How many watts does the unit itself use?

I don't know since I no longer have one. Just do a Google search on Tripp Lite LC1200 specifications.

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.

Don't bother--expensive paperweight. I bought another brand of line conditioner I was so disappointed.

For all practical purposes, zero. Remember, for the most part, a line conditioner is just a pass-through device. Load from the line analysis components is practically nil; surge protection components reduce voltage, they don't increase it, and the low voltage correction components only draw/store what comes into them.

Specification says 18 watts... It's an inexpensive unit and we get what we pay for ... if you don't need the fact that this unit is portable ... I'd move up a few more buck to a better system that is a table top model... Hope this helps

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.

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.

It uses 13 watts. I found the specs on the Peet web site after my initial answer.

I think the one I bought was 80 total watts but the newer version indicates 100 watts . Hope this helped.

I have not measured how many watts it is, but I can tell you that you can put your habnd right next to it and it's not hot at all. I do not recommend that you buy this unit. It does not get hot at all. Barley warm. The only good thing is the way it looks. Don't buy it. Spend your money somewhere else. I hope that helps.

I don't know, but I recommend using some other unit. The one I purchased died within months and after only a few uses.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion.

I have not and that is with New England weather. It runs quite a bit. I will say that I have it configured for 750 watts because it is in a small bathroom. Obviously it would be different if it was set at max wattage.

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.

I don't know. It worked for 5 hours but I had it hooked up to a car amp. The car amp is 550 watts. But it didn't work.

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.

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

1,500 watts/5,000 BTW 12.5 amp. Plugs into a regular wall socket. Find this in the expanded description. Energy efficient rating.

I bought it for someone else so I can't check it out personally, but other websites show it as 1100 watts.

Power consumption is listed as 400W in the manual and on the base of the unit.
