As you suspected, YES, THIS IS A HOAX. A watt is a watt. If you plug in any electric heater and buy one watt of power from the electric company, you'll get one watt of heat into your space. That doesn't matter whether it's a blow dryer, curling iron, electric toaster, toaster oven, electric iron OR Hoax Heater. A watt is a watt. There's nothing magical about a device that changes the basic laws of physics and thermodynamics.
Your ***** antennas are very well calibrated. If you need a heater, just go to Wal Mart and buy one you like the looks of. A watt is a watt.
The motor is rated 1/6 hp (about 125 watts) @120VAC while the heating element is rated 5400 watts @240 VAC. Click on link below for some insights. The make are different but the wiring are the same
Well your electric company charges by kilowatt hours. For example, if you run a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours, that is equal to one kilowatt hour or electricity. So you run your 2000 watt hair dryer for 1 hour that's 2 kilowatt hours (but who ever runs one for one hour?). Now my electric company charges about 11 cents/kilowatt hour, so actually that hair dryer is not using much power at all, so I wouldn't worry. If you want to go down to a lower wattage that would allow you a little leeway with how long the appliance is used but not enough to matter. You can also use the dryer on low or medium to save some money if you would like. The things that use massive amount of power, because they are high wattage and running constantly are microwaves (although they are not always running), air conditioners, dehumidifiers, electric heaters, and even your computer uses more power that your hair dryer will. You should also check out this add I read one time about the things in your house that use energy (actually related to a hair dryer) Hope all this helped! <http://www.motherearthnews.com/Energy-Matters/Hair-Dryer-Electricity-Use.aspx>
5600 watts will not operate off 120 volts.
This is a 220/240 volt hookup.
There are 2 legs of 120 volts each that operate the dryer.
The only part requiring 220v is the heater.
Otherwise 120v routes through the various controls and relays.
Should have a name plate that lists the wattage or amperage. Typically Dryers have 4000 to 5000 watt elements and have to be fused at 30 Amp. (Or breaker must be 30A) Motor is much less current or wattage. The element uses the lion's share of power. I looked for a manual but LG doesn't have one available.
