Which Household Appliances Consume the Most Electricity?

1. Air Conditioner: The device that ensures we always have a comfortable temperature in the house or apartment can cause very high consumption. A ceiling fan can be used as an alternative.

2. Refrigerator: The refrigerator is indispensable in every household, it is always present and always switched on. Consumption can vary depending on size and energy class, but generally accounts for 15 percent of the consumption on the electricity bill.

4. Washing Machine: In fourth place is the washing machine, which consumes a lot of energy, especially when it is also used as a dryer. To minimize costs, one should avoid starting the wash cycle with an empty or half-empty drum and not use too high temperatures. 

5. Oven: The oven is frequently used in the kitchen and is even indispensable for some recipes. However, if you use it often, the electricity bill will quickly increase, as it is also a kitchen appliance with high energy consumption. 

6. Air Fryer: This accessory has made its way into our households because of its speed and user-friendliness. In reality, it is nothing more than a mini-oven, although it is a viable alternative to the oil fryer, also in terms of health.
