Is it safe to leave electric airer on while out

[Idontknowhatnametochoose]

Just that really.

Only just got one and wondering if i can leave it on or not and for how long.

Thanks!

Mines been on constantly for about a month. And it's 12yrs old. You'll be fine.

I think it comes down to what brand (is it a reliable brand you know or something off Amazon you haven’t heard of before), have you got modern circuit breakers and personal attitudes to risk. I leave all kinds of things on but my parents never will. The reason i mentioned brands is that imported goods are not always certified and tested to such a high level of at all, you can’t even trust a CE mark as they can be faked, I’d trust a genuine brand but not cheaper imports from far east companies

Mine would never dry anything if it was off when I was out! I leave it on all the time.

It's as risky as any other electrical appliance being left on.

It would honestly never occur to me to turn it off. Ours is one while we're at work everyday.

I wouldn't but I'm probably over cautious. It does depend on your wiring, circuit breakers etc though.

Thanks everyone.

I'm in rented accommodation and electrics are checked yearly so should be ok!

I don’t. I don’t leave any electrical appliances on when I’m out unless I’ve just nipped to the shops.

I have just got one and I just stick it on for a couple of hours, I wouldn’t but I’m cautious.

We leave ours on all the time

My dribuddi went on fire last week- good job I was home! I wouldn’t risk it! Mine was only 2 years old
