I have a Speed Queen brand washer and dryer. I emailed the company asking how many watts their washer uses at peak times, like when the agitator begins to rotate for example. Here is their reply:
"For motors, you cannot calculate wattage by simply multiplying volts x amperage because of the power factor/ reactive power/ imaginary power."
Is this true??
