is this unit energy efficient ?

We have been running this unit constantly since April. We live on Long Island and the basements are all underground and damp if you do not dehumidify. This unit is perfect for us. Never turn it off and I have not seen any difference in our electric bill.

Sorry, I haven't used it enough to find out. My experience is, however, that the portable AC's aren't efficient air conditioners, just a whole lot cheaper to purchase and install. If I needed and AC to be operating all or much of the time, I would probably buy the a permanent installation such as Mitsubishi and others sell.

Not really sure. I run mine on a generator at an off grid cabin. The 3000 watt generator runs hard to keep up. These units not as efficient as a window unit. The cabin is 450 square feet and on hot (98 deg. Plus) days it runs hard and can't get it below 77 deg. That said I don't think they are efficient.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.

Not really.I would not recommend this unit. This is our 2nd one in 1 1/2 years. The first one died after 6 months and this one is only 3 months and is working off and on.

yes it has an energy saver mode...I just set the temperature at 77 and the fan on low...it performs well...

Yes. Unit will still operate even if electrical power goes out. Btw unit produces ample hot water and is energy efficient

This is the 2nd winter for me having this product. It is lightweight, slient and easy to move from room to room.It will keep rooms warm that are 12 x 10 or smaller. And, yes it is energy efficient. I am extremely happy with this item. Hope this helps in your decision making.

Honestly I have no idea about the efficiency of this unit. However I must say that this is the loudest little power inverter I have ever owned. I don't use it because it has a cooling fan that runs all the time and is quite loud.

As long as the circuit you are drawing from isn't being used by another appliance that is drawing alot of power it should be fine. This unit will not cool much more than one room though, the portable units are not as efficient as a window unit at cooling.

what is the power consumption on this unit ? I need answers from actual users please.. Thanks

No. My unit works well. We typically use it for 3 to 5 hours at a time to heat up our basement TV area.

I've never noticed an increase in my electric bill from using mine(I run two at once)but I run air conditioners in the summer and edenpure heaters in the winter so the energy consumption of my dehydrators is probably minimal compared to those.

The most powerful R/V units could pull 2000 watts when cooling, 1800 when heating. It should run that and the refrigerator and a small TV, so it depends on what else you have to power for these it should be OK.

No I didn't notice anything about that. And I'm not sure how energy saving it is. I use it in a small bathroom.

I cannot say it is energy efficient ??? but keeps the den habitable to enjoy and can lower the main furnace (electric heat) so not entire heater has to run as often.

Yes. My understanding is that the efficiency factor for 1600 watt will be 2000 watts (1600 x 1.25). This is much lower than the capacity of 3000 watts of the unit

Sorry. No idea. I have bought three of these and for all I know the model may have changed. When connected properly these devices can 't be beat and certainly are energy efficient. Sorry I couldn't 't help more.

Not much ... but I can't tell you exactly. Its computer probably uses a little all the time. It runs a little fan when it is making heat and for about 10 seconds afterwards. It depends on how much you use it, obviously. On the plus side, it adapts its heat to the temp of incoming water, so you can use solar to preheat and reduce LP consumption. It's a great heater, and while we're on the grid, we produce most of our own electricity "on house" and are very sparing ... and we use TKjrs on all our units.
