Does running it noticeably/greatly affect your electric bill?

maybe a bit. But not enough that I would quit using it. Having a house full of animals it seems to help keep the air clearer. So the little it cost to run is a plus.

No it does not seem to affect the bill - I certainly enjoy the dust free air - as well .!

We recommend calling your local electric company as rates vary across the country. Note that the amount of electricity used by the unit depends on the setting selected (wattage) and how often it is running.

I wish I could help you with that but I'm not certain. I certainly haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill, and my son uses this fan every night. The one negative I have to say is that it was only used for a couple weeks before it started making a very annoying noise while oscillating. It has therefore only been used in a fixed position since. If you want a good oscillating fan, this may not be the one for you.

I do not know if it is, but I do know that two of them have have barely increased my utility bill even though they are running 24 hours a day. More important, they are very effective. In the lowest setting they are barely noticeable, and I have no difficulty sleeping when they are set at the mid-point. I run them at the maximum setting only when no one is in the room.

I use it 16-18 hours a day & my electric bill went up about $100 a month for the last 3 months....But my gas bill went down over $200 a month so it was well worth it for me. Has paid for itself & saved me about $200 in the last 3 months.

Can't really answer the question because it replaced a broken ac unit so no noticeable change in the electric bill. Also we have 6 units so our electric bill is always high and depends how much we use our ac units

I don't know specifically, but I do know it's got to be minimal. If it consumed a dollar a day I would have certainly noticed the difference in my electric bill. I would guess as much as any other electronic item, such as your dvd player, wireless phone, clock radio, microwave, anything that's plugged in continuously. Whatever it is, it doesn't bother me because it's worth it to me to have clean carpet and floor without my effort. It's an amazing gadget that works well.

That is possible if you run it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses a vast amount of electricity. I use mine from Friday to Sunday every weekend and my electric bill went up $200.

I don't have a bill to look at yet, but I bet its something like using an A/C alot. The little red part is a simple heater/fan with only two settings: on or off. Sorry can't give more info. I highly doubt the electricity cost comes close to the alternative, which I guess would be hiring a professional service to heat treat your things? And of course, I'd recommend wiping down, washing, or getting rid of anything you can, to keep the heat treating loads to a minimum.

I have no idea. But I've been running 2 since the first part of June and the electric bill has gone down a little over the winter bill. Hope that helps. De Lorme

I really have no idea...I haven't noticed an increase in my electrical bill. A feature I like about this dryer is that the heat cycle moderates to a cool cycle. I find that my clothes are dry far sooner than I expected and I end up turning off the dryer long before the cycle is complete. I love my little dryer. Simple to use and does what it is supposed to without a problem.

I personally didn't notice my electric being any more expensive, but everyone's usage is different. If you run it quite a bit I would expect to see maybe a few dollars extra a month. This is a great heater I would highly recommend it.

It only added about $10/month to my electric bill. I don't know what that other person is talking about....mine is plugged in 24/7

Really don't know, but I've had three of these and have never had a problem with excessive electric bills.

No; it only runs on solar. There is a switch you can buy that does not connect to the AC. I've had mine for awhile and can tell you I'm saving $40 a month on my electric bill.

Started using heater 3 weeks ago; after checking my electric usage online, it seems there is minimal change to my electric consumption within the last month. I've used it continuously throughout the night during sleep and while at home. There is a Economical setting that I use during the day. I haven't gotten my bill yet but I believe it does not make a substantial increase in the electric bill, which makes me very happy.

Not that I've noticed. I also didn't notice any increase in our electric bill but you mileage may vary.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.
