Does this use a lot of electricity? Did your bill go up a lot?

I got this fridge for my daughter, who lives in a college dormitory. I cannot imagine it using a lot of electricity as it is very compact (just enough space not to overstuff it with junk :)). I believe in its description it also mentions being energy efficient, so again.. I think you'll be getting a great, efficient product. One thing I do know for sure, my daughter loves it! She said it looks very cool and is well designed where she can comfortably store her essentials.

Sorry Alex, I don't know the answer although there was no significant increase in my electric bill.

the $80 answer is outrageous!!! I guess different places have different electric prices but if we left ours on for about 12-15 hours a day, every day, our bill went up by 25-30$ a month, MAX. It also depends what type of space you are heating and how well insulated it is. We find it extremely helpful in an old house in the high rockies but a family member in Florida (who is trying to heat an uninsulated house) finds it nice but not as helpful as we do. We can't live without it and as people with a very low electric bill, we do not find this heater to add any stress to our bill. we've had it two years and i highly recommend it. especially for the price - comparable heaters are much more.

Too much. Its a decoration now. I don't use it. I got it to cut down on my electric heat costs but it went up after I started using it.

Definitely not! Our electric company will provide us with a special meter that can plug into ANY device, and it shows you how much energy is being used and at what cost. They should probably look into something like that in their state. But we did not see any significant increase like that. Sorry you are experiencing such an issue, because it really is a great product, and our son and daughter have both benefited from its use. Good luck!

Our electric bill went WAY up using this thing. We live in SoCal, with those high electric bills, and found just using the whole house furnace (ours is energy efficient) and heating the entire house was much cheaper than using this piece of junk to heat a single room.

I am not sure of the question. As far as my electric bill it went up very little and it is on 24/7.

I have not noticed any increase in my electric bill. The fan is used primarily in a bedroom on the medium setting. It works great!

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.

Hi Kim, my wife and I had the same concerns that you are having before we purchased our Duraflame. We used our Duraflame last winter and was very surprised at how little our electric bill went up. I can't tell you the exact numbers as to cost and electrical use but I can tell you not to worry about usage. Hope this helps. Bill

Can't really answer the question because it replaced a broken ac unit so no noticeable change in the electric bill. Also we have 6 units so our electric bill is always high and depends how much we use our ac units

Hi Mac. Not that I can tell. I can only assume that is hasn't, or, is costing less. I have not seen a jump in my power bill. The way this Whynter runs compared to the LG I had before tells me it draws less juice. Sorry I can't be more help then that.

The amount of power doesn't change if you use the tray or the hose. My electric bill has gone up about $15- $20 a month, but my basement is very comfortable to walk into. Doesn't have that moldy, musty smell anymore.

Wow. All of these other people have low bills compared to mine. Our electricity bill went up $140/month. But let me explain... #1-It's winter #2-Our children are in it almost all day long. In short, if you have the jacuzzi covered most of the time it will stay hot and cost you way less than it does us. But because the cover is off during cold temperatures, the jacuzzi constantly is heating.

Rose, as I have stated before, I don't know exactly the amount of electricity used, however, I do know that my electric bill went up only slightly, while we saved a surprising amount of propane. Very satisfied with the overall savings.

It is a very low cost. Electric bill barley moved up last winter. I can't give you an exact figure since that was the first winter here but my son keeps his heat at 65 and uses the duraflame day and night. His bills are about $100.00 per month. He is in a double wide trailer. Far cheaper than oil.

Mine says 36 watts on the bottom. If you have average electric rates of $0.10 / kWh), it would 9 cents per 24 hour day or $2.60 per month to operate continuously. If your electric rates are on the low side (Midwest and Pacific NW), maybe half that. If your rates are high (New England, California, Alaska, Hawaii), than twice as much.We (in Kenai, Alaska) leave one plugged in all the time in the Winter and rotate whose shoes are on it. If we've just come back from a skiing or fishing trip, than I've two more in the garage that I plug in as needed.
