  • The one on Amazon is 350w, so that would be about a third of a unit per hour to run.

    I read somewhere that it uses about the same amount of electricity as a lightbulb to run.

    That's exactly what I was going to post yesterday, before my mouse conked out on me.
    So, jaybee, if we've both read it, it must be right ;D

    the instructions on mine say it runs about the same as a 60w bulb if that helps.

    thanks for that, everyone....my slow cooker instructions don't mention running costs at all...but if it's about the same as 60 watt bulb, it doesn't seem too bad, i spose!

    i sometimes put mine on over night (have economy 7!) apart from waking up to cooking smells it works ok especially for vege stews etc. just warm some up for lunch or tea.
