So now I’m prepared for what you’re going to say. When it comes to energy use, the fridge isn’t even close to the top dog. In our minds, it must be beneficial as it doesn’t drain the power grid too much.
An extension cable will work just fine with it. No way! Keep in mind that the power strip is always receiving voltage from a refrigerator. The takeaway here is that you need an extension cable to power this kind of gadget. Next, I’ll get into refrigerators, although this is relevant to freezers as well.
Number three: the washer
The annual energy consumption of a washing machine is around 1,150 kWh. Consequently, it is not a good choice for a power strip as it consumes a lot of electricity.
To prevent the extension cable from overheating or short circuiting, plug the washing machine into an electrical outlet. Tumble dryers are no different. You shouldn’t leave them connected to a power strip because of how much power they need.
4. Supplemental heating
I’m not saying you shouldn’t use it, but make sure you connect it into an outlet. Never using an extension cable; using one will cause the power strip to overflow extremely fast.
5. A microwave oven
The claim that this small metal box uses zero energy is completely false. On a yearly basis, a microwave may use around 70 kWh. Look, it’s not insignificant. Which is why using an extension cable is not a good idea.
