I have personally run a blow dryer for more than three hours as a kid when we were out of wood and I was cold... Don't underestimate the stupidity of the general public! (You must've never had pipes freeze either...Heck for that matter, I've done it as an adult!)
So there! It is a continuous load...
Furthermore, in my opinion, any thing that can be turned on and left on without it shutting itself off within three hours with a timer, thermostat or some type of control, would be considered a continuous load.
I realize that it is very arguable, that's why I said that there is
controversy on whether they are legal.
And don't forget to exaggerate for clarity!
