Mini Power Analysis

Post by Endo »

Anybody ever do a power analysis on the Mini like this one on the VII?

s1v2/S1Power.php

A friend is asking me how much cheaper the Mini is to operate compared to the regular VII. I did a little estimate using my kill-a-watt a while ago, but nothing official.

The original analysis on the VII came up with a $163.94 yearly cost. The Mini has a smaller steam boiler so I assume it will be a bit cheaper to operate (probably not much). Still, it would be nice to have a number for comparison.

Obviously, custom insulated boilers won't be considered since it will make comparison too difficult.

I may not be able to put together a detailed analysis like Chas (with the duty cycle), but maybe we can come up with something statistical with the kill-a-watts on a few different machines.
