Wattage and Running Cost, by Model

The table

Every oven below carries a wattage its manufacturer actually published — in a manual, on a rating plate, or on the product page. The cost figures are computed from that wattage at 18.83¢ per kWh and 30 minutes a day, 365 days a year, and every one is an upper bound because the elements cycle off once the cavity is hot. Ovens with no published wattage are deliberately absent: we will not put a guessed number in a reference table.

Some names above link to a full review; the rest are cataloged on their category roundups. Rate: US EIA, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.3 — average residential price, US total, April 2026. Usage: 30 minutes a day, 365 days a year.

What the gaps tell you

Notice how short this table is against the number of ovens on the site. A large share of manufacturers — including several charging two and three hundred dollars — publish no wattage anywhere we could find. That is not our omission; it is theirs, and it is worth weighing when you choose. A brand that will not tell you what its oven draws has made a decision about how much it expects you to know, and one of our five scoring metrics rewards the brands that choose the other way. The rubric is published here.

Almost every full-size oven that does publish sits at 1,800 watts — the 15-amp circuit ceiling. The genuinely lower figures belong to the small four-slice ovens, which draw less because they heat less. That is the whole spread: 1,150 to 1,800 watts, and everything above the budget tier bunched at the top.
