They go out of their way to hide it. A friend of mine moved here with a 120
volt industrial strength HP laser printer. The specs said 325 watts, the
current draw was listed as 8 amps max on the last page of the manual.

Nothing much hidden the 8 Amps, 120 volts, 960 watts. That's damned
close to a thousand watts, IMHO.

My point was that the 8 amps was only on the last page of the manual, not
anywhere else, including the web page, sticker on the printer, specs page
at the begining of the manual and so on.

Ah, I see your point.
