Default Fan Power Consumption

Joe wrote:
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.

I have a 20" Lasko in front of me at the moment. My Kill-A-Watt says

99/136/196 watts
129/175/248 volt-amps
at 121 volts

And no, there is no electrical info plate or marking on any of several
of these cheapie box fans that I own.
