   Ok, all appliances USE energy, they don’t produce it.

   And the energy they consume is called electrical energy

   On all your appliances you’ll see a name plate that usually says like input voltage, 120 volts, 8.0 amps, 60 hz, kind of thing

   All house voltage is usually 120 volts for appliances and anything you plug into the wall.

   So look at your coffee maker. On the bottom will be the nameplate or the back of it.

   The formula is this Watts = volts x amps.

   So in my house I have a Proctor Silex coffee maker and the bottom says — Input 120v ., and 10 amps. So the watts of my coffee maker are 120v x 10 amps = 1200 watts

   I have a sunbeam microwave, there is a label on the back , but right on the front it says 900 watts. On the back it says 110v-120v at 7.5 amps, so again 120 volts x 7.5 amps = 900 watts

   I have a sunbeam blender– the label on the bottom says 120v at 6.0 amps so it uses about 720 watts of power

   I have a GE iron. The label at the very end says 120 volts at 10 amps, so 120v x 10 amps = 1200 watts of power.

   I have a Bissell sweeper. There is a nameplate in the back down by the wheels. It says 120 volts at 12 amps. So 120v x 12 amps = 1440 watts of power, so it is the biggest hog of electricity in the house as far as appliances go.

   You can check your toaster…plates on the bottom same thing– 120v x 10 amps = 1200 watts
