any idea of the wattage consumption? i bought one but im using it with a generator I want to calculate the size generator with this and other items...

Its already installed so I am unable to read the specs BUT I'm a solar tech. To figure your wattage, a 1 HP motor is 746 watts. Check the spec sheet and see what size motor this unit has and extrapolate.

I'm sorry, I don't. It may be on the specs at the bottom of the page on the info page for the fan.

All I can say is how I use it. I use it daily for 4 hrs constantly on a unit that demands 2500 watts. I don't have any issues to date. I hope this helps you.

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

I'm not sure about household components, I would think 2-3. I use mine to run tools for construction. You need to look at watts the generator puts out vs. amps of products you want to run. Search for a chart to see on that. I would go larger than smaller if looking to run a house. I would think a 5000 watt or larger to run refrigerator & AC

Here are some notes I used with my generator. It is rated the same as yours. I use #10 wiring for the 220V/30A plug on the generator. #10 wire is rated at 30A and #8 wire is rated at 50A. For 220V: 5500 watts = 25A 8250 watts = 37.5A For 120V: 5500watts = 45A 8250 watts = 69A Go to http://www.calculatoredge.com. Go to the "Electrical" tab and "Voltage-Current-Resistance-Power Calculator" tab to find the calculations you need. As I stated I use the 10ga.wire hooked to the 220V/30A plug and I split it in the house to (2) 110V circuits. I run 2 refrigerators, sump pumps, couple of lamps, and the furnace if needed. I only use it for essential items during power outages. I don't even get to capacity of the generator with all things running. So calulate first what you are running to make sure the circuit and generator is not overloaded. I hope this helps you out. Best Regards.

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

Hello Connie, For this application it is a little to small you will not be able to rev your generator well and you will find it slightley under powered. I would recommend a larger regulator. it works fine on my 6500 Watt but I normally do not use it at full capacity.

@MDH Unlikely to be 1 Watt - this is a heater! If the above info is correct and the wall wart says Output: 18VDC/3.5A that looks like about 63 Watt; or maybe the Input tells the full story: 110V/1A which would mean a consumption of 110 Watts when operating (more likely) (Stepping down the voltage from 110V should make it safer but less efficient?) If it consumes 110W while operating and it is in 'On' state for 5 hours per night that would mean @ $0.20/KwHr the blanket would cost $3.30 per month to run.It would need a meter attached while operating to find out how juicy it really is. @MDH Unlikely to be 1 Watt - this is a heater!

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

That will only do 5000 watts sorry. Swith not large enough for your generator

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

You know...I looked on the item and I don't know if it is listed. I don't see the wattage listed in the manual. Is there a concern? I am just curious. Thank you.

I have no idea on watts; all I wanted was a small fan/heater for my desk at work ! Sorry I can't help

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

Have no way to measure actual wattage use. It is a great night light and I now have 3 of them.

I used a Killawatt unit to measure my new ADR30A2G. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day.

Why would people vote this question down, silly people. Anyway, did you find out how much electricity this uses? I think you can plug this on a Kill-a-watt meter, I am planning to buy one soon to test these things.
