricity is coming thru that cord to the machine or iron or anything, always from the plug in. If the iron misfires, you may have a fire. Now you guys, tell me this is right! Barny

It is safest to unplug appliances when not in use. Twice we have had my husband's coffee grinder turn on by itself during an electrical storm, spewing beans all over the kitchen. We should have learned our lesson the first time -- slow learners, I guess. My sister had a problem with a toaster left plugged in during a storm. A iron involves quite intense heat, so it is better to be safe.
