I have no idea. But I've been running 2 since the first part of June and the electric bill has gone down a little over the winter bill. Hope that helps. De Lorme

I don't know how many watts it is. We ended up sending it back. The sound was good to start but it got scratchy.

According to the book that I have, it says 1800 watts. Hope this helps you somehow.

The owner's manual says it uses 750 watts on low up to 1500 watts on high. I cannot find any information on how many watts it produces.

Not sure how many watts, but sounds great. Use it by the pool, purchased a second one for my office and take it with me when I travel.

Depends on if you have 115 or120 volts. With a 115 volts, mine run about 120 watts or less. Measured with a kill o watt meter.

I have not measured how many watts it is, but I can tell you that you can put your habnd right next to it and it's not hot at all. I do not recommend that you buy this unit. It does not get hot at all. Barley warm. The only good thing is the way it looks. Don't buy it. Spend your money somewhere else. I hope that helps.

It uses 13 watts. I found the specs on the Peet web site after my initial answer.

According to the owner's manual it consumes 600 watts. A label affixed to the back of the unit states the same, 600 watts consumption.

The unit operates on 120 volts (which is the power that is available at an outlet in the USA) and 0.4 amps. As far as power consumption, power is measured in amps. Since Power (measured in watts) = Voltage x Amperage, it would be 120v x 0.4a = 48 watts when in use.I hope this helps.

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.

Hi, I am not sure what the wattage is, but I can tell you this unit is very energy efficient. I used to use a window fan for noise, and this does not draw as much power. It is small. I feel it is smaller than most units. However, don't let the size fool you. It is great. The sound is incredible. There are many different sound options. I have been sleeping great since using this. I hope I was able to answer your question.

The unit draws 17 watts. Unless you have a flat bottom cup this thing won't work very well.

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

120 Volts A.C. / 60 HZ / 0.85 Amps Customer rep said the unit uses 102 watts at high fan setting (they did not have the specs for the other two settings - but I would have to think the low fan setting would be @ 50 watts.)

This unit is powered by a Honda engine, which is key. The unit runs at 7000 watts and has a peak of 8,750 watts. Whether that is enough for your home depends on the sq. footage. I really like the unit although I have not had to use in an outage as of yet.
