how much wattage does the unit consume?

Since it can handle 1800W on a 15 amp circuit, the answer is essentially zero. There is nothing resistive or mechanical, so that makes sense.

The switch has an LCD display so it in itself doesn't draw a lot of power. Here are the specs on the load it can handle: Load types Maximum load ExamplesLights and resistiveloads (except tungsten)1800 W(15 A @ 120 V)* fluorescent lights* compact fluorescent lights (CFL)* electronic ballasts* sodium lamps* block heatersTungsten lights 1440 W(12 A @ 120 V)* incandescent lights* halogen lightsMotors 3/4 hp * pool filter pumps* fans Installation 2

Good question, I haven't metered it to see how much it actually consumes to illuminate and manage the timer settings and such... I did refer back to the specs in the instructions pamphlet and it did not specific that.... the maximum load the switch can handle is 1800W but I know that's not what you're asking.

It is rated at 65W running entirely off of the PCIe slot. I don't know actual consumption.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.

I don't know how many watts it uses, but I know it does not blow a circuit when other electrical appliances are being used. I would say, it uses as much as a crockpot.

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

I had the same question - so I connect one unit into a WattMeter (measures accumulated power (KWph). Turned the unit on with the remote but nothing plugged into it. It has been running now for 6.5 days and the WattMeter shows that ONLY 0.08kw has been used. Remarkable !!! That works out to 0.012Kw per day or projecting out for a month would be 0.3g9Kw. An excellent product with MANY possible applications!

It is a fan forced unit. It will blow out about 8 to 10 feet. This heater is quit a work horse. On high it really heats quick. On low it will maintain. Not sure what the power consumption is yet, as we have only had this heater about one month. Hope this helps.

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-useThe unit is 580 watts.Based on the calculator on the above page, I probably spend about $12/month to run the distiller (I distill about a gallon per day). Assuming I've done the math right ;)

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

I used a kill-a-watt to measure how much power is used. I'm assuming a worst case scenario of 24hrs a day operation and a power cost of 10 cents per kwh. In the fan high mode, the unit uses 65watts. 65watts x 24hrs=1560 watts /1000= 1.56kwh x .10= 15.6 cents per day 1.56kwh x 30=46.8kwh x .10= $4.68 per month 46.8kwh x 12=561.6kwh x .10= $56.16 per year Keep in mind that your unit will probably never run anywhere near 24hrs a day so cost will be lower. Mine ran non-stop for 2-3 days and now it cycles on and off on low to easily maintain 40% humidity for 2100 sqft. For those interested, the unit draws 55 watts on medium, and 45 watts on low.

1500w if I remember correctly. Ours has been returned for the 3rd time and we still don't have it. Their service to the customer is horrible. If you happen to get an operable one, and it stays operable, they do a good job.

1500 Watts. Not using at the moment, but it supposed to heat 1000 sq ft with 5000BTU.Keeps a large bedroom cozy warm. Safe around pets.

The online specs rate the power supply at 1Amp @ 120VAC. May be someone else will have the power adapter handy and be able to read its label for you. The unit only consumes 36Watts.

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.

This unit claims to use 10 watts. There are 8760 hours in a year. So this would use about 87.6 KWH (kilowatt hours). Assuming you pay about 12 cents / KWH, it works out to about $10.50 a year.

The only actual data I have is that the label says 120/240V 50/60 Hz 0.6A. Now, that could be as high as 144 watts. I can absolutely assure you that it consumes nothing even remotely like that. I can't unplug the switch now to measure, but I can tell you that the case is just barely perceptibly warm to the touch. I would guess something in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 watts.

Check the back of each appliance or the specs in their manuals for how many watts they use.Add them up and stay at or below 1600 watts. I have 2 of these units that I use individually or I connect them together tandem with a kit they sell for our RV Toyhauler to provide 3200 watts.They are great units and run flawless for me.
