It's better to be safe than sorry

If you buy a quality power bar and a small space heater that doesn't use copious amounts of power it's fine, I've had one plugged in on my desk at work (the area I'm in is cold because of computers) for weeks now on every day and it's perfectly fine

It’s perfectly fine on a good power strip. Even a smart one.

That's only because you're not pushing it to the limits, which is what most people end up doing, which results in their house catching fire

Those small desk-size heaters draw about 300-400 watts .. perfectly safe for a decent power bar .. the room heaters draw 1500 watts .. much different story.

Off topic statement but I really miss the holiday times :(

@1:10 -- Most of the heaters I have seen have tip over technology in them.

Thank you.

I know that dude. Superstar mark Wright.

i mix them just look at amps the power par can handle and add the heaters amps and other devices amps and if it’s over I just not use all of them at the same time

If it's only 1 small space heater plugged in and it's ONLY 400 WATTS space heater should be okay 👌

@@stargazer7780 even if it's only 1 heater, the general rule of thumb is they are considered high power capacity appliances and should be plugged into the outlet directly. It's not worth risking setting the house on fire. I wouldn't risk it.

is it safe to plug a power strip into each outlet, I need another one to charge rechargable devices

I just did this

No offense, but I think he missed out on why propane heaters are not to be used indoors unless you've opened a window. They produce carbon monoxide. ' silent killer'' will and will do so. Albeit safe and ok for use in a well ventilated garage and for camping outside. I've a buddy heater, works great. But please be sure to open a window.😊

Can you plug in a tower fan to a power strip?

You should never plug a heater in them. Omg. Your asking for a fire

Ban all power strips. I also think that each room should have 2 breaks each for safety.

@@Strewgle I DESTROYED ONE OF THE STRIPS BY ADDING A SPACE HEATER AND ALSO TURNING ON THE TOASTER OVEN AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME STRIP - THAT MEANT TOO MUCH AMPERAGE (30 AMPS OR SO) - and fortunately it was a surge protector so it tripped. Otherwise it would have caught fire but the surge protector is still gone - the metal oxide varistors melted and were irreversibly damaged by the heat-inducing amperage.

power strips are fine as long as you don't plug ridiculous shit into it. also having 2 breakers for each room would be less safe than 1 as it would take more power to trip.

INlets?? All this time, I thought they were called OUTlets. DOH! 🤦. So....ignore the electric shock warning about opening up the heater. Okaaay.

Is this the same problem in the uk

Of course if you use a cheap $5 surge protectors will catch on fire. I'm not saying $100 one won't catch on fire but the likelihood is a lot less.

A wall tap is a power board that doesn't have a cord coming out the back of it. A power strip has a cord out the back, where it plugs into an outlet, an a surge protector also has a cord

Those are outlets... not inlets. power comes OUT of a power strip. This guy is a professional? Lol

...don't mix?....they should stop selling the power strips until they can make them so they can mix.

the quality of receptacles on a power strip is lower than those in the wall.
