PD poll - do you leave it on 24/7 or not

[kalinga]

I have rarely unplugged mine since I got it a few months ago. It's on 24/7.

 

[purplechango]

I try to leave it on, but i like to turn it off to give it a good coat of the buzz butter and a buff .....which i need to get some more of.

 

[stickstones]

I have 2 on 24/7

Well from the Zap side I leave mine on 24/7 I actually really like it as a diffuser.

 

[lwien]

Only turn it on in the evenings.

Originally turned my PD off and on. After the first month I just left it on 24/7. Only turn it off when we are going to be out of town. The PD has been running pretty much 24/7 since May.

24/7.

If I had an absolute set schedule I'd use a timer since I have one... but I prefer the 24/7 convenience.

 

[owin]

always on unless i'm out of town.

This is what I love to hear

I leave both of mine on 24/7

A cold PD feels like jagged death...no fun. It must stay warm!

Now I feel guilty...........


(cradling my dead cold PD in my warm, loving arms promising never to let her......(or is it a him) ever to feel the dead of cold again.)

24/7 cheap instant gratification !

Has anyone calculated about how much it costs to keep in on 24/7? I know it uses very little power but has anyone seen any difference in there energy bill?

Your typical 4W night light times 2.

Plug in 7.5W and your kWh price. Big bucks!

Personally I turn it off when it's not going to be used.

 

[wthanna]

Hmmm.. well I'm not sure what you pay for electrity, but for me it would cost $4.12 a year to leave this device on 24/7 and that's not "big bucks" on too many budgets.

 

[Madcap Laughed]

i leave my myrtlezap on all the time, but i think im going to start unplugging it at night because i had a nightmare about a fire starting.

 

[Hennessy1414]

this shirt might take your mind off it

keep warm madcap....I give you my highest blessings



...hmm all this talk vtac brings up makes me want to go and rummage for a timer in my junk drawer...lets see what I can find.
