Its 1200 watt its almost to hot but works great, if you have the money and plan on roasting beans a long time check out the burman 1600 roaster that's my next step.

Unit is 1200 watts. Unsure of heater coil itself. Works great for coffee roasting

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

It doesn't say in the manual but using standard conversion table the heater produces 750 watts which at US standard 110 volts which converts to 6.25 amps and on high it produces 1500 watts so draws 13.64 amps. Hope this helps. Side note, we have been using this heater almost daily for the past four months and think it's the best of 5 or 6 heaters (different types/brands) we've tried over the past few years.

I dont have the box anymore, but I think it is 500W. To be honest I am not happy with this product. It is very flimsy and very very slow to heat up. Takes a very long time to even boil a liter of water!!

What is the wattage of the replacement heater? It may exceed the maximum wattage of the thermostat.

It is 1040 watts, it isn't as good as the previous West Bend one that I had that was 30 years old! It is also very noisy.

I like the answer about buying an immersion heater, that is a good suggestion, but if you stay with this product it draws less than 15 amps (probably about 10) on 12 volts. In watts that is 120.

My baseboard heaters are eight feet long. At 240 V & 250 watts per foot, draw is 2k watts. I am very pleased with this thermostat, less than five minutes to install.

Not even close. I have 2 ceramic heaters which require 600 watts on low setting and a max of 1500 watts each. I believe all ceramic heaters are like this.

Most space heaters use more than 1300 watts. However even if less in your case, I could not recommend the Power inverter you ask about. I only hooked up chargers for 2 Cell phones and 1 Ipad Snd mine smoked. I returned it to buy another brand.

The rule of thumb normally used to calculate wattage needed for electric heaters is 10 watts per square ft with a 8 to 10 ft ceiling in a finished insulated to(R-30) area

David - from a review from popsci.com from September 14, 2011, it states the wattage is 1500. The article states this is pretty standard for space heaters. I own this product and I am extremely satisfied with it. Lary K

My model is DR-988. My owners manual specifies it as a 240 v. 5600 watt heater. I'm not an electrician but I believe the actual wattage is determined by the incoming voltage. My voltage is about 220 so I'm probably getting less wattage since the spec is for 240 volts. Anyway it puts out a lot of heat.

I use mine to control a room of baseboard electric heaters. About 4000 watts in total. I would say the temperature is + or - two degrees or less.
