Dave,
My figure of 6.8 KWh means that over, say, an 8-hour working day it
consumes getting on for a kilowatt, but that's assuming 100% efficiency. So I
presume it uses rather more than this. Even so, that's only one bar of an
electric fire or a bit more. It would seem to be worth it if your office is
your livelihood.

Yes, it is. I bought it last weekend and couldn't have worked in here
this week without it as I need to be able to think clearly 100% of the
time (online stock trading). Target for the week: to recover the cost!

It's a small one, 5500 BTU/hour cooling capacity which I think
converts to 1.6 KW. I make it work hard, forever in and out of the
room! Power input is only 720W, I don't understand that at all.
*shakes head confusedly*
