Depending on the model, a vacuum cleaner can use from around 400 Watts up to 1500 Watts.
So, if you want to know how much electricity does your vacuum cleaner use, first you need to know how many watts does your vacuum cleaner consume.
The power consumption of your vacuum cleaner should be described on the specification’s label.
If not, you may do a search on the internet as we are showing on the picture above.
As an example, our vacuum cleaner does use 620 Watts (W) or 0,62 Kilowatts per hour (kWh). Because we are paying to our electricity provider 0,217 euro per every kWh we consume, this means that our vacuum cleaner does cost us 0,134 per every hour of usage.
Once you know the power consumption, the calculator below can be used to estimate the power consumption and the electricity cost of a vacuum cleaner over a period of time.
You just need to adjust the values in the PARAMETERS section to your requirements and the calculator will automatically display the RESULTS section.
For example, if your vacuum cleaner:
You will be paying around 10 euro (or dollars, or pounds, or…) per year in electricity costs.
A few other examples from our ‘Electricity usage calculators‘ page that may be of your interest:
Not everybody it is familiar with terms like Watts, Kilowatts or Kilowatt hours so if you would like to learn more about them, have a look to this video that we have prepared for you.
Additionally, you may need to convert current and voltage into power so the calculator below may be of use for you . Alternatively, yo may have a look to our other calculators for one that fits your need.
Energy conservation can be defined as the decision and the act of using less energy
Energy conservation both benefit you and the environment
The act of saving and conserving electricity does benefit you because you will be paying less on your energy bills.
And it also does benefit the environment because conserving electricity prevents any unnecessary waste of natural resources.
Now, at individual level it may not look worth to try to save a few watts here or there.
Still, every little counts and if hundreds or thousands of us do save a little every time, it will make an important contribution towards conserving our natural resources.
For example, if 9000 households would manage to save as little as 10 Watts per hour (0,01 kWh) worth of electricity per day, that would add to 32850 Kilowatt hour (kWh) per year.
That is a considerable amount of electricity, but let’s add additional perspectives for clarity:
In any case it is clear that small energy savings do really count when looking into the bigger picture.
