definitely more than a dryer and you won't get the heat you may get from a dryer if you use the dryer exhaust for heat.... i bought that piece for my garage but is not effective, in winter time at least....

I used a kill-a-watt to measure how much power is used. I'm assuming a worst case scenario of 24hrs a day operation and a power cost of 10 cents per kwh.In the fan high mode, the unit uses 65watts. 65watts x 24hrs=1560 watts /1000= 1.56kwh x .10= 15.6 cents per day1.56kwh x 30=46.8kwh x .10= $4.68 per month46.8kwh x 12=561.6kwh x .10= $56.16 per yearKeep in mind that your unit will probably never run anywhere near 24hrs a day so cost will be lower. Mine ran non-stop for 2-3 days and now it cycles on and off on low to easily maintain 40% humidity for 2100 sqft. For those interested, the unit draws 55 watts on medium, and 45 watts on low.

I have my PEET plugged into a Kill-A-Watt meter, with my rates, leaving my dryer plugged in for months, my daily cost is $.09, monthly cost is $2.80.

It depends on the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kw-hr) from your power company. A kw-hr is 1000 watts of electrical load for 1 hour. So, for each hour of operation, that heater uses 1.5 kw-hrs. Multiply that by the cost of the electricity per kw-hr and you'll know how much that heater costs to run each hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours it's operating in a month and you'll know the impact on your monthly bill. For example, if electricity costs 10 cents per kw-hr, the heater costs 15 cents an hour to operate. That's $3.60 per 24 hour day, $25.20 per 7 day week, and $108 for a 30-day month.

I checked with my husband. your clothes dryer runs on 220 the regular outlets in the houe are 110 these units work on 110. YES this will plug in a regular 110 service. They actually use very little electricity. It is a very good unit.

Very wet and it is amazing how long it takes clothes to dry that way. That is why I bought a mini-dryer as well so for about $100 total for the washer and dryer, our family cleans delicates and daily wash when we don't have a full load in these units. The kids actually have fun doing the laundry and we leave the majority of clothes for our front-loaders. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HT0958/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used a Killawatt unit to measure my new ADR30A2G. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day.

I used my Kill-A-Watt to measure mine and after 2275 hours on it broke down to 26 cents a day/ $7.99 a month to keep my 14' by 12' office at 70 degrees. Very efficient. It pulls 11amps/1262watts when running at full blast. I've had mine for at least 4 years and it still works wonderfully.

the same as a regular dryer. and I use it at least 2 times a week and there has not been any spike in my electric bill. also it is so quiet I can be on the phone. so far best purchased I have made for a dryer.

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.

in my region the unit costs $1.00 an hour to run on the 5000 watt mode. so its actually quite expensive to run if it were to run for several hours each day, we just run it on weekends when were in the gararge and that's about it but works very well!

I only use mine 3 or 4 days a week for my son's soccer cleats. I put them on the dryer at 8pm and turn it off the next morning by 7am. I haven't noticed my electric bill being more. It doesn't require a lot of power.

I ran a full cycle with the Kill-A-Watt, during the steam process it was using 473w (10 mins) and the drying cycle was 130w (45 mins). At the end of the cycle it used 0.19kwh.

Reading the label on the unit, it says it uses 72 watts of electricity. In my area, where electricity is about 14 cents per kilowatt hour, that seems to be a little less than 1 cent per hour. It's a small price to pay for what the light appears to do.

I looked on all the packaging I have, along with looking on the dryer itself, and I can't find anything to reveal the wattage. It performs better than my last hairdryer, which was 1875 watts.
