    I think they're in the 1-2 kW range, so if used every day it could add up. Wouldn't be relevant if used weekly though.
    Ours boasts 1800Watts! all across the top.

    Must have been made when More Watts = Good.

    Personally, I would like to see how many of those Watts get translated into useful air flow.

    Modern fridges yes, but not everybody has a modern fridge, and those that don't, probably don't know how much their current fridge is costing them.

    Ours (a hotpoint maybe 10+ years) was using 2 units/day. Not an insignificant amount.

    It was still not "on all the time"..............

    No. But I think the poster simply meant that it is not an appliance that can be turned off to save money. I can't think of any appliance that is 'on all the time'.
