99% do not know! The home appliance that consumes the most electricity is actually it




When you're not at home, your home TV, air conditioner, router, etc... are turned off or left alone?

Recently, CCTV Finance is true? The reporter of the program group did an experiment of “stealing electric thief”. If you don’t see it, the electric fee generated by standby of the measured household appliances is basically one-third of the total amount of electricity. The biggest stealing electric thief in the home turned out to be a humble set-top box. . .


The experiment selected four common household appliances such as air conditioners, TVs, microwave ovens, and set-top boxes.

Experimental staff Yu Haibo, Senior Engineer, National Grid State Grid Measurement Center

As a result of the experiment, the normal power of the set-top box is 15.4 watts, and its standby power is 15.2 watts, which is almost the same as the power consumption during work. It is much higher than the air conditioner (1.11 watts for standby power) and microwave oven (0.32 watts for standby). ) and TV (standby 0.2 watts)!

The experimental results are unexpected




The set-top boxes lurking in the living room are often overlooked by everyone, quickly telling mom and dad to remember to pull the plug after turning off the TV.



In addition, there is also a "stealing electric thief" in the kitchen?
