I had my doubts when buying because of the supposedly high power consumption. Thus I was able to get an accurate picture of consumption I bought a power meter, which is placed between the power outlet and the appliance. only briefly entered the cost per kilowatt-hour and already the power consumption in euros or cents is shown. It took over a month until we finally crossed the border 1. Therefore one must also say that we took advantage of the radiator only evening and made sure that it does not run too long, however. Nevertheless, this observation has shown to me that this oil radiator is a great addition to a heater that just do not want to bring to the perfect temperature to room.
