Does anyone know how much energy consumption this uses when cleaning?

At the manufacturer's site, brochure for similar product states 180 watts. http://www.premierrobotic.com/dolphin-cleaner-specs

It only runs for maybe 2 hrs at the most. Shuts off after the pool is clean. I didn't notice any change in my electricity bill after I got mine.

Sorry Alex, I don't know the answer although there was no significant increase in my electric bill.

Have had my Roomba for several months and use it 2 or 3 times per week (3,000+ square feet). I religiously clean the brushes & shake out (tap) the filters. Have not needed the extra brush & filter set that I bought "just in case". Greatest household purchase I have made in a long time!

sorry I can't say. Mine has not gotten dirty enough for cleaning. When it does I will post my results.

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.

I no longer have this item. It failed after about 4 or 5 cycles and I returned it and purchased the Kendal Industrial Grade 160 Watts 2.5 Liters Digital Heated Ultrasonic Cleaner and it is still working. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018IIPFK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Impossible to give a definitive answer. Too many variables. Where do you live? Pets? Do you regularly vacuum? I clean mine once a month - it's easy and quick.

I just cleaned my wood floor - about 450 sq. ft. The machine was set at 50% steam power. It took about 30 to 45 minutes to clean and the tank was still half full.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for our son, so I am sorry that I can not help you with your cleaning question.

http://www.daftlogic.com/information-appliance-power-consumption.htm I sent a link. The heater uses about the same wattage as a clothes dryer.

I have never really looked . I bought for my dad in case power goes out as he had breathing problems and likes air blowing. He had used it once no problem but I have never looked to see if I can clean it .

I suspect you are using much more than is necessary. One entire level of my house (approx 1300 sq ft) has hardwood floors and I can mop the entire level multiple times (at least 5 or 6) with a single bottle. I typically drizzle a bit of the cleaner on the floor in a large 'S' shape, then mop it over about a 4'x4' square.

Generally, home air purifiers don't consume much power. Though there's nothing about power use in the manual, I'd imagine this unit is no exception since all that's running (without the O3 generator) is a small fan and negative ion generator. From my limited knowledge of O3 (ozone) a higher voltage is necessary to produce it. How much I don't know, but you're not going to be running the O3 generator constantly.

I run mine 24/7. I just turn it off to clean it, then turn it back on again.

I don't know its capacity, but I urge you to get a different ultrasonic cleaner. Personally, I'm throwing mine out, it's that useless.

Not sure what you mean by "clean up". My understanding of this unit is that it serves as a whole house surge protector. It has done that job well for me, saving my appliances from a recent volley of surges within a minute or so. Although I lost not major appliances, I did lose a small power supply for my alarm system, a space heater and the batteries on my desktop backup power supply. Cost me about $150 plus $120 for a new Intermatic surge protector. Might have cost much more without the Intermatic. The Intermatic withstood another dozen or more surges over an eight year period before it gave out a couple of months ago. My electrician recommended it highly and I have been happy with its performance. Not sure what you mean by "clean up".

We turn it on for 5 hrs daily. Low maintenance. Love it. We had disposable filters before very expensive. We used one a week. This is much more efficient and less costly. Saw no significant increase in electricity. Pool is sparkling clean!!! Good Luck

An increase of 10*C will double your cleaning efficiency. So keep that in mind when determining whether or not to use the heater.
