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!

"If it uses only half that power" is the question. For all we know, it may
use TEN TIMES that much power on LOW. The way to find out is with the proper
gizmo.

No, you've got to view this episode as a valid excuse for another tool.
