If it is marked "100 watt" (which is probably for the highest setting),
it uses one tenth of a KWH each hour. The medium setting is probably
half that, so maybe one twentieth of a KWH. Look on your electric bill
to find out how much each KWH costs -- probably around 5 to 10 cents.


5-10¢ per KWH? Where do you live? In NYC it's over 25¢ per KWH; plus tax


Here in Scottsdale AZ, it's 9 cents/KWH. It's actually split between 3.9
cents/KWH for "delivery" and 5.2 cents/KWH "energy". Plus, of course, a
$10 monthly service charge and another 7.5% for taxes.
