Electricity Cost of the Smart Garden 9

The Smart Garden 9 uses 13 watts (W) per hour for its built-in LED grow light, which runs 16 hours per day.

Step-by-step calculation

1. Power consumption per day:

   13W×16 hours=208 watt-hours=0.208 kWh/day

2. Power consumption per month:

   0.208×30=6.24 kWh/month

3. Monthly cost estimate:

   • If electricity costs $0.15 per kWh (U.S. average): 6.24×0.15=$0.94 per month
   • If electricity costs $0.20 per kWh (higher rates in some areas): 6.24×0.20=$1.25 per month

Estimated Monthly Cost: $0.94 – $1.25 per month
