How to Use the Appliance Wattage Database
Search or filter by category to find an appliance, and enter your own power station's capacity to see an estimated runtime for every appliance in the table at once, calculated the same way as the standalone Power Station Runtime Calculator.
This tool is built for comparing many appliances against one capacity simultaneously, rather than checking devices one at a time.
Choosing between running and surge columns
As covered in the running-vs-nameplate guide, use the running watts column for runtime and sizing questions, and the surge column specifically to check whether a motor-driven appliance can safely start on a given power station or generator.
Remembering these are typical, representative figures
As covered in the wattage-sticker guide, treat every figure here as a typical planning estimate rather than an exact spec for your specific model — check your own appliance's nameplate before finalizing an important purchase decision.
