What does 110v/840 watts mean? I can use a standard home outlet, but is the 840 watts considered high? Will it pull alot of power? Trip?

It works fine on a standard, grounded (3-prong) outlet. It takes about as much power as a coffee pot.

If you live in the USA, then a standard outlet should work. Do not use any extension cords. The popper will use about the same power that a 4 slice toaster uses or 8.4 one hundred watt light bulbs on at the same time. Hope this helps...

It plugs into a standard plug and it will not trip. The majority of the power it draws is only on while the heating element is on (3-4 min), no more than a hair dryer.

yes, you can use a standard outlet and as far as the 840 watts - consider that most microwave ovens today use between 850 - 1650 watts.

I'm pretty sure it's 120 V. That's what it's running on here. A standard household outlet.

Voltage is not measured in Watts.....5 volts. It draws 0.4 amp or 400 mili Amp most likely. (it also makes sense). But why are you concern about power input??

I have the 114 and I have to plug it into a wall outlet that matches the 220 volt air conditioner. (horizontal vertical and ground) They, 114 and 114C, both are rated at 5000 watts and with 2 HP motor. So going by that, must be the "C can plug into 110 volt outlet. Don't quote me on that. Even Intermatic has no specs on it.

1000 watts will run fine from a single outlet!What they are saying that you cannot pull more than 1000 watts total from both outlets. If one outlet draws 750 watts, you have 250 watts left for the second outlet!

I don't have the unit but I can tell you there is NO WAY it can be rated at 3000W. 3000W at 115Volts (Std. US voltage) results in a current draw of 26Amps, that current would trip any household 115V outlet breaker. Its marketing crapola. Don't be fooled.

It's 110... you'll need an adapter. And we use ours pretty regularly, it's still working fine.

On mine with 450watts it is showing about 22% usage, if linear them 1200 should show about @66%. I don't know if linear, personally I'd opt for a larger unit.

I have used mine for several years now and it is a great product - bought one for my daughter. Uses US Standard outlet power.

I can't tell you the max wattage, watts is a power measurement (volts x amps) but I use them for 24v and low amp drawing 120v circuits. I've never damaged one.

Hi Greg- No that's not true. It plugs into a standard 110/120 outlet. And honestly, I find myself using mine more and more!

Standard US 120- no special power hook up. 350 Watts- It is a countertop device.

Should have no trouble with 110. that's what I used it for; tracing standard 110/120 power outlets around the house. I labeled the outlets to my circuit breaker box, so now I know which outlet goes to what breaker switch. Hope this helps

The outlet is for a 110 only. Mine failed in 3 weeks turning on a small lamp, so the load from an A/C turning on would be suspect.

Yes, not sure what you are asking either, but the reply from uberzilla should help! It is also my understanding that you don't need to worry about going too high on the watts, although there's no point in wasting your money for more watts than you need to power your system/graphics card.

The unit, when heating, pulls about 12 amps (1440 watts). The circuit you plug it into is generally a dedicated circuit (water heaters and microwave ovens) but it does not have to be as long as you don't plan on plugging in other high amperage appliances into the same circuit. Check your electrical breaker box that feeds the outlet you plan to use, the switch will have a number on the lever, most likely a 15 or a 20 but maybe even a 30. This is the amps which the breaker will trip. Hopefully you have a 20 or higher. For example, if you have a 20 and the heater pulls 12, that leaves 8 amps to spare and if you are at 120 volts x 8 amps, that is another 960 watts before it will trip. If your breaker is at 15 amps, then you cannot add much of anything else that pulls over 2 or 3 amps, to that circuit. You can put some child safety caps on the other plugs to remind you and others that that circuit if full.
