Does this only run at 1500 watts all of the time? I.e., there's no lower wattage available such as an "eco" setting?

This has no eco setting on this unit. But the temperature can be set and there is a thermostat that cycles it on and off. If you're concerned about energy savings, you'll see it because the unit only heats when the thermostat calls for it. We heat a 600 square foot area to 70 degrees. The heater has no problems with this at all. It gets used a minimum of twelve hours a day and our electric bill has only increased by 6 dollars a month.

The energy savings comes with the temperature sensor - it will turn off once it's reached the temperature that you've set. The temperature you set will determine how much energy you use.

Mine is 1500 watts. I love my grill. I cook most of my meat on my grill. I make toasted cheese sandwiches, cheese tortilla sandwiches. Super easy cleanup. Highly recommend you get De'Longhi over any other.

Actually on high it uses 1500 watts (1389 showing on my meter) and 900 watts on low. Previous models of these that I own offered three wattage options; 500, 1000, and 1500. So I miss the lower 500 watt option - not available on this newer model.

Karen, I just looked mine over but found nothing referring to wattage. I do love mine though and will tell you that it is powerful.

The unit I have has 1600 Watt raging on it. A 1500 watt appliance would be pushing the upper limit.

I asked the same question and according to "Janalive" who answered my question 1500 watts but I cant verify this as even DeLonghi website do not have it mentioned anywhere!

I'm sorry I don't have knowledge to answer your question.I just run it at 1500 watts the first hour then turn it down to 1000 watts for the three hours i'm watching the football game.

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.

I've had the plug get a little warm if I run it on high (1500 watts) all night in a cold room. No problem running it at low, 750 watts.

Not sure if just the fan is on. It's probably very low, I would guess 50-75 watts. This heater is great, I put it on the low heat setting, and keep it next to me when it's cold outside. This way, I can turn down my house heat and save tons of money. I would estimate that on the low heat setting, using this heater every-night, my electric bill only goes up another $15

My advice ...don t buy it, regardless of watts. Mine quit working properly after 3 weeks. I ordered a replacement...same thing happened after 2 weeks!

Full 5500W - it is NOT have adjustable / variable settings (no thermostat on the element).

The owner's manual says it uses 750 watts on low up to 1500 watts on high. I cannot find any information on how many watts it produces.

NO. Watt rating for an appliance is the same regardless of voltage. A 1500 watt (typical) portable heater requires 10X more energy than this device will handle. TIP: don't expect miracles from devices like this. This one would be good for a laptop, or some lighting, etc. And higher capacity units like this for higher demands, require bigger battery banks. Also assume just 90% efficiency. Do a little more research.

I will have to say no to that! It won't even run my 900 Watt microwave I have in my semi. They tell you the inverter is 3000 W but actually it's only 1500. I was disappointed when I receive the inverter and it said it on the box.

Instructions state not to use more than 60 watts and no eco bulbs. Love mine works great

on a 1500 watt unit it will handle only about 1200 watt load. my opinion is that what you are asking it to do, it won"t do it.
