1) For a typical family home of 4 people the appliance that uses the most electricity is the electric cooker. That’s assuming it is on for 50 minutes each day cooking tasty meals for the family 🙂Â
2) A kettle can use almost as much electricity as a shower, assuming you boil it 10 times a day, and assuming 4 people each take a 6-minute shower.Â
3) Electric tumble dryers use a lot of energy too. Can you think of other ways to dry clothes?Â
