How many watts does the heating element use in this unit?
1003012
All I really know about mine is it uses 2 -7 watt small blue light bulbs also has temp control I love this brooder system and have bought more grow pens with the extensions and love them. It has paid for itself.

The wattage is not listed on the unit. But it does say, "Any questions, call 1-800-233-0268."Oh heck, I went ahead and Googled it. It has two heat settings. The highest setting is 1500 watts. The lower setting is 750 (or 900) watts.

It is 125 watts with 150 volts. It has Low to High settings. Very nice! This information was on the temperature control.

The manual states "at 1500 watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTU." I wish I could be more helpful. I bought my heater at the END of last winter and have not yet used it, but hope to beat the high costs of electric heat this coming winter.

This unit claims to use 10 watts. There are 8760 hours in a year. So this would use about 87.6 KWH (kilowatt hours). Assuming you pay about 12 cents / KWH, it works out to about $10.50 a year.

Unit is 1200 watts. Unsure of heater coil itself. Works great for coffee roasting

It's 1500 Watt. I use the heater everyday and sometimes several hours at a time. I've had no problems with it and still love it. This is my second winter using it.

If my measurement was correct, this unit consumes about 65 watts when in "cool" mode. Not sure what the watt usage when in "heat" mode. You could buy a 110v to 12v converter but you'll have to make sure the converter is rated higher than 65 watts.

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

The tech data sheet which comes with the heater shows that it has an element which is rated at 1440 watts which is 12 amps. Mine is working off a 15 amp breaker with no problems.

In the booklet it comes with, it says: Input Voltage: 120VAC/60 Hz. Power Consumption at 1.0 min./working: 650 watts/60 watts Im assuming this means its uses 650 watts per minute. It also says it takes 3-5mins to heat up. We just got ours and we live off grid on solar power. I wished I had asked this question before I bought it, because we only have a 300 Watt inverter, so we wont be able to use this. AND, Lava just flowed into my town of Pahoa yesterday, so no more post office service soon. I'd have to drive over an hour to get to a post office and return it, so I might just keep it, and save up for a bigger inverter. I just called Purple Cows and, after being on hold for a minute, I was asked to leave a message and told that someone would call me back. That was at 12:23 I got a call back at

1300 watt. Very happy with this model. Plenty powerful enough and convection works great.

I did use it on a small electric water heater of 1500 watts for a few times and it worked fine. I had it come on for about 15 minutes per day for a few days. The instructions say it can handle up to about 1800 watts.

Hi,I just bought two of these and they work really great. Have installed them in my well house.Don't have any idea on how many watts they draw, but it can't be very high as the heat is not very high. My guess would be approx. 40-50 W.Hope this helps.George

There are two heat settings; low and high. They probably correspond to 1500 and 750 watts output. The thermostat will work with either setting.

I use mine to control a room of baseboard electric heaters. About 4000 watts in total. I would say the temperature is + or - two degrees or less.
