Get yourself a "Kill-a-Watt" meter for about $30 or so, available from a
number of sources. Very handy little gadget which among other things
functions as a Watt-hour meter so for your 120V 15A (1800W) or less
appliances you can measure what the real world power consumption is.


22.99 at Amazon.com. Just ordered one, I have a feeling there may be some
power usage changes in my near future.

I highly recommend Kill-A-Watts, they are very valuable, even just at
debunking vacuum salesmen. (2HP vacuum cleaners drawing 8 amps, etc)

I find it to be a very useful accessory to use with my little Honda
EU2000 generator I use with my camper. Really helps to be able to see
the actual load I'm putting on it.
