does it consume a lot of energy or as an usual device?

I use two of them in a large tank that holds an 8 inch amphibious turtle and never noticed any change in my electric bill.

my experience is always to use any devices with less consumption indicates that the transformer, eg if the transformer is 1000W, connect any equipment that consumes max 750w, that prevents overheating of the transformer

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

Well, it does seem to use a lot of battery power. Requires 4 AA, I believe. If you exercise regularly, the batteries have to be replaced every few weeks. The milaege/calories display does not "glow" and it is difficult to read the display, regardless. Less than adequate, I would judge.

The plug uses 50mW with no load. That's with absolutely nothing plugged in to it. So yes it does use some power but its a miniscule amount.

It doesn't seem to require excessive power. Ours is pretty basic and it works fine.

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.

When I Travel I run A fish Tank pump,500 w heater, Heating pad for the wife, charge her cell phone her I pod sometimes all at one time no problem (cooling fans don't even run) As good as A PURE SINE I don't know what your idea is for a lot of electronics. If you mean A LOT as in A LOT I would say NO.

The unit stays powered all the time. I not checked excessive heating (only a slight heating, that's normal).

No its powered all the time. Has a surge protector too. I have two and will be getting more.

Since this is a fully electronic-controlled fan instead of a mechanical one (one with rotary or push buttons) the circuitry in the PC board is always active and it consumes 5-watts in stand-by when the fan is not in use. The Instructions do mention it as a means to save electricity.

it goes after a while of inactivity, not instantly, but really its an energy saver, no complains on consuming too much battery anyhow..good luck!

We run ours 24/7 and I have never noticed any increase in electric usage. Remember its basically just a fan.

Main thing is that the stuff it is plugged into has to provide power... but I have not had that be a problem.

I do not know the answer to this as I always use mine plugged into electricity.

I thing it runs continuously like your refrigerator. Not sure of the power usage. However I did not notice a increase in my bikl
