I think it depends on how old the appliance is. For example our old CRT
Sony television was using almost the same power on standby as it was
when turned on. The new LCD HD one uses just 1 watt on standby.

Interesting is our 18 month old Hotpoiunt washing machine. When it
finishes a wash, it stops and just leaves a power light on. Our old
Hotpoint used nothing more than the mains neon; the new 'electronic' one
uses (allegedly) 10 watts...
