how much electric would this unit use if used for 5 days, 24 hours a day? also, do you have a little bigger one?

Hello, Thank you for your interest on our products. Unfortunately this kiln can't works continuously longer then 12 hours and in any case it takes 850 Watt in hour. Hope this information will be useful to you. With Regards. Yossef

Did not have unit long enough. But from what I saw. You needed to turn on and off to save the battery, but believe when not in use very little battery drain occurrs. So day to day I was not going to turn it off and see if I could get by with 3-4 days w/o a charge.

I have 5 100 watt and 7 group 96 deep cycle batteries and I can run a 5000 btu air conditioner for most of the day time. If you need more help email me at keithlmcneese@yahoo.com

I purchased this unit last year. It is used to heat a 20x16 foot bedroom in our cellar. I measured its electricity usage using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter, in early March in Maine. As near as I can tell, using it all day (with its automatic thermostat to shut it off when not needed), it probably was "ON" approx. 4-7 hours per day in a cool March. Working the usage numbers to a per-month estimate, I came up with 470 KWH per March. At our KWH fees, that translated to approx. $63.33 per month. I had previously measured three other electric heaters using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter. All three used TWICE the electricity than this Lasko. I purchased this unit last year.

Depends on where you live. I live on Oregon Coast in a 5th wheel full time. I use one unit (wired) full time in rainy season in living area and use the two wireless units in the closets. I recharge about every 10 days. It also helps to keep your heat on.

Not sure about the multi times daily. I am only power on once a day and you set it by setting a start time HH:MM and off time HH:MM. I am not in the same state as the timer now so I can't look at the setup sheet.I am using it to turn a heater on for 2 hrs a day even though it is not intended for thermostat devices. That was not know until I opened the unit and read the setup sheet. So cold in my use it won't cycle so should last awhile.Will look this weekend and try to post a 2nd response.

I had the same question and looked up the wattage which stated 56. So if it ran on that setting 24 hours that's 1.3 KW or approximately 1,344 watts per day. I'm paying on average 17 cents per kilowatt, that would be roughly 22 cents per day, $80.00 per year.

Yes, just plug it in to dedicated outlet, fill it up turn it on, ready in 24 hours.

I ran the unit for 8 hours on 4 gallons of gas. the more amps you pull the more gas it uses. I ran a water heater witch pulled about the max the unit had and 4 gallons lasted 6 hours.

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

From a $$$ perspective, we run ours about 12 hours a day. Impact on electric bill is about $1 per day. Hope this helps.

I had it over-loaded with christmas lights for a float. At least 900 watts, likely more and all of it continuous load, not surge. We pulled that float all around town and probably got 3.5 hours out of it (maybe more) before I had to refill. If you ran it with a 700 or 800 watt load and didn't get at least 4 or 5 hours, I'd be suprised. Having said that, we did this 9 and a half months ago so the details may be a little fuzzy... But I honestly was very suprised how well this little genny ran. I actually expected it to fail due to how long we were running it with that heavy of a load. I wouldn't try that heavy a load for that long if I was using this as a home power source. Remember you are getting this guy for under a hundo...

I don't know how amps per hour the unit used. I used it for 4 days on reelfoot lake,tenn and didn't have to recharge my battery. this is all I've used it so far. the unit performed real well for me. I used it on one of their 14ft boats

Uses battery L1154 and it last me about 5 days of daily use of about 12 hours.

Not too smart, but here goes. Minimal power is consumed during standby. The unit operates on 1 or 2 AA batteries. Can't remember which. The power consumption of 12 volts is determined by the load size. Small load minimal draw. Large load big draw down. I am using mine on 60 watt aerators. They run 5 hours during the day and 8 hours at night. They are powered by 2 100ah batteries on each unit. They charging is done with 150 watts of solar panels. Batteries stay charged and the aerators run when scheduled. Sorry for the long answer that really says nothing.

It is rated at 17 watts. So 17watts x 24 hours x 30 days = 12240 watt-hours or 12.240 kw. At $0.10 per kw it would cost $1.24.
