Electricity Standby Costs
25 Answers
I always switch my tv off on the set, to save electricity. However I heard on the radio today that other things left plugged in also use electrcity. I mentioned microwave ovens and mobile phone chargers, laptop chargers, etc. I also have paper shredder, electric 800W fire kettle, washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher. Can anyone tell me if any of these things actually addd to electricity costs. I always assumed that it was only on tv standby that could use electricity.

I can't see that completely powering down a printer when it's not in use (by removing the plug or switching off at a wall socket) is going to prevent it messaging the printer's manufacturer when power is restored to it. Further, anyone who is trying to save money (which, after all, is the theme of this thread) most definitely shouldn't be buying 'original' inks from the manufacturer in the first place!
