Anyone have any idea how many watts it draws?? This is a major deciding factor for me when purchasing a space heater. Thanks.

It's 1500 watts but more importantly, it draws 12.5 amps. Amps are more important. Most home circuits have 15 amp breakers or fuses so there should be nothing else on this circuit but the fan. DO NOT use an extension cord unless it is approved by an electrician. It works well (for me) and doesn't cost a lot to run. When the unit is on and warm, the color on the front screen changes (from black) to a lighter color. The company says this may wear out with use over time. The nice feature is the it has a "tip-over" switch that turns the unit off when it is knocked over. Stand it back up and it will start again. Just be careful about where you place it and that little ones can't get at it.

I would pick a different space heater. Mine burned out within a couple of months and both the manufacturer and the seller refused to replace it or do anything about it.

It doesn't say in the manual but using standard conversion table the heater produces 750 watts which at US standard 110 volts which converts to 6.25 amps and on high it produces 1500 watts so draws 13.64 amps. Hope this helps.Side note, we have been using this heater almost daily for the past four months and think it's the best of 5 or 6 heaters (different types/brands) we've tried over the past few years.

The wattage is not listed on the unit. But it does say, "Any questions, call 1-800-233-0268."Oh heck, I went ahead and Googled it. It has two heat settings. The highest setting is 1500 watts. The lower setting is 750 (or 900) watts.

I no longer have the info that came with the heater, but as I recall the wattage was something like 750 and 1500. The lower setting works just fine for me.

Yes, I've used it with a radiant space heater daily for over seven years. My heater has a high, medium, and low setting; 1200/900/600/ Watts - I only use the low setting 600 W.

Depends on the amp rating of your outlet. You will need to be able to draw more than 4000 watts from the outlet to have 4000 watts available from the heater.

Hi, I am not sure what the wattage is, but I can tell you this unit is very energy efficient. I used to use a window fan for noise, and this does not draw as much power. It is small. I feel it is smaller than most units. However, don't let the size fool you. It is great. The sound is incredible. There are many different sound options. I have been sleeping great since using this. I hope I was able to answer your question.

I think it was 1500 watts. I no longer have the heater. I returned it because it started to make a grinding noise when it would rotate after about two weeks.

The other answer is correct about the unit draw being fairly low as compared to the heating element power draw. I actually measured mine and it came in at about 9.5 Amps instead of the 6.7 amps one would get using the standard DC based calculation. The heater runs on AC power and there is a power conversion factor based on the RMS voltage value for all AC circuits. If I remember right the power factor for 60hz AC is .707. This calculates closer to the 9.5 amps my meter is showing.

No you cannot control the wattage. There is a numbered dial at one end. If you turn the numbers up just until the light goes on it will draw about 700 watts if you dial it up several numbers higher a brighter indicator light comes on and it draws about 1300. As the room heats up it will cut back to about 700 watts. I have tested with a watt meter. I set it to about number 4-1/2 and when the room temp drops to about 65 it comes on. if the room is very cold I set the dial to 5, and it will cycle on and off during the night.

Depends. The space heater will be the biggest draw. Best thing you can do is get a Kill-O-Watt meter (about $20) and measure each device's peak wattage draw. Add them up and see if they are over 2000 watts.

No. Most electric space heaters range between 500-1800watts, which would exceed the 300watts limit of the Duracell DRPP300 Powerpack!

Hi Brian... don't know how many watts it uses... I do know that from low speed to hi speed it draws 0.2 to 1.9 amp DC which is very good. I love mine...buy one you won't be sorry I promise...hope this is usefull for you...Lou

It DRAWS 750W at low setting and 1500W at high. It produces 5000+ BTUs. It is sufficient to heat a room 8 x 12 with a very high ceiling due to the airflow pattern. Just don't knock it over.

I don't know. It didn't work for me. I use a 1500 Watt heater and this one failed. I bought another and it works well. From a Canadian manufacturer.

I've had the plug get a little warm if I run it on high (1500 watts) all night in a cold room. No problem running it at low, 750 watts.

I like the answer about buying an immersion heater, that is a good suggestion, but if you stay with this product it draws less than 15 amps (probably about 10) on 12 volts. In watts that is 120.
