Is your foodsaver sucking up your power bill?

Is your foodsaver sucking up your power bill?
Well this morning I went to move my food saver and I felt the back of the unit was warm..
I thought that was odd it is turned off.
I got my killawatt meter and I found it was pulling 5 watts of power turned off….
Yes that is not much power, but over time that does add up. I will be unplugging my food saver from here on out.
Just a FYI.

It is this model…

We pretty much keep all of our countertop appliances (except for the microwave/air fryer/convection oven) unplugged when not in use.

Same here.

Some items the power switch kills power to all, others it does not. But keeping unplugged or on a power strip that you can flip for all items sure can make a difference, as it seems you already know.

We do as well.
