I can't find watt info for the Nest wired doorbells, but the battery-powered version of the same comes with a 7.5W charger. Let's round that up to 20W just for the sake of argument, maybe the wired ones draw a lot more. doorbell: 20W * 24hrs = 480Wh dishwasher: 1200W * 2hrs = 2400Wh Your doorbell takes 5 days to use as much power as your dishwasher does in one cycle. 2 doorbells is still 2.5 days. So no, they are not using more aggregate power than your every-other-day dishwasher usage.

> dishwasher: 1200W * 2hrs = 2400Wh I don’t expect this is accurate napkin math for my dishwasher. It’s rated in the range of 240 kWh per year for four loads per week, which puts it under 1200 Wh per load - and that’s for for the standard wash cycle, and I use the “Energy Saver” cycle (which does use extra water, but less energy.).
