I have a Lasko Premium 20" three-speed box fan. I'd like to know how many
watts it uses, but so far I can't find any good info.

No wattage info on the box or the fan, no wattage info on the Lasko
website.

Googling gets me wildly disparate numbers on wattage for "portable" fans.

Does anyone have reasonably accurate info? It would be nice to know how
many watts for each of the three speeds.

Thanks.

Put a low value resistor in the neutral lead and measure the volt drop, if
its an AC supply and the fan is an inductive load this won't be exactly
accurate - but probably close enough.
