Running on one 20 amp slo-blo fuse (and circuit breakers are all
slo-blow, iiuc.) I never blew the 20 amp fuse by using the big model 2
Amana microwave, and I'm sure the fridge went on some of those times
over 5 years.

But blown breakers turn out to be a problem, mayybe

If this gets to be a problem, and you could convince the ll this would
be a long term solution, maybe a breaker accessible to you could be
installed and the one behind the entertainment center bypassed if that
would be legal.

But I would never even suggest that until I had stopped using 3 big
items at the same time.

You may not have realized before how much a hair dryer or toaster oven
uses. They use enormous amounts. Generally speaking, things that
make electric heat or remove heat use the most current. Things that
make light are next, except for fluorescents. Motors use even less,
if they drive fans or turn CDs, but use a lot if they drive AC
compressors. Clocks and transistor radios, even the ones that plug
in, use very little.
