How many watts does this use? The brochure claims 240 watts, which seems low, especially since it also states that it uses 4.5 amps. Thanks.

4.5 amps x 120 volts would make it 540 wattsI was thinking closer to 1500 but then it is a small unit

Wow what a complicated question. There are theories that apply and can be googled. Don't forget start up vs running requirements.

My husband says 25 watts. He is going to make 4 plug ins for me. Hope that this helps.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

One of the pictures shows the label that states 42 watts. That would be 0.35 amps (42 watts / 120 volts).

5000 amps or watts generator? I'm assuming that you mean watts. This unit will require about 20.9 amps of draw on a 240v circuit. If your generator produces 20.9 amps (Watts/voltage), then you can run this.

It draws 4 amps (48W) according to label. I have one and works great for us.

About 735 Watts (6.2 Amps)(Most heaters are rated for 750watts on Low, I got the above figure by borrowing my boss's Kill-A-Watt meter)

"350 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 18 amps on the +12 volt rail." Taken from the box. Hope this helps!

Actually on high it uses 1500 watts (1389 showing on my meter) and 900 watts on low. Previous models of these that I own offered three wattage options; 500, 1000, and 1500. So I miss the lower 500 watt option - not available on this newer model.

There are three levels this units operates at: Low setting draws 1000 watts, Medium setting draws 1250 watts, and High draws 1500 watts.Low is the most energy efficient. Maximum BTU's is 5118. Amps drawn is 12.5. Unit Voltage is 120V, 60Hz. Hope this is helpful, I purchased two units within a couple of weeks.

I just looked at the bottom of my Bodum and it says 700 W. This sounds about right and is quite a few watts, but I have never had any problems with overload, of course I use it at work and they have capacity for this amount. If use on 120 V house current, will draw almost 6 amps. My Bodum works well. Hope this answers your questions...

I am using it with two speakers and my tv as the source. I guess if you speakers watts sum like 150-200 watts you can use it (aprox 40-50 watts each).My speakers are 100 watts each and they play OK. But I doubt that it will drive 4 100 watts speakers. That is my opinion for what is worth but I am not an expert on this matter.

No 240 watts @12 volts is 20 amps, so it will overheat and fail. I think a 20 amp model is available.

I've read that it's half horsepower, which makes it 373 watts (full horsepower is 746 watts, I googled it). I've also read that this brand is 700 watts. So I don't know which. Somewhere I also read that amps x volts=watts. So I read that it's 120 amps, but what are the volts? If someone can post a pic of the noted wattage on the actual machine, or at least the amps and volts, that'd be great. I know that Cuisinart has a 600 watt 11 cup capacity with dough blade. Still weighing my options.

Check the back of each appliance or the specs in their manuals for how many watts they use.Add them up and stay at or below 1600 watts. I have 2 of these units that I use individually or I connect them together tandem with a kit they sell for our RV Toyhauler to provide 3200 watts.They are great units and run flawless for me.

They claim it requires 215 watts. Mine is on 6-100 watt Renolgy panels and 6 Trojan deep cycle 12 volt golf cart batteries. It has worked flawlessly night and day with power left over to run multiple 12 volt lights in my house. Tim
