Dorm Appliances Safety Tip: Dorm Safety First... Check Your Campus Housing Regulations For University Approved Appliances Before Shopping.

DO BUY appliances that are small in scale (dorm size), manufactured to operate on a standard 110/120v plug, and are UL Listed or ETL Listed (tested to nationally accepted safety standards).

DO NOT BUY appliances with an open flame or open coil... so leave your hot plates and toasters at home. The majority of colleges and universities consider these appliances a fire hazard. Additionally, electric skillets are generally frowned upon, any appliance where a piece of paper could touch it and catch fire. As for irons and coffee makers, live dorm smart... stick with quality auto shutoff appliances to ensure your safety and the safety of your college roommates.
