The piece emphasizes checking the power strip’s capacity, usually listed on the cable, before plugging in devices. It also identifies nine items that should never be connected to a power strip.

Oven and Refrigerator: These power-hungry appliances should have dedicated outlets on their own circuits, as plugging them into a power strip can lead to problems.

Heating Devices: Auxiliary heaters should be used cautiously and never plugged into a power strip to avoid circuit overload.
Microwave: Although not used frequently, microwaves consume a lot of energy and should have their own receptacle.
Coffee Maker and Toaster: These kitchen appliances also draw considerable power and should not be connected to power strips or extension cords.
Stacking Power Strips: Plugging one power strip into another is a risky practice that can lead to fires and electrical hazards.
Electronics (Computer, TV, Router): Sensitive to surges, electronics should not be plugged into power strips to prevent potential damage.
