Woozoo fan notice:
So. I have some high efficiency Vornado DC brushless fans and they use 4 or so watts at medium, 12 watts on Max.
I plugged the Woozoo into a Kill-A-Watt meter...
On "1" which isn't even noticeable it sucked 16 watts. 2 was 24. 3 was 32. 4 was 38. And 5 used 48 watts.
Some may say oh well it's just a little more money for power, but you have to remember wattage is dissapated as HEAT. Remember how hot a 40 watt lightbulb was back in the day? Heck that's what an easy bake oven used. Your parents would be upset if you left that easy bake oven on all day.
So if you're in a small room, it will slowly warm it up.
Also it's not 50 watts, it's 100 watts or so round trip. My central AC has a little more heat load it has to remove. So energy is used twice.
I assume most likely in order to hit the $24.99 price, it uses a low efficiency motor. 50 watts is like leaving 7 LED lightbulbs on constantly.
Sadly, I'll be returning my Woozoo fan. Oh and oscillate? That adds 6.3 watts to the total. 8.2 if you choose the mode that does both up and down / side to side (two motors). Quite high for such a small fan. That's more than my high efficiency fan uses on medium-high speed.
I'm also on solar, so I can pull up live exactly how many watts my house uses at any given time. When everything is graphed and live data is shown, you become energy conscious. But I didn't rely on the main inverter for this data, I used a point of use Kill-A-Watt meter. Didn't feel like taking out my Fluke amp meter as the Kill-a-watt is accurate enough.
For me it's almost a game. Yes I break even now for power, but I'm on the literal cusp of owing PG&E. The solar array should've been sized sliiiihtly larger. So with some changes, I can continue to stay neutral and produce everything I use. But I'm close to going over and start paying for power. It's not quite the money for me, it's the concept I'm no longer self sufficient in that regard, for those wondering.
Of course it is!
No, you definitely are not. 😄

If only you were cutting and pasting, this would be funny. You my friend are ate up.
I'd like to pick up a second one if I get a chance to stop by costco.

These are awesome little fans for the money.
If you are going to run it 24/7 then consider something more efficient... but I use this at level 3 and usually maybe only 2 or 3 hours/day. So... at 32 watts for 3 hours a day, I can use it for over 10 days for about 11 cents... I guess that's a little over 1 penny a day or a little over $3.65 per year if I used it year round, but probably only use it 6 months out of the year at best, making it about $1.83/year... or double it if you want to account for the heat which brings it back up to $3.65/year.
UPDATE: Oh hell, well if this little DC w/brushless motor Vornado is only $42.50 then it makes a lot of sense to spend a little more money especially if you run it a lot......

I personally found the info useful. I do believe AC motors are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs, but still 12 vs 48 watts -- that's 4x as efficient, assuming they're both pushing the same amount of air. At that rate, the Vornado would pay off the difference in cost vs the Woozoo in electricity cost savings fairly quickly.
That Woozoo does have a ton of features though vs a standard DC Vornado. Plus a Costco warranty.
