How much electricity does this use?

The Eddy system only uses 5 watts of power which is about what a night light uses. The good news is that the systems works - we have no more mineral deposits in coffee makers, on glasses and shower heads etc.

We have the Eddy for 2 months and the electric bill has not gone up. We think it uses the same electricity as a light bulb.

I really have no way of telling since we bought it in our first year in this house. I don't think it makes a very big impact.

I can't tell you how much power the unit draws but I found that it increased my electric bill about $15 per month while it was running and there is a drain hose so you don't have to use the tray. The drain hose is short but you could hook up your own hose to extend it.

I haven't noticed an increase on my electric bill and haven't measured electricity usage specifically for this device. It does go into a sleep mode when not in use. When we are going to be gone or won't be using the computers for a while ii usually turn off the power supply for this and the rest of my network peripherals.

It is not at all powered by electricity. There is a battery operated monitor but I don't think that would be an issue. We don't use that feature anyway.

Well, since you asked:I would assume a rate of $0.10/kwh So just multiply that times the estimated usage vs an incandescent bulb of equivalent wattage.Have fun with this one!

According to the owner's manual it consumes 600 watts. A label affixed to the back of the unit states the same, 600 watts consumption.

Thanks very much for the response. After entering my question, I figured out how to fake it myself with what I've got. I just put the cost of electricity at 1.00 per kWh. So now after any amount of time, instead of it telling me how much money I've used each month/year, etc... I just read how many kWh I've used each time period. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the $20 device, but it isn't always easy. :)

I've never done a calculation on it, but these lights can't use more that a few watts per hour due to being LED.If I had to venture a guess, MAYBE $1 a month to run 2 every night. That's probably overestimating.

Sorry, I don't know Watt consumption, but you can probably find the answer the the Manufacturer website.

I do not know the wattage and I am not using it often enough to notice an increase in my electric bill.

I found on the manufactures website it said, 1 kilowatt per 24 hours. That seems like an average and should be the best answer if you're trying to compute operating cost. If you're looking for load on your electrical system that is where I'd have to start guessing, but I couldn't imagine a situation where it was drawing even half a toasters worth of power. Not very scientific but maybe it still helps

I just bought a space saver 6. I use a Kill-a-Watt device to measure the power consumption. It is around 40 watt per hour.

The device is rated at .8 of a watt. In the worst case, if it runs in a room that stays completely dark 24 hours a day (e.g., never shuts off), for 30.25 days a month it will consume about 6.3 cents of electric power per month, assuming that you pay about 11 cents per kilowatt hour including taxes (as I do). The calculation is .8 watts * 24 hours * 30.25 days / 1000 watts (kilowatt) * .11 (the cost of a kilowatt hour). Your actual cost will probably be something less, because light in the room will shut the light off for some part of the day, and some light in the room will cause the device to dim and thereby also use less power than the .8 watt that it is rated at.

Buy a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt meter......they're about 19 bucks and will tell you exactly how much power its using

Runs all the time . Not sure about the watts . Very little effect on my electric bill, if that's what worries you .

http://www.daftlogic.com/information-appliance-power-consumption.htm I sent a link. The heater uses about the same wattage as a clothes dryer.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.
