Has anyone hooked this up to a watt meter yet to find out how much current it is using? not asking for voltage. I know it is 110.thanks for any feed back, kurt

i am not sure if anyone has hooked it up to a meter, if i were you i'd ask the company direct... all i can tell you is it is very very quiet and puts our alot of fan for such a little unit. my children really like it.

I cant tell you about wattage, but this little fan moves a lot of warm air into our kitchen. It has made such a difference, we havent needed to use the oil filled radiator heater that we normally had running in our kitchen all winter. We're in the mountains of Idaho, so its pretty cold out. We highly recommend this fan. We run it 24/7. My husband guesses it costs us about 10 to 15 cents a day at most. A lot cheaper than the electric heater.

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

no this meter does not do watts but as a meter its all you need always use amps times volts to get your watts . this meter does more please read man specs if you are in thehvacr ind. this I rec. all Iown

according to the home depot website, it's 120. volts, doesn't list wattage specs. i am on vacation now but could look at it when i'm back in 2 wks if you're still interested.

A regular outlet in my kitchen works fine, so 110 works. I use a circuit where I am not running other things (dedicated), just to make sure I will not trip a breaker.

I checked it with a Kill-a-watt meter and the wattage has been between 1400-1410. The same for toast, bake and broil. Hope this is helpful.

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 :).

To measure current that high you would need a clamp ammeter or I would recommend the fluke i200 clamp that works with this meter. Remember that if it's AC then there is no polarity. I am assuming that your campground is supplying 120 or 220VAC

My advice ...don t buy it, regardless of watts. Mine quit working properly after 3 weeks. I ordered a replacement...same thing happened after 2 weeks!

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

I have looked all over the box, but cannot find the wattage - I actually looked online also, and still could not find it - sorry.

It's 110. I don't think it draws much current, as it keeps a consistent, rather low temp, but I could be wrong about that.

I haven't measured it with a meter but the literature says it uses 170 watts. If that is accurate it equates to 1.41 Amperes.

It is standard house current. I just plugged it into to wall. Sorry, that's the best I can do. Hope it answers your question.

Can this unit be used to find out the max wattage an appliance uses? I just purchased a portable generator, and would like to see what some of my appliance pull in watts. Thanks

Double check the amp rating on the appliance and multiply that times the voltage to get the actual watts. Just be careful with appliances that have a high starting current...... like anything with motors. They may over load the transformer and trip the breaker(s).

The range for measuring current for this device is 0A to 100A. They spec the ability to measure 50A continuous. The manual is also available online by searching "Watts Up user manual"
