First, I'm not real impressed with error (by a factor of 10) in the
very first line of their chart...

Second, the waterbed heater only costs a dollar a day (at their 400W
and 8 cents/kWH) if the thermostat is broken and it runs
continuously...

I did know that. I was hoping someone with a Kilo meter would jump in
and give a closer estimate. The chart was enough for me to unplug the
bed anyway. No one is sleeping in it at the moment.

During the winter time.. I plug my WB heater in during the coldest
nights and use 2 to 3 kWh's a day. I use two layers of comfortors
to keep the heat loss to the room down.
