Energy usage, EDV-1100 The description says "low energy consumption". The Peltier units that I am familiar with require from 25 to 250 watts of power. How much does the EDV-1100 use?

Do the American ones come with adapter GFP241DA-0926 ? I bought two of these dehumidifiers (supplied by GET plc through Woolworths in UK, reduced from GBP 40 to GBP 20) probably sometime last year, though I don't have receipts. One failed before the other so I was able to determine that is was the power supply and not the dehumidifier that had failed. GET can't supply new power adapters, and as I don't have receipts I can't take them back to Woolworths.

I may be missing something here, but the point of the question isn't how much power the transformer puts out (23.4 watts), but how much power the unit (including the power supply) draws. Based on the photo link earlier in this line of answers, the power (in the US) should be 120 volts times 0.6 amps, or 72 watts. The previous answer didn't consider the transformer loss, which is what your electric meter sees... I plan to buy one of these and put it on a timer for a few hours a day so that my RV isn't using 72 watts on a continual basis.

I just got mine today - it has a 9V AC/DC adapter. It's not a wall wart adapter that hangs on the wall - it's one like a laptop uses with the converter box in the middle of two long wires (one to a standard AC plug for the wall and one to a barrel jack DC plug for the unit). Hope that helps!By the way, this thing is tiny! I was really surprised that it is smaller than a football. Plus, there is no way to hook up a drain hose, so you have to empty it each time it fills up. Most units have a drain hose hookup. I'm still going to keep it (if it works), but I'll have my eye on it. I bet small + no drain hose = full a lot (and it doesn't work at all when it is full).

"a lot" is a very subject phrase. the full size uses 130 watts max. it's a heck of a lot less costly than heating the whole room.

The daily consumption varies depending on the room temperature. At 70 degrees Fahrenheit the freezer will consume 360Whrs/30AH. These are in standard test conditions with no door openings. It requires a 215 watt solar panel and a 370 amp hour battery.

I took this from their web site FAQ. "What are the voltage, amps, and wattage requirements?Warming Systems has products designed for either 120V or 240V applications. The system is designed to supply approximately 12 watts per square foot."

http://www.highseer.com/pdf/WAE_WYE_15_Sales.pdf is the link to the tech specks. It will work down to ZERO F. Outdoor Temp. It is a 15 SEER unit. It will give you an seasonally adjusted average of 15 BTUs for every Watt spent. Assuming an annual compressor running time of 650 hours, total annual consumption would be 520 KW of power.

1300 watts...only heats a few degrees an hour...but other than that we love it...great buy for the price...need to turn the heater on a few hours a head of time or let it run...

Hello Valerie, according to the instructions that came with the heated rock bird bath de-icer, the unit is thermostatically controlled to run only when the temperature falls below 35 degrees farenheit. As to cost of running the unit, which is 75 watts, I do not have actual cost to report, but the instructions state that it "costs pennies to operate." I run mine all winter long and have noticed no noticeable increase in my electric bill. John

Honestly mine is only used for maybe 20-25 minutes a day warming our Master bath, which runs colder than rest of house, while my wife takes a shower and dries off. I don't see any appreciable rise in electric bill in winter and my wife is very happy with how much it heats the room. It is a fairly large bathroom roughly 9 x 16' and seems to warm up pretty good. I doubt if I answered your question but we are pretty happy with ours.

The Engel Fridge/freezer consumes 2.5 amperes an hour (30 watts) at a 100% duty cycle (the compressor is always on). Typically, I have noted a duty cycle of approximately 50% on a warm day ( 75 degrees F. or 23.9 C.) with the device set at the '3' setting (yields +10 degrees F. or -17.5 degrees C.) which would mean a wattage of 15 watts. Using the machine at a lower setting (as a fridge for example, instead of a freezer) would yield a lower wattage. Obviously, outside temperature affects the duty cycle of any fridge/freezer.

You use 250 watts for every foot of electric base board heating. Saying that, if they are connected to come on at the same time you will drawing 4000 watts when they are on. The specs for this thermostat are: Maximum load: 14.6 A (resistive only)3500 W @ 240 VAC1750 W @ 120 VACSo to answer your question, NO, since this thermostat can only handle 3500 watts.

My wife ask this question, so upon receipt of our new BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer I measured the electric power consumption using a 'KILL A WATT' meter. The following are measured results: initial heating of room temperature water inside the reservoir took 14 minutes and consumed 160 watts; leaving the brewer turned on after initial heat up consumed 530 watts over a 17 hour measurement period (doing the math this converts to 31 watts per hour or approximately 750 watts per day). Hope this helps. Thom

1) Yes, Peltier units can be run in reverse. Just don't let the one side get too hot and make sure the other side is heatsunk with, ideally, a small fan blowing through it. If you're looking to output USB, that's a maximum of 10W (for tablet mains chargers; 5W from a PC), which means that you can tap most of the excess energy (you should be able to max it out at 60W with that much energy available, though whether that's a good idea is debatable) off to help cool the unit. Don't mount the Peltier unit too close to your wood stove (hobo stove? gasifier? or actual full-blown indoor wood stove?), as the upper limit on these are usually around 80 degrees. So if a droplet of water on its hot-side surface sizzles and boils off, it's too close! If you have a substantial size wood stove and you want real power out of it rather than just charging USB devices; don't mount Peltier units all over it, just hit up a machine shop and build a stirling engine. Or buy one, I believe there are 1-3kW units (enough for a household with efficient electronics) available for this purpose now. But then you have to pay more attention to keep your stove running constantly.

The manufacturers spec says 2160W at startup and 1032W running. It doesn't say if thats at the high, low or both speeds. If you're looking for heat it doesn't get real hot. As I recall they say about 20 deg above the outside air. Works well on my 2 PWD's. They have more hair than a lab but no undercoat. be sure to read the reviews. I've had mine for a year and love it as it dries them without damaging the hair.

I used a Killawatt unit to measure my new ADR30A2G. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day.

I couldn't find it listed, but a quick calculation says the power consumption should be between 3 and 5 watts. I have these in almost all locations of my camper and love them, well worth it!

I honestly do not know the power wattage - but I have had it more than a year - used it this past weekend - and it is still incredibly fast and gives great snow cone ice - every time I use it I feel like I am using a high-quality commercial-grade machine. It is that powerful.

I can not answer for the 1100,mine is a 500. I do not have a problem with heat with my 500 for what I use it for. There is a fan inside the unit I would think it would take care of your unit.
