in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour. the unit is 1500 watts on high. so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour. on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

The heater is rated at 1.5 killowatts (1500W) and the average cost of electricity in the US is $.12kw/hr. So at the recommended/max treatment time of 6hrs they all multiply together to get $1.08 per run.

Pay an installer. $300-$500. It's worth it to me. But I guess it depends on how much time you have on your hands.

WE're careful about how much we use it, but we live in SoCal with the highest electric rates in the continental US. You can do the arithmetic yourself. The heater runs at 750 (L) and 1500 (H) watts. Look at a recent electrical bill and see what the cost/kWhr is in your area. Let's say its $0.20/kWhr (typical for SoCal), then 1 hour of using the heater at high will run you $0.30 (1.5kW x $0.20/kWhr), and one month of this will run you 30 days x $0.30/day = $9.00/ month. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, like my in-laws, where electricity is cheap ($0.06/kWhr), then it will cost a lot less (only $2.70/month) for that 1 hour/day.

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-useThe 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 ;)

it's 110v I don't the watts right off hand but it runs about $10.00 a month to run

It uses 1500 watts per hour. In my area electricity is about 14 cents/kilowatt. So, if you use if for three hours per day that would be 135 kilowatts per month and cost $18.90/month. I use it to help heat our finished basement (14ftx42ft) and it does a great job. It's not cost effective to have it on all day long, but if I know I'm going to be in the basement I'll set if for 3-4 hours. It'll take the temp from 65 degrees up to 69 in well under an hour (more like 30-40 minutes).

It will be based on what your city charges for rates per watt. The company K and H advised me that it would be pennies per day.

Definitely around that amount. I usually charge around once a week and it charges in about 1 to 2 hours.

Not sure... My friend who is an electrician help install it. He figure out it would cost me about .75 cents an hour to run it up here in Juneau Alaska ..... Think we are up to something like .12 cents a kilowatt hour. Hope that helps you.

It runs continuously. I have a device that measures electricity costs and if the fan runs 100% (without the compressor turning on) I am showing only a cost of about $2-$3 per month. A lot of models seem to be this way; the claim is that it keeps the air circulating and makes the unit more efficient to run. If it prolongs the life of the device; it will be worth it in the end.

I haven't try to run it continuously, but I used it periodically on high setting for probably 3 hours total without charging. Overall it is a cute thing, but seriously overpriced.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

I'm pretty sure you would spend more on gas to run the generator than you will on electricity. That's just my guess.

I have my PC , laptop & Printer plugged into it. That's quite a bit of $$$ .

Rated at 600 watts , It takes .6 kWh to run for an hour. That's slightly over a half a kilowatt hour. That's how you buy electricity by the kWh. You need to know how much you pay for electricity to know what it would cost you to run. But, for example. If electricity in your area is .13 a kWh it would cost you about one half a kWh or one half of .13 , which is .065 cents to run this appliance for a whole hour. Since you use it for 5 minutes to make 1 sandwich, the cost to make one sandwich is negligible. Put a different way. It would cost .065 cents (slightly over a nickel) to make 12 sandwiches.
