How to read appliance cost correctly

Do not judge an appliance by wattage alone. A 2000W geyser may run for 20 minutes, while a 200W refrigerator cycles throughout the day. The monthly bill impact comes from watts multiplied by actual running time.

When possible, use the appliance label, a smart plug meter, or the monthly bill before and after seasonal usage changes. That gives a much better answer than using generic wattage numbers.
