Unconnected wall wart power consumption

[QUOTE="noname12345, post: 6452058, member: 583865"] Indeed. I was wandering around my house looking at all the devices that use wall warts and are designed to be plugged in permanently: Including: cordless vac; shavers; toothbrushes; hairclippers; PVRs; TV sticks; cordless phones; wifi hub; wifi extenders; LED desk lamp; LED monitors; alarm clocks; clock display/timers on conventional & microwave ovens; video games. And then there are all the transient ones that often get left plugged in when not in use: phone chargers; tablet chargers; laptop chargers; camera battery charger; satnav charger; LED torch charger; car battery charger; ebike charger; cordless tools(screw driver, drill, dremel, etc.). And several of them are well old -- 20yrs+ in a few cases -- so almost certainly linear tranformers. It just got me wondering how much all that convenience is costing per annum. [/QUOTE]
