does this work with a standard outlet? didn't older units over 12000 btus need a special outlet to work (ie clothes washers type outlet)?

It works on my 20 amp circuit, but it will be most of the load. If it's hot outside and this is on it should be the only high-powered device on the circuit. Even a computer or two may result in it tripping.

The one we have plugs directly into regular wall socket. Nothing special required.

It has a standard plug. Of course, I had to install an outlet where I needed it. I have had it 4 years and still works like a charm. Good luck.

it work with a regular 110 v outlet up to .25 inch think steel... if you want to weld thinker steel then you need to use 220 v like your dryer uses.

No, because in all likelihood the "source" of AC power when using this adapter to plug in to a standard 115V AC outlet is only rated for 15A max. Which means the load current that circuit can "safely" provide should not exceed 12A continuously. Most Air Conditioners, (and space heaters), other than "portable" units, are generally rated at higher amperage.

Be cause its 220 capable it does not come with an outlet plug like a dryer but you intall any 220 you need fpr your home. You can use a standard 110 plug but its difficult to weld on 110 volts and if you make sure you switch the set screw switch fron 220 - 110 volts

Washer yes, Dryer if it's 115v . I've not actually tried it but based upon the Amps avail it should do the job.

Yes. It has a two twenty plug. I do not use it for my stove or clothes dryer or water heater along with everything else, but you can operate them separately.

The outlet unit only takes one outlet. I often have another appliance in the other and there is plenty of space. I have been using for a week and still very happy with the performance.

Answer here... I have never never seen any heaters that operate at standard 120 VAC with ratings higher than 1500 Watts, which is 12.5 amps. This is safely within the 20 amp limit of household breakers. Six to eight times that power would require 75 to 100 amps.

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

You should have standard voltage which is what this unit requires. If you remain unsure just ask your building superintendent - or call your utility provider to assuage any doubts you may have.

Works fine for me in a house that still has several older outlets that haven't been upgraded yet. I would invest in an updated outlet (properly grounded) by an trained electrician if you intend to use sensitive electronics over a long-term in that location though.

I wired a dryer outlet and put a dryer plug on the unit because I plan to move in the next few years. I had to install bigger breakers and also used larger gauge wire. You should consult an electrician.

If you buy the unit I reviewed, then yes you will need an outlet, because it has a booster pump, that is the part that requires electrical power. I believe they may have a version of this same unit that doesn't have the booster pump. Those units don't need power.For any of those out there that don't know, RO systems with booster pumps work so much better than units that don't.

Yes. It appears that the unit require to be connected to a 110 outlet during use.

Negative, this bed receives all electrical power through a standard outlet. Probably a AC/DC converter to 12v DC.

I have a 120VAC outlet. The unit is plugged directly into that with the power cord that was attached at the factory.
