This HONDA power : Powermate PM0497000.04 8,750 Watt or what is 15,625 Wattage ? I need to purchase one for back up, in case there is no electric in my house.

This unit is powered by a Honda engine, which is key. The unit runs at 7000 watts and has a peak of 8,750 watts. Whether that is enough for your home depends on the sq. footage. I really like the unit although I have not had to use in an outage as of yet.

the amount of electric power measured in watts,especially kilowatts, or the power in watts,necessary for the operation of electrical appliances or motors or the like

If the above poster is correct with 12 Volts and 1500 mA (1.5 Amps) the correct power would be 12 Volts times 1.5 Amps for 18 Watts......a lot more useful than 1.5.

From all I read about it and the instructions it says 1500 Watts. Hope this helps.

For your calculations it is generally accepted 1 HP = 745.7 Watts. If you do the math, you are well under 1500 Watts. Now, the only issue is the startup current for your motor since it will take more on startup than on running. According the the chart link attached, this is about 19.5 Amps at running load. Startup amps are more for a brief period. See http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-motor-hp-amps-d_1455.html

The generator can produce 17500 watts but... there is no single outlet that can output 17500 watts Here is a summary of the issue: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27334996-Generac-GP17500E-Generator And realistically there is no feasible residential portable generator solution for using a cable (temporary connection) for more than 50 amp/12kw; above 50amp I would focus on a standby genset (i.e. hardwired transfer switch to home load center). I wrote this about the challenges of going over 50 amp for residential portable generator : http://www.diychatroom.com/f18/clarification-cam-lock-usage-private-residential-applications-170121 "enough to power a house" that depends on your home's load and there are plenty of load calculations on internet that can help you estimate (or an electrician tell you OR if you want to know for sure and be able to track and monitor then install a TED - "The Energy Detective" into you main breaker panel). You need to do is determine what are your emergency circuits needs (i.e. the musts for emergency power), e.g. my emergency circuits are a 5-ton heat-pump (AC/heat-pump unit & fan but not heating coils), electric water heater, water pump, etc. - for me non-emergency would dryer & electric cooking range & oven. The big heavy hitters you need to look-out for are typically HVAC system (if the heating is non-electric then good chances you will not have any over-load issues) and water heater. Given there is no single output greater than 50 amp and given the location of the 50 amp outlet (i.e. 14-50r) on the GP17500E model - if I had to do all over again then I would go with the GP15000E model instead.

It is 625 watts in total, 500 w + 100 w. If you plan on buying this I highly recommend it. It sounds really good

The labelled wattage is 24 watts. It works much better than 17 watt unit it replaced. I'm about to order another one for my garage. I just wish it was 30-35 watts and had an auto-shutoff. Auto-shutoff is such an obvious requirement that I wonder why no one offers it.

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.

I noticed that there are two different Breadman TR875's sold on Amazon - what's the difference between them? Does anyone know how many watts power they have? If anyone owns one, would you recommend it?

HI,On the back of the unit there is a lable that tells you the wattage.It is 1500 watts.Bob

Sorry 15 should be 15AMPs and 123 watts should be 145 watts.My typing stinks

They are not as quiet as a honda but you get 3500 watts not 2000 watts. Ramsond generator is very quiet though and run my a/c unit very good, Glad I got one about a year now.

On my 1575, I noticed that the wattage doesn't show unless you put a heavy load on it. I think that maybe normal with this unit. I also noticed that the output voltage is low unless you put a heavy load on it. Output starts at 86 volts with no load and goes to 124 volts with 1000 watts load. The voltage was in the 90's with anything less than 250 watts. Anyone else experience this? The biggest problem for me is the low voltage alarm which kicks in at 11.6 volts... way too soon. The manual states 10.5v which would be more reasonable. I called Cobra this morning and they were really no help. The tech guy lazily said 11.5v alarm was normal. He didn't have much response when I told him the manual states 10.5v. After a long pause, I said "so the manual is wrong?"... he said "yes". Oh well, I'm returning mine.. and based on the tech guys response, I'm afraid to try another one.

600 watts and 12 volts take 50 amps to operate it. Too small of an alternator or generator will burn the alternator or generator up trying to power this unit. Use a heater that will operate with the generating system you have on the Honda. Probably a smaller unit. Calculate the total current load of your Honda and add this to it. You will find the alt/gen you have is too small.

The ohms law answer is incorrect. Manufacturers always use a current rating in their UL safety application which is much higher than the devices actual usage. A better way to calculate the wattage is to work backwards from the horsepower. There are 746W to 1HP, so a 1/2 HP motor will use 372W.

I can't answer this for sure but it says in the instructions that it's 50 watts. If you're using a 75 watt adapter I personally wouldn't use it but I did see amazon sells an adapter for car usage. That might be something to look into.
