When it's plugged in does it run and use 150 Watts all the time or only when the temp gets below a certain level? Can't find that info on the box.

I don't really know for sure, but I bet the unit is on all the time. We unplug it when the weather is above freezing, which is not much of a hardship, as the birdbath requires near daily care to keep it filled and cleaned, so plugging it in at the beginning of winter and unplugging it in the spring is not a big deal. That said, we have freezing temps all winter and you might not in your area.

It does not run on that wattage the entire time and only when temps goes below freezing.

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

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.

The sticker on the bottom of the unit says 120V60Hz1500W. The instruction booklet says temperatures range from about 250 degrees F on Low and 400 degrees F on High. I hope this is what you are looking for.

It does have a comoressor that draws approximately 75 watts when running. Thats how it gets to sub zero temperatures.

Not sure I understand the question. My car has an internal timer that I set to midnight-to 5am so I pay the least amount for electricity. I get home, I plug the car in about 6pm. The Wattstation comes on briefly, then turns off until the timer tells it to come on again. I love this unit because you can customize it with a Gelaskin to make it look like a piece of art. Hope this helps.

In full sun mine at times produced 180 watts which = 15amps. But not all the time. depends on the sun.

The instructions say that it only turns on below 60 degrees. However, I only plug it in when it snows. Otherwise it'll run all the time when it's cold. I've been happy with it this winter, it keeps things melted several inches around it. However, downstream from it, water runs under the snow and it's a little icy.

It has its own power supply, so it could probably run low wattage devices. However I attached it to an externally powered usb enclosure.

The inverter will not get to 150deg. If it does it will eventually shut down and cool off to protect it from damage. Thanks ML SOLAR

I do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes

It's under powered, if you plug in a few things and they have more than the rated amps it just gets really hot and then stops working.

There is no power level setting. It is either on using 1500W or off (or cooling down). The heat is a very gentle even heat, nice to stand by. The high flow filter is in a little frame that is removable and washable.

I have mine in the pump house plugged into a thermo-cube outlet that turns on at 35 F and off at 45F. I have the heater set at 750W and low and it works fine.

It's a simple temperature controller with a high temp and low temp setting. As long as you don't exceed the listed wattage and voltage, it will power on when the temp goes above a set temp or below a set temp. basic wiring expertise required.

From all I read about it and the instructions it says 1500 Watts. Hope this helps.

It runs at 1500w. From my prospective it eats up too much electricity bc there are some heater just costs as low as 600w with similar output
