Electric price against manual
| Bed | Price | Difference vs 2-crank |
|---|---|---|
| 2-crank manual | KSh 30,000 | Baseline |
| 3-crank manual hi-lo | KSh 70,000 | + KSh 40,000 |
| 3-function electric | KSh 120,000 | + KSh 90,000 |
| 5-function ICU electric | KSh 320,000 | + KSh 290,000 |
The KSh 90,000 step to electric buys caregiver capacity, not comfort. Spend it when one person is doing all the repositioning.
Running cost
The motors draw power only while the bed is moving, which is seconds at a time. The pump on a ripple mattress runs continuously and is the item that actually sits on your bill month to month.
