Today I measured the power consumption of my 6-month old Panasonic NN ST659W microwave.
It uses ~66W of power doing absolutely nothing.
66W * 24 hours * 365.2 days = 578 kWh / year
That is about $100 NZD of power per year (at a lean 17c/unit) without even cooking one packet of 2 minute noodles!
Shame on you Panasonic.
Next time in Shame on you, does the Sony EX520 series really only draw 0.2W in standby mode?
