My concern is to know, the difference in term of electricity consumption between a new appliance and an old one

Hi MD, the values are in Watts. To avoid complications we do not estimate or factor in how long each appliance is used for, only how much power it consumes when on.

Hi, very informative. However, I would recommend adding the time for the value, e.g. a coffee maker uses 800W per hour? or per coffee making cycle? which would be a big difference as the coffee is made in approx 10 minutes. If all values are values Watt-per-hour please state that too somewhere (unless I missed it). Thanks; keep up the good work

very useful - helpful, we must know the power consumption each appliance

Very helpful. Thanks for compiling. Would be great to have separate numbers for Central Air Conditioning - heating only and cooling only for lowest efficiency units.

I like it, it helped with my school thing.
But needs more types of lights, especially fluorescent tube lights.

In case you're wondering, CHICKEN isn't my real name...

Where is the list? I even put in appliance name and nothing???

For those wondering how to use all this - watts (power) is voltage x amperage. To make an easy example, a 100W globe will draw 1 amp at 100 volts.. 2 amps at 50 volts. While this probably doesn't matter to you it will help understand that it doesn't matter if it's referring to 110v or 220/240v countries. The wattage stays the same.

The power company will charge you per kilowatt hour (kWh) . That is the power used for a period time. So the 100W rated globe above needs to run for 10 hours to use 1kw of power. If the company charges 20 cents per kWh then that 100w globe costs you 20 cents to run for 10 hours, 10 cents for 5 hours etc. But a 1000W globe would cost 20 cents for 1 hour (as it draws 10x the power), 10 cents for half and hour etc.

Cheers.

What is an American Style fridge? Chart says it operates on 40W, yet my Chromebook uses 45W.

These are not all perfectly accurate. But i suppose its only a simple guide.

Hi, it lists the KW, so the rate at which power is consumed. KWh com in to play when you factor in how the the appliance is used for, but that is outside the scope of this data.
By Daft Logic on 24th March 2020

is this per hour for each appliance?
