How does this save anything? Measured power consumption of my Wii, Wii-U, and DVD player when off is under 0.5W... about 0.3kWh or 3.3 cents/mo?

Sorry , I can't be specific, it turns everything off that is plugged into it. Can't give you a dollar amount.

Wii's are very efficient power sippers. I have multiple items that suck power even in standby mode. Savings would depend on what you have connected.

It doesn't save a damn thing. That's not why I bought it. I use it to turn on two pieces of equipment with on switch. IT'S MUCH SAFER THAT WAY WHEN WORKING WITH SHARP POWER EQUIPMENT. (and convenient) You don't have to run around the shop to get two pieces of equipment working together.

I got it because it was an easy way to turn cooling fans on and off automatically. My old receiver had switched power outlets in back, but I need something smaller and the new one doesn't. This was the easiest and least expensive way to control the fans. Since it has more than one plug controlled, I plugged my two subwoofer amps into it. They don't use a lot at idle. I can't say how much power savings I'm getting, but that was not the primary reason that I this.

It is rated at 65W running entirely off of the PCIe slot. I don't know actual consumption.

honestly, I'm not sure about that. We don't leave it on if we don't have boots on it. We have it hooked up to a power strip and just flick the switch off when we take the boots off. But I have not noticed my electric bill go up since getting the boot dryer. I personally don't think it uses much power. It does not appear to use much power. I can have my husband look at it though, to see what the watts,etc are if you are interested.

I don't know how much power's consumed by it when not charging, but I leave it plugged in for easy charging. My guess is probably not as much as an alarm clock though.

Sorry. No idea. I have bought three of these and for all I know the model may have changed. When connected properly these devices can 't be beat and certainly are energy efficient. Sorry I couldn't 't help more.

I'm not sure what the power consumption is. I don't think there is a fan. I can feel the vibration of the disk spinning but it is so quite I don't think there is a fan. Cool to the touch so no heat issues. Much quieter than external HD I've had. It just is there running in the background... not noticeable at all

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

It just depends. On high settings I can get 2 1/2 hours out of it while watching videos and downloading. On power saver and lowest dim settings I get about 4- 4 1/2 hours out of it. Hope this helps.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

Try going to "System Preferences" and select "Energy Saver". Uncheck the box that says "Put Hard Disks to Sleep When Possible". That seems like a great thing which will help you save power, but from my experience it just causes issues with external hard drives. Hope this fixes things for you.

I am using one with a power strip for my TV, DVD player, stereo, audio amp, sub-woofer. Very handy when a DVD stops. I turn off the switch for a moment. then open the DVD drawer to remove the problem disc immediately on power up. the only limit is the 15 amp current rating for the number of things to be plugged in.

I measure 0.35 A to 0.55 A (continually fluctuating) when on with no load. When I use the remote to turn off I measure steady 0.26 A. When I use the switch to turn off I measure virtually nothing, a few micro-amps.

I do not recall if we've tried that.. but would guess it does since it needs to keep a lot of config stuff saved - particularly if you get the WIFI dongle thingie..Actually, now that I think about it, I think we've had some power failures since we installed ours and I don't recall having to do anything after the power came back.. Perhaps someone else can chime in too to ensure I'm not wrong..

Thanks Peter;I'm interested in your approach - but can't follow your text description. Could you provide a 'diagram'???I also have EE background - would like to try metering my clothes dryer(220VAC).BTW - do you have a recommendation for a 'whole house' WAM?? preferably with logging, USB capabilityRegards,WT

It claims to save 60% power, not sure what its comparing too and the amount of power it claims to use marked on the device is 9V === 0.6A. Hope this helps.

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.
