Misleading statement by Martin Lewis on microwaves
Comments

That said quick extrapolation from cooking the beans suggests our 800w microwave would come out at 7p
It neither a good nor bad statement but will convince some to try the unused microwave more in these times.0 -
Hi OP
Thank you for that.
Even the best can make mistakes
We must balance this with what MSE/Martin has done for millions of people in the UK, IE help them to keep in check as far as possible and hold accountable those that are trying to profiteering from the ordinary citizen. Along wit that and much much more you get easy to access, and understand articles to help us get VFM
Thank you MSE/Martin and Team

I've got a couple of 1 watt bulbs, several 3 watts and all the GU10's in my kitchen (10), bathroom (5) and utility room (2) are all 4 watt.stewie_griffin said:3W LED lightbulbs aren’t uncommon. I think they produce about 270 lumens.Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers0
