    Anyone know if it 'eats' electricity (to quote my darling mother)

    I LOVE heat and to have it one while studying, but she FREAKS out!

    Any ideas.... Anybody??

    It uses 1.2 Units an hour, check your electricity bill to find out cost per unit, (guessing it's around 20c per unit including VAT)

    so to have it on for 5 hrs will cost 5 x 1.2 x 20c = Euro 1.20

    dosen't seem a lot but keep using it and it soon adds up.

    It will of course use less if you don't switch on all of the elements (usually steps of 400w or 0.4 Units per hour)
