Model 3733 20" Box Fan made by company called LASKO
It has 3 settings, high, medium and low, I cannot determine the
Wattage it pulls on the Low setting.
I found a website which says 170 watts but it doesn't break it down
for low medium high settings.
Thanks if you can help.
If it uses 170 watts on high (that's a bit less than a quarter HP) and
your electrcity costs you cents per kWhr. then it will cost about 41
cents per *24 hrs?
If it uses only half the power on 'low' setting, although it may use
less that that, it'll be about 20 cents per continuous 24 hour day.
Not a very significant cost?
Hardly worth going out and spending money on a $20 gadget, that may
not be very accurate at that, to measure how much the fan uses.
Let's see $20/20 cents= operating that fan for 100 days for same cost
as the measuring gadget!
Oops: Should read; "and your electricity costs you TEN cents ....... "
sorry about that!
