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;

s tax

I certainly don't see anything in here that looks like $.25 per
KWH:

Here in VT it's about $.12/kWH similar to NYC, from what I can
gather from the above link). I noticed the lowest in the US is KY
at $.044/kWH.



Well I'll be....

Where in VT? I lived in Colchester/Essex Jct/Westford over a couple
of decades.


Essex Jct. for at least a couple of more months.



House here is rebuilt and up for sale.


That's what I'm doing (rebuilding the house). It'll be up for sale
in January, I hope.

Will be going to Williston. Just
in time for Feb. Haven't seen snow and the coldest I've seen in past 3
yrs is 15...once. They had red warning bars on TV from the NWS about the
deathly bitter cold. Heck, back there it's a party because the rock salt
starts working when it gets up to 15!

Well, in Feb. you might see 15F once here too, but that'll be the
high. ;-) It's been so wet here (something like 50% above normal
rain) the frost line will likely be down so far the Chinese will
have cold feet. ;-)

I think I have a little re-acclimation to do:-(


Buy good boots and make sure your car battery is in good shape.
