How to estimate robot vacuum correctly
The 40 W and 2 h/day values are an editable example, not a claim about every model. This appliance is best treated as per-cycle use.
What to verify
Check the rating plate for input watts and use a plug-in energy meter when the appliance changes power during operation.
Formula
Power (W) ÷ 1,000 × active hours × electricity rate. This example uses 0.08 kWh/day, 2.4 kWh/30 days and 29.2 kWh/year.
Accuracy limit
The calculator prices the values you enter. It cannot know thermostat cycles, power modes, losses, appliance condition or the exact tariff on your bill; verify those inputs for a decision.
