how much electricity does it burn
1612468
Sorry Maggie I can't tell you how much but I can tell you that it doesn't save money on heat costs. I used it in my main living space to keep my elderly dog warm since I keep the furnace low to burn gas less frequently. I saw a significant jump in my utility bill while using it. Looking back I think the whole speel about "saves u $ is" completely untruthful. I actually would recommend a different smaller product that runs about $40 bucks that you can set the degree of the temperature and it doesn't impact my utility bill nearly as much as this product it is the DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500w digital ceramic heater w/ remote and eco nrg settings. Highly recommend that.

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.

It doesn't say in the manual but using standard conversion table the heater produces 750 watts which at US standard 110 volts which converts to 6.25 amps and on high it produces 1500 watts so draws 13.64 amps. Hope this helps.Side note, we have been using this heater almost daily for the past four months and think it's the best of 5 or 6 heaters (different types/brands) we've tried over the past few years.

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.

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

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.

It uses a reasonable amount of electricity. Last winter I went from oil heat to electricity only and my electric bill was less than 3 times the previous year during the coldest winter months here in New England.

With 12 hours a day usage, it should be around 1 kw a week or 50 Kw a year. The problem though, is that due to the bad quality of the unit, they turn into permanently "ON" lights after some few weeks of use and the electricity consumption will raise along. I do not recommend anybody to purchase this unit

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 estimate about $0.20/hour at my current electric cost of 0.13472634 kWt. That would be at the full 1500 kWt setting but I usually use the Low setting, which still kicks out a lot of heat.

No..it doesn't use ANY electricity. Works exclusively off of the heat from a stove burner.

Unable to provide an accurate estimate since I use this for only occasional spot heating .I do know that it uses little energy when used in conjunction with a whole house heating system.

Based on what I am seeing, it wastes very little energy.I needed 2 amps peak. This unit will operate continuously at 2 amps.Because I do not have it running at maximum current, I do not know the amperage at which it gets hot enough to need a heat sink.It appears that losses from the unit itself are minor, but I have not yet measured that value.

That is a VERY good question, the user manual, which can be found here: http://www.laskoproducts.com/usermanuals/751320CeramicTowerHeater.pdf states "When initially turned on, the Heater will be in High heat (1500 Watts) on Max". So basically, the heater will use 1500Watts on MAX, and less power on lower heat settings. In terms of money per month I'll do a quick calculation. Say you use the heater every night for 8hrs (because your significant other is ALWAYS cold because they are anemic, as in my case, and you wake up in the middle of the night sweating because its so hot because this heater works THAT good but you have NO choice but to leave the heat on or sleep in the living room on the couch because your wife will wake up and get mad if you turn it off....smh)... So at the average of 12cents/kwh for 8hrs per night for the average of 30.4368 days a month, we have the following formula: 1500W * 8h * 30.4368days = 36000Wh/month or a whopping 360KWh/month. Now at 12cents per KWh, we have: $0.12 * 360KWh = $43.20/month. That means my electric bill is $43.30 higher every month because my wife likes our bedroom to be around 95deg F every night and I wake up with a dry sore throat and feeling like I was in the Sahara desert in Africa all night. Anyway, I hope that answers your question! This heater really is as awesome as all the reviewers say it is. I have been very impressed so far!

250 Watts. That's the actual power drainage from your outlet on your wall. (And the electric bill as well).

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 think it burns 325 calories. definitely between the range of 300 and 350.
