eli5 Why do some appliances consume more power than others where it all get an input of 220v / 110v?

Voltage doesn’t come pushing out of the socket. It just sits there stupidly doing nothing. Then somebody plugs in a toaster and the earth sucks the electricity and sucks hard through the little toaster wires, pulling the juice out of the wall. The earth sucks so hard the electricity jams up in the toaster and those skinny little wires get real hot. Heaters suck up a lot and get hot. LED light just sip a little juice and don’t get all jammed up full of electrons and hot. Like that.
