Can an electric fire be a antique?

Answer 1

yeah i think so, but older units may be dangerous to use, having been manufactured prior to safety consciousness for design of such devices.

For example, there might be no protection from overheating, or tipping over, or the cord may be inadequate for a heating appliance, assuming it is not also frayed and an electrical hazard on its own. Many older devices also lack any sort of safety grounding or polarized plug, giving you a higher risk of electrocution if something fails inside.

Bottom line, do not use an old one, or have it carefully examined by an expert before you accidentally create a potentially fatal hazard.
