Kill A Watt Appliance Electricty Usage

Category: tech

I purchased a Kill-A-Watt electricity usage device to monitor how much power my electronic devices are using. Here is a blurb from their website:

Connect your appliances into the Kill A Wattâ„¢, and assess how efficient they are. A large LCD display counts consumption by the Kilowatt-hour just like utility companies. You can figure out your electrical expenses by the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality of your power by displaying Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.

Below, is a list of devices I tested around the home and their energy usage. If you would like to add to this list, simply post your results in the comments
