what is the amp rating on this heater

I put this on a 15 amp line without any problem, this thing does not draw a lot

The thermostat is an in line thermostat, rated at 3600 watts @240 volts. Max amps is 15. I installed 6 of them in my rooms(zonal electric baseboard heat). My electric bills went down by about 15% last spring.

The voltage on this heater is 120 volts. Be careful where you put it because this heater draws 12.5 amps. Most circuits are 15 amps so be carful. Only plug this heater directly into an outlet. If you are going to use an extension cord, make sure it will handle the amperage. I don't recommend using an extension cord. It does work well, just be careful because it does get hot.

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

Sorry I hit yes when I wanted to hit no. The heater can draw 21 amps if running at full power. I believe it runs at full every time it starts. It cycles often to maintain heat. The inrush current might be too high for the generator breaker switch.

I'd suggest a circuit with a 20amp minimum. Preferably 25-30amp. Theses heaters draw a lot of power. (And no, its not a good idea to put a 25-30amp fuse in what was intended to be a 15amp circuit. The wiring is a smaller gauge and can't handle the current)

It doesn't say in the manual but using standard conversion table the heater produces 750 watts which at US standard 110 volts which converts to 6.25 amps and on high it produces 1500 watts so draws 13.64 amps. Hope this helps. Side note, we have been using this heater almost daily for the past four months and think it's the best of 5 or 6 heaters (different types/brands) we've tried over the past few years.

About 735 Watts (6.2 Amps)(Most heaters are rated for 750watts on Low, I got the above figure by borrowing my boss's Kill-A-Watt meter)

Husband just looked in the owners manual. It is a 12 amp air conditioner, Sorry it took me so long, I kept forgetting to ask him. :)

All electric heaters are 100% efficient. My heater ran on a 15 amp 120 volt circuit.

I like the answer about buying an immersion heater, that is a good suggestion, but if you stay with this product it draws less than 15 amps (probably about 10) on 12 volts. In watts that is 120.

It's 240v, a great heater in a alittle package. Takes the chill of quickly and keeps my 2 car garage at a nice temp

Not sure of the amps..but I have it wired in with two grill lights and a dash light and have never had any problems

There is typically a lot of current draw in a heater. I would check the spec sheet on the mfg Web site to see what this is rated at. Not sure I would feel comfortable, this is more for lighting and lower wattage items in my opinion.

It seems the circuit that you put the heater on needs to have a minimum 15 amp capacity, but in my experience the heater doesn't even pull 1/2 that amperage.

The installation instructions require a 60 amp circuit beaker. I had mine connected to a 60 then I moved and now have it hooked up to a 50 amp. I had my brother test the amp usage of my unit and it uses between 42 - 44 amps at full draw. It has two heating elements and uses only one at 21 -22 amp draw unless you use enough water to kick in the second unit. Then it draws the full 42 - 44 amps. The heater only uses one heating element for a shower, but if you run the showing and a sink, then it uses both heating elements to meet the demand. They require 60, but mine runs on 50 just fine. I hope that helps with your decision.
