I ohmed out the 300D and 300SD. Couldn't find the kill-a-watt meter.

300D: 26 Ohms, At 120V = 553 watts
300SD: 31 Ohms, At 120V = 464 watts

These were measured at the AC plug so I can take away that my elements are fine as well as the cord.

Assuming constant draw (false assumption really it's going to change as the element warms up..but best I can get right now) running them from 2 am to 7 am, 5 hours:

5.085 kWH @ $0.0946 cents per hour = $0.48 per night.
