Has power consumption been a problem for any of you (e.g. has the BES900XL tripped a circuit-breaker in your home)? I noticed it uses 1700w. Thanks

Its plugged in the kitchen in the same plug as a panini bread press, even with both on the breaker never been tripped.

I have no idea what the power consumption is, but I've daisy chained 2 units before with FireWire 800 and it's been fine, works great.

Howdy Bp: 24 months, their option as to whst to do. They are not easy to delwith. I had a 2000W go bad (my ault) and my authorized repair station (Colordo Springs did not want to work on it) He told me tht these cheap units are basicall;y a throw away item. So, beware. HOWEVER, I have both the 1000W and the 2000W and they run 24/7. At the current price, if one goes bad, I'll just buy a new one. Hope this helps.BTW their landline # is 1.800.670.0707customerservice@xantrex.com

Not so fast joshsia.I just oredered an 850W, and got the 1250W in its stead. All the paper work said and the amount charged was for the 850W which makes the warranty worthless.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

Richard, Not really. The panel and power supply will demand a certain amount of power. Some might suggest that changing your settings from bright to dim may change the power consumption, but the difference in power usage is minimal. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Tell BixPower your needs and see if they can meet it. They respond fairly well to questions. Mine is larger because to how many watt hour it is.

I have found the B&S; 7K Watt very reliable, easy start and has trickle battery charger to ensure battery is fully charged. As to the whole house, I take the 220V and distribute it through the circuit breaker panel to 110V to run two refrigerators, one freezer, kitchen lights to include gas stove, other house lights, 12K BTU window a/c and a T.V. As to this load, the B&S; generator has no problem whatever. I have not had the need as of yet to run 220V electric water heater. As to the other comments, agree that the generator would not be able to handle the whole house to include central air, etc. For the price, it is excellent!

I agree with the others. My Phenom 9850BE processor noticeably warms my room up under heavy load as it is. I expect that this one at 220 watts would definitely affect your heating/cooling expenses. Nothin' gives ya the WARM fuzzies like a fast multicore processor! :-)

I don't know about the total power consumption-it uses our regular 120v outlet in our bathroom. Have not noticed any increase in the electric bill...

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

I recently got a LN40C650 and researched it up and down, and honestly I never heard of any power supply issues. The most recent edition of Consumer Reports puts Samsung LCDs near the top for reliability, picture quality and value. I don't think you should base your buying decision on that power supply issue. (just my opinion)

Mine unit is not hot. I'm pulling twice as many watts (~235W). I run for 5 hours. Its sounds like you have a problem, maybe a fire hazard. I'm not sure of the electrical specs, if you have a voltmeter you might try measuring the voltage or amps.

Craig, thanks for your response. I asked a salesperson at an electronics store and he says that the 165W is probably referring to the power consumption not the total power and that would be typical for a 290W sub. What ate your settings showing in S. cal. and ind. speaker settings, if you don't mind sharing?

Apparently the power supply has been changed (downgraded actually), My one isBLACK&DECKER; CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLYP/N: 90602523-01Model No: S0100U2300040INPUT: 120V ~ 60Hz 0.3AOUTPUT: 23V DC 400mAIt's really disappointed me as I am in China and I need 220V!I checked the comment and question answers before I purchased it, now it has been downgraded. :-(

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I had the unit packed up in a storage unit but I brought it out today. I'm sure i'm to late with this info for you but maybe it will help someone else. It's Amps used are 4.6 I set it up today, the bedroom upstairs was 86 inside. After about 2 hours it had dropped down to a comfortable 73. I'm sure by bedtime it will be in the upper 60's which is where I like to keep it if I can.

Have been using the cook top with 110 power. The one note is that I have placed it on a dedicated circuit. This is probably best since the kitchen uses a lot of appliances at the same time.
