Examples include but not limited to....... Washing machine, vacuum cleaner, Coin Operated Kiddie Rides(LOL!), Garage door openers,etc... what's the average HP Rating on the electric motors for things like that? I am just curious.

That can vary so much that I can't give an average. You can probably find a typical rating of different appliances. But one thing you can count on, if it plugs into a normal 15A 120V outlet, it will be under 1 HP. Appliances are not necessarily marked with the motor HP, and it can be confusing because things like shop vacs and air compressors especially are have advertising of "peak" horsepower or some such, which is maybe the power right before the motor stalls or something and not the motor's rating.

there are 746watts in 1 hp so take 120v multiply by the motor amps that will give you the watts ex. 120v x 2amps 240watts divided by 746 equals .321 hp
