It consume .5W on standby.

Thanks for the info.
Do you know if having a usb disk attached does affect energy consumption in standby ?

Having attached usb disk consume 3.5W at standby. Is electricity in your country expensive? I have so many smart gadget including lights, sprinklers, streamers, camera, tv and appliances hardly noticeable in electric bill.

Sorry, but .5W is not correct, it consume round about 5 Watt in standby.

That seems unlikely. That would be more than the Amp.

Where did you get 5W?

Hallo, 230V Mains Plug/ AC Powermeter/ Mains Cord, operation 5W, standby 4.9W during 30 Minutes after switch off to standby, always the same consume. There is no deep standby mode measureable, always 5W.

During your test, did the Ultra's screen show a clock?
I believe the pro plus was about 3W.

Hallo, no Screensaver, no Clock, nothing at all, connectet via WLAN to net.
The Powermeter is not a commercial one and not calibrated, it is a consumer one, only for info.

TBH if energy cost is your concern, things like the clock on the microwave or oven tend to be far less eco friendly than a Wiim on standby, same for outdoor lights etc..

It all adds up and electric energy is much more expensive in Europe than in e.g. the US.

Outdoor lights fair enough but I don't think an LED clock on a microwave or oven is going to consume 3W or more.

You'd be suprised, I have a very cheap Microwave and on standby it uses almost 30w to light up the clock and open door button.

Thats a lot, how much You must pay for 1 kw per hour, here in in Germany we paid round about .5 Euro per kw/h, 50 Eurocent

If their concern is power consumption then avoid adding any electronics as this would result in increase of monthly bill. Unplug unnecessary electronics you don’t use and if you’re frugal use candle to light up your home.

When I see a topic power consumption, it just makes me laugh. People should realize that adding anything that’s plug in on outlet uses electricity even not in use. Unplug or don’t add electronics if you’re going to complain power consumption.

That's rather irrational, to say the least.

I currently pay around $0.15 for a kw/h
