How many amps does it use?

Divide the maximal amount of watts (1500) by the number of volts (120). That would be (12.5). I would trust the manufacturer's claim of 12.6.

I don't know the amps needed, I use one of the "booster" 12v units to power it without any problems.

For those needing this also... 2.4 amps on a 12 volt battery is about 30 watts which is pretty efficient for this size of unit. Hope that helps.

I think it draws 8 amps. I used it in A Freightliner Cascadia to make coffee in the morning. It took about 10 minutes to come to a boil. It has a tight lid so you can use it while driving. It has a metal flex handle that you can stick it in the glove box door and shut it and it holds the pot up right and you just plug in to the power port. Saved money not having to buy coffee at the truck stop. Buy it you will love it.

1,3 amps, nothing important since airflow is quite large operating time is pretty short for airbeds even a serious 10ft dinghy.

I didn't check the amps but I hooked it up and it got pretty hot so I assume it pulls a lot. I never used it because I thought it would kill my battery.

Don't know. It has two at 1 amp and two at 2 amps. Buy it and try. If doesn't work, return it.

The UL label states it is a 50-watt product. I do not know how many amps it uses. As for how hot it gets, after heating my food for about an hour I am still blowing on the last bite to cool it before eating it. The food gets very hot.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

Well, its 12.5 amps per unit, so if its the only thing you are using you can have 8 running at the same time. I have 2 and they take care of my needs. But it ultimately depends on what else you have running.

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

The amp usage is not in the service manual. The unit does use wattage from a low of 350 to a high of 750. The customer service number is 1-800235-0604.I saw an answer of 6 amps. But, my box does not show this. 6 seems low. I would expect a minimum of 30 to 35 amps. 6 sould be the usage when in fan only mode with the heater element turned off.
