Here is the easy way to find out. For a few dollars, you can buy a wattmeter of the type you plug in the wall and then plug your appliance into the meter. These meters will tell you the current power consumption, the accumulated power consumption, and can be programmed to automatically show you the cost-per-hour (or day, etc) to run your appliance. You can use them on any appliance. They have a simple digital read-out. Shop around to find one that does everything you want to know. Some have wattage limits, so be sure it will be enough for your heater. Heaters use a lot of power (watts).
SOURCE: Electricity cost per hour
1500w / 1000w = 1.5 kwh. Every hour you run (assuming it is at 100% peak power) you use 1.5 kw. Just multiply that rate by how much it your power company charges per kwh.
Estimating high at 10 cents per kwh it would be $1 for every 10 hours you run the heater, or $2.40 per day, or about $72 per month if you ran it 24/7 for 30 days.
It is FAR cheaper to use these types heaters to heat one small room than an entire apartment or house if you are only in one room the majority of the time.
SOURCE: Cost per hour to run Model # 5840 heater
take the wattage of the heater, divide it by 1000 then multiply that by your cost per KW/hr from your electric bill, then multiply that by the number of hours you operate the heater. That will give you the exact cost to operate at full heating per hour.
SOURCE: how do you turn on
On the comfort zone CZ7007, the #1 rocker switch is for 600 watts, the #2 rocker switch is for 900 watts. If you flip 1 and 2 both to on you will get 1500 watts. Which is 600 and 900 added together. There is no down position, but only on and off.
SOURCE: Is there a recall on
Have you tried resetting the unit?
just push and hold the two buttons on the right for 3 seconds and it will reset.
Or what are the problems you are having with them?
What lights are lit, etc.?

Nicki, these meters are simple to use. So if you are not real swift with tech stuff these will do the job for you anyway. Even I can program one!
