    How many kilowatts per hour (KW/hour) does it use?

    Hi mollytrundle,

    You should get more help with this on the Gas and Electric board so I've moved your thread over there.

    Fans, as opposed to fan-heaters, use very little power.

    I have a cheap fan about 9" diameter and it uses 31 watts. That means at normal electricity prices it will cost 1 pence to run 3 or 4 hours.

    thats brilliant. i have been using it as suggest on money saving old style, to use it to help dry the washing indoors, instead of using the tumble dryer.....and it works a treat.
    thanks
