Note. Hours assume a continual usage and may not reflect how an appliance is actually used as some items with elements run intermittently and do not use their maximum wattage at all times. Figures are based on the formula (Wattage*time)/1000*Rate = $ or l000/(Rate*Wattage) = Hours . The formula assumes an electric rate of $0.08 per kilowatt-hour.
