We typically unplug it if we know we are not going to be around or going to use it for awhile.
When we go away for a few days I hit the power strips for every to off.
Only thing I leave on is the fridge and the burner or Air.
I do the same. I unplug my computer, wifi, alarm clock, etc. when I'm out of town for long periods of time. Why have them running up your bill if you're not around?
DP and Irishman, I learned the hard way to unplug hair blow dryers. One day my wife left it plugged in after using it and about 15 minutes later, I smelled smoke.I quickly ran to the bathroom and the dryer was on fire. I unplugged it and immediately put the small fire out with a wet towel. I was reimbursed by ConAir with 2 new blow dryers. Thank God we were home. I learned to always unplug the hair dryer.
