Most of my applicances don't have on/off switches. Most just one button to turn off, same one to turn off. Or they are like lamp knobs that just go "click - on...click - off". Those types.

If you don't already have them, it might be wise to get a surge protector for your valuable electrical equipment. For example, I have one for my computer, and another for my TV and stereo equipment. You can buy them pretty cheaply at Walmart, Target, hardware, etc.
