New Food Dehydrator Calculator - Calculate Food Dehydrator Electricity Costs

Aug. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Food-Dehydrator.com's food dehydrator electricity cost calculator is designed to help estimate the (low) direct electricity cost of using a food dehydrator for drying fruits, beef jerky and vegetables.  

A food dehydrator's electricity cost obviously depends on the state and local area that a user is living in, however, within the U.S., on average, running a 750 watt food dehydrator unit for one hour costs about 8 cents. Cost per state, per hour, for the same 750 watt food dehydrator unit varies from about 5 cents on the low end in North Dakota to almost 22 cents in Hawaii.  In fact, many food dehydrator units power on and off during the drying cycle so these would be maximum electricity costs per hour.

Food-Dehydrator.com's food dehydrator electricity cost calculator can be used at http://www.food-dehydrator.com/food-dehydrator/calculator/food-dehydrator-electricty-calculator.aspx.  To use the food dehydrator electricity cost calculator, simply use the drop down menus and boxes to choose a state in the U.S., enter the number of watts that the dehydrator unit uses, and the the number of hours that the food dehydrator will be used.
