How much electricity does a massage chair use?
The short answer: surprisingly little. Depending on the model, NAIPO massage chairs draw 45 to 180 watts. At one hour of use a day that comes to roughly £4.11 to £16.43 in electricity for the whole year. Work it out here for your model and your electricity price.
Example values for reference
| Power | Use | Consumption per year | Cost per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45 watts (most economical NAIPO model) | 1 hour a day | 16.4 kWh | about £4.11 |
| 120 watts (mid-range) | 1 hour a day | 43.8 kWh | about £10.95 |
| 180 watts (most powerful NAIPO model) | 1 hour a day | 65.7 kWh | about £16.43 |
The formula behind it: Consumption in kWh = watts divided by 1,000, times hours of use. Cost = consumption times electricity price. Example: 120 W x 365 hours = 43.8 kWh; at 25p per kWh that is £10.95 a year.
The example table is calculated at 25p per kilowatt hour. The power draw of your model is on the type plate and in the Comparison database of all NAIPO models. Standby consumption of modern chairs is low; to be on the safe side, unplug the chair when it is not in use for a longer period.
