Open in Spanish ↗Use your appliance's electrical input power, hours of use and your own electricity price. The price below is an example, not a current tariff.
50 W ÷ 1,000 × 8 hours × €0.20/kWh = €0.08 per night.
At eight hours a night for 30 nights, that is 12 kWh and €2.40 in electricity. This is an estimate assuming a constant 50 W draw. Your actual power setting and tariff can change the result; standing charges and other bill items are excluded.
What does it cost to buy and run? What could it save? How long might it take to pay back? Who is it suitable for, and who should skip it? We distinguish specification-based analysis from hands-on testing, and we do not claim to have tested a product without documented testing.
