For example, I have a stand fan in my bedroom and I wanna be able to turn it on and off via a switch on my side table (it doesn’t come with a remote, unfortunately). The fan will be set on a specific fan speed and I’ll just have to turn it on or off. Are there gonna be any bad effects to the fan with this setup?
Also, can this be applicable to other small appliances like TVs?

A shutdown is a sudden loss of AC voltage resulting in internal DC voltages slowly dropping to zero. An outage is a sudden loss of AC voltage resulting in internal DC voltages slowly dropping to zero.
All power offs look same to hardware. Pulling a plug (an outage) is only a threat to unsaved data. Then a system might restore an older copy of that data on a next power up.
Only wild speculation says a pulled plug creates a spike. No such spike exists. And that spark means less voltage is going to the appliance. Obviously massive voltage is not created on a 120 volt appliance when disconnected by its plug. Wild speculation somehow becomes fact.
Surge protector has a let-through voltage. Typically 330 volts. That means it does absolutely nothing until 120 volts is well above 330. Since many are educated by intentional advertising lies, then somehow that yanked plug is created a voltage that is approaching or exceeding 1000 volts.
That surge protector can also make surge damage easier. Compromise (bypass) what is superior protection inside electronics. But again, many are easily duped by advertising lies. Automatically believe any lie they are first told. Do not learn how to separate lies and scams from technical facts and honesty. Honesty comes with numbers.
That arc is an electrical conductor (plasma) that is less conductive than a wire. So voltage into an appliance is less during that arc – not more.
One demonstrated basic electrical knowledge; not knowledge from fear. He says:
> When you disconnect or connect an electrical circuit under load there is alway a small electrical arc.
An arc always exists when current is disconnected – even inside a switch. Arcs that causes no appliance damage – electronics or motorized. Only creates electrical noise.
