I love a good toy, especially a reasonably priced one. Went around checking most every thing in the house today. We have to go on generator power here a lot, so I wanted to make sure the mfg's ratings were in the ballpark. I've been told that they aren't always the most accurate, plus I can see what some stuff in the camper pulls. The camper microwave showed a whopping 1650 watts.
Most things were spot on with the posted rating with one big exception, the hair dryer was rated at 1850w and only pulled 950w on high heat.
Just a few things I checked
Computer monitor (older lcd)- 70w
Tower PC with attached speakers and small subwoofer-150w
Cable modem- 15w
Router- 20w
3yo 65" plasma tv-280w that was surprising
And my home coffee maker was a power drain at 1506w
