Watt census, take 2

[Continued from Watt census, take 1]

Measurements
Making a pot of coffee (decaf): 80 Wh
Running the dehumidifier on 55% for 24h (August): 5.7 kWh
Box fan on low (medium): 88 (118) W
Amplifier: 133 W
Toast: 944 W (16 Wh)
Washer: 0.27 kWh for our usual cycle
Dryer: 0.42 kWh for our usual cycle
Charge cell phone: about 4 Wh
Desktop computer: 1.2 kWh for 24h typical use (1.1 kWh day, 70 Wh sleeping overnight)

And, our Boom eats only 5 Watts while playing music (streaming over the wifi). That strikes me as impressive; I think our old tabletop boombox drew ten with its standby lamp.

So, it costs me two cents' electricity have coffee and toast and listen to Red Headed Stranger. Huh.
