These new units don't run at a fixed power level. So, you just have to look at the specs,
or find out from other users, who have monitored the kwh used by their units.
Because these units have inverter-technology, the amps (or kwh) used will vary greatly with the room temp settings, insulation of your home, and outdoor temps.
If you don't have insulated windows, or your home is very well insulated, the difference in power use can be large.
I monitor both of my Sanyo mini-splits with TED power monitors.
But, my electric bill would be of little use to anyone else, unless they lived in my area, had a similar 1956 home, liked to keep their house at 21C 24/7.. etc. etc.
My comparison is with my old oil heating system. Depending on the price of oil, I spend about 1/4 to 1/5 of oil heat..
But, now that global warming is getting bad, my power bill will be going up 30 to 40 percent.?. And since the price of oil is dropping.. I may have to buy some solar panels to run my Sanyos..
