Can anyone tell me what the consumption rate is on the LP?

I am assuming you are referring to the Smoker's consumption rate in terms of pounds per hour of propane. This unit has two 10,000 BTU burners, if you run both burners wide open, you will burn a total of 20,000 BTUs per hour. One pound of Propane equals 21,500 BTUs, divide 21,500 BTUs by the BTU rating of the smoker(20K BTUs), so the consumption rate of propane is 1.075 pounds/hour. DC

Best info I can give you is a 16hr smoke with both burners on used about 1/4 of a 20lb. Tank

I measured it once with a meter... I can't remember all that well (measured it when I got it last year).... I think it is around 80-85 dba within 1 meter of the unit (according to my decibel measuring device)...... but certainly less in the fuel conservation mode.... it is not too bad.... similar to most units ... maybe more but not as much as some of the older units... I like it and I am always concerned about the dba....

I haven't had mine long enough to tell but anecdotal observations indicate that the batteries/unit seem to follow the "standard" Lithium discharge rate of 5-10% a month. Wikipedia and Google can lead you to more "in depth" analysis if you want......I find it helpful to just think of it as a big cell phone battery (can I leave my cell phone off for a month and turn it on etc). The key to storage is temperature (cooler is better then warm), you really start to digress into the more "in depth" stuff as soon as you ask the question :0 Sorry if that is not specific enough I tried to explain "it depends". Overall I have found the unit/device to be of high quality and am unsure as to what an $80 10400mah battery would offer over this one. There very well may be nuance's but for the average and above average user you won't be able to tell the difference.

This is a low-voltage device. The power pack consumes 20 watts. If my math is correct, that's 50 hours of use per kilowatt hour (most likely the unit fee for your electricity) consumed. You will probably spend more replacing octenol cartridges and light bulbs in this unit than you will on electricity.

It actually uses less than my previous unit, my cost for a month of continual usage bout$ 60

The voltage is 120 Volt. The consumption is 210 watts, this means 210 x 24 = 5040 Watts per 24 hours, if you pay like me $0.12 per Kilowatt, the cost per day (24 hours) will be $0.60.

I would say ink consumption is acceptable. You can also purchase economy priced ink that works very well, at a savings that is also acceptable. I get it from Amazon.com too.

I've personally had mine for a couple years now. But where I'm at with it, I can get about an hour, give or take, with heavy usage (i.e. watching HD videos online, etc.).

Ryan, No, I have not tested it for power consumption. That said, It does not make my lights dim when I turn it on. My son has the Emotiva Pro 5 powered speakers and that is also a killer deal. If you prefer a standalone amp and speaker set-up, I am driving a pair of Peachtree Audio DS 4.5 speakers ($300.00 on clearance down from $600) and it is extremely musical considering the size. Best 300 bucks I ever spent on Audio, with this amp being second. If I just went by my electric bill, it is the same, on average, as usual. This is not super high end sound, but it is definitely much better than a receiver, and with the soft dome tweeters on the DS 4.5, which are designed for near field listening, I am thrilled.

Adding more to my collection since my original review, 30 is definitely af the high end. Must be for simple single packed albums. I've got a mix of single LP, double LPs, and at least one three LP album. A further handful of those are 180 grams. At twenty albums (not records) I probably could only fit a couple more.

I can't say I noticed a serious spike in my bill. I don't run this unit on a continued basis. I would imagine you can contact the manufacture for usage data.

Hi, thanks question. It will be borne by the purchaser if the tariff is applied. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure. I charged it when it arrived. It didn't take long, so I'm guessing it wasn't needing much!

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.

Hi Mr. Hogan,I installed a Kill-A-Watt from Radio Shack tonight. While using an internal Seagate 500GB hard drive the meter shows usage is 5 Watts and .07 amp draw. The figures are different from one electric provider to the next. As an example, my local electric company charges me 12 cents per kWh during peak season and 11 cents during off peak season. It's costing me $5.26 per/year running 24/7/365.It's been running flawlessly since December 25, 2012. Yes, over a year and I share family pictures to lots of family members. Very easy to use.I hope this helps.Thanks,Terry Mundy Hi Mr. Hogan,I installed a Kill-A-Watt from Radio Shack tonight.

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-use The unit is 580 watts. Based on the calculator on the above page, I probably spend about $12/month to run the distiller (I distill about a gallon per day). Assuming I've done the math right ;)

Not a clue- all I know is that I downloaded because I paid for it and also am not happy with the product -it really raises electric bill.
