Power consumption iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)

[Andrea Filippini]

Hi everyone,
I have found the official power consumption for iMac.
Here's the page https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201918

Idle power consumption for iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009) is 104W. (configured with HDD)

Based on your experience, with SSD and display off (energy saver mode) what is the average power consumption for my model?

Thank you

Never measured power consumption but from my research some years ago, the SSD didn't use appreciably less power than the HDD. Display and processor are the two big power users.

Thank you.
Maybe I can use a wattmeter to figure out the power used.

I have a Kill a Watt meter that does a good job of measuring electrical usage of various devices. Just not in a position right now to measure my iMac.
