is this unit energy efficient

Yes. I have one in each of 3 rooms we spend the most time in - heating bill has gone down.

I think so, Patricia. It's a little hard to say, because we're using it in a motorhome, so it comes on a lot more than would be necessary in a house or a more airtight room of any sort. But I would say it's energy efficient due to the fact that it is such an efficient unit in itself. Unlike most small 1500 watt space heaters that heat up only the first six inches in front of it, with the same wattage this heats the whole place, mostly on the low setting (750 watts). Or you can warm things up in a hurry on the high setting at 1500 watts. And the big plus is it has a thermostat. You just turn the dial till the heater shuts off when you're comfortable, and it will cycle on and off to accommodate that temperature. We love it.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

Absolutely , Yes. Be sure to clean/ vacuum out your cabinet and hose off your coils while you have the power off and the cabinet open.It will most certainly run more efficient.

I cannot say it is energy efficient ??? but keeps the den habitable to enjoy and can lower the main furnace (electric heat) so not entire heater has to run as often.

No. (Sorry, I accidentally answered "Yes" before, but couldn't change my answer until today.) This item may have had the efficiency level marked on the box, but there is no marking on the unit itself. It's too small, so there's no room for a label with the efficiency level.

I am not sure. My electric bill is high anyway. This unit can operate on both low and high settings and be set to either "run" or "auto", in which a thermostat turns off the unit when a temp is reached. It got down to -13 last night in Denver, so I assume the unit ran all night in my garage (my garage stayed at about 50-55F). At 220V, my energy bill will likely be higher. However, it beats frozen pipes. I am thankful everyday for this unit!

Honestly I have no idea about the efficiency of this unit. However I must say that this is the loudest little power inverter I have ever owned. I don't use it because it has a cooling fan that runs all the time and is quite loud.

It runs as a small refrigerator will, shutting off once it reaches optimum temperature. I haven't seen a great increase in electrical usage. Any negligible power cost is offset by the convenience of having chilled wine at-the-ready.

Very efficient only 1200w it's not quiet, a little noisier than a 12000 window unit but not bad. Heater is good.

I got this fridge for my daughter, who lives in a college dormitory. I cannot imagine it using a lot of electricity as it is very compact (just enough space not to overstuff it with junk :)). I believe in its description it also mentions being energy efficient, so again.. I think you'll be getting a great, efficient product. One thing I do know for sure, my daughter loves it! She said it looks very cool and is well designed where she can comfortably store her essentials.

No, the unit is always lit. It is a low voltage system, though, and doesn't use much power.

Yes it is quite efficient. However it does not heat as large an area as indicated. We purchased it for our basement which has no other heat source and it only raises the temperature 2-4 degrees. It does work really well in a room about 12/16.

I am not familar with Heat Surge. But the unit works very well and efficient

The Energy Efficiency Ratio is listed at 9.8. But this is a bit misleading. This model will use way less energy over 12 months than a cool only AC with a seer of 10-20 + a space heater.

According to the owner's manual it consumes 600 watts. A label affixed to the back of the unit states the same, 600 watts consumption.

I don't think so. It does cycle off based on the temperature you set it at. I think it is efficient.
