Should you leave it plugged in all the time?
Good news: most modern models can be left plugged in safely. But for maximum safety—especially at night or during a thunderstorm—it's best to unplug it.

If it leaks, trips the circuit breaker, gives off a strange odor, or if the shut-off button no longer works, there's no point in persisting: it's time to replace it. Newer models are often more energy-efficient, quieter, and heat up faster.
