You also have to consider that the compressor will only be on a few minutes a day. And probably not everyday! Very unlike a light bulb.

The above is an assumption for a "typical" modeler.

Thanks.  I doubt she'll notice it either, but she's a bit "technically challenged" and so obviously her first question was "what wattage is that, how much will it cost!!".

The compressor is 1/6hp.  That converts to about 124 watts, a little more than a 100 w light bulb.

I doubt whether she will notice it on the electric bill.

Airbrush compressor - power usage?
Posted by Raven Morpheus on Thursday, October 17, 2013 10:37 AM

Hey there

Just received my KMS AS186 airbrush.  I'm wondering though what wattage do they run at, I can't find any info online and the manual doesn't include that?

My mother is concerned (unnecessarily I think) about the electric bill...
