It's a shame they don't say more about its "Ultra Low energy
profile" - lik=
e
"typical" power consumption figures.  The claim they make below
is quite
interesting:

"it's ultra-low energy consumption profile means it only costs around
=
=A31
a year to run."
"Sounds too good to be true?"

Yes.  It does.

Some quick fag-packet paths suggest that *if* electricity was still 9p /
kW=
h
( e.g forgetting the 'higher rate' unit costs) then this thing must consume
*less than 1.2w*.  Of course, I'm assuming it's on 24/7...  if they only
expect the unit to be on 1 hr per day then I guess that allows 30w
consumption.   I expect they mean 8hrs / day which would mean 10w which
still seems pretty impressive.
