Running watts by appliance, largest first. The lighter part of a bar is the upper end of the typical range. Whole-house figures are left out: they are yearly averages, not one load.

How to read the appliance wattage chart

Watts are typical ranges for current models; amps are watts ÷ volts. The nameplate on your own appliance gives the exact figure. Appliances with a compressor or motor cycle on and off, so their yearly energy use is a better guide to running cost than watts.
