What does a femtowatt represent?

A femtowatt is an SI derived unit of power equal to 10⁻¹⁵ watt, used to describe extremely small energy transfer rates.

When should I convert femtowatts to dekajoules per second?

Converting from femtowatt to dekajoule per second helps to express very low power levels in a more scalable unit useful for larger energy measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for household appliances?

Dekajoule per second units are useful for expressing power levels typical of household appliances, but femtowatt is used for much smaller scales.
