To compute for appliances not found or listed

Follow the steps above. For “Type of Appliance“, select “Others“ at the bottom of the list. For “Wattage“, type in the wattage rating found in the operator’s manual or on the body of the appliance (usually in watts or w). NOTE: Choose GENERAL APPLIANCES if you are unsure of a category.

To compute using specific wattages

Follow the steps above. Change the wattage that appears after Step 3 with the wattage found in the operator’s manual or on the body of the appliance (usually in watts or w).

MAC computations estimate the hourly, daily, weekly and monthly costs to operate an appliance. The results reflect controlled laboratory conditions and may vary in actual use of the appliance. Factors that affect the operation and efficiency of appliances (e.g., age of unit, wear and tear of parts, wrong operation, room temperature, mishandling, etc.) can bring different results to different customers.
