Anything recent will be =1W on standby (except set-top boxes).
A very old TV might be 8W on standby.

Interestingly, I found that our new Hotpoint washing machine shows 10
watts when 'stopped' (just the power light on) at the end of a wash..!

most washers pulls some power even when supposidly switched off by the front

Yes, I was just surprised how much. The old washer didn't; it had one of
those mechanical rotary switches/timers.
