Information provided for this item indicates the motor is 450 watts. Other sites list the motor as 500 watts. Which is it?

The label on the unit says 500 watts. I've been mostly using it as a handmixer (beating egg whites for waffles, etc); I love it.

our mixer says on the label 500 watts and we are very,very happy. Best Mixer ever !!

The label says "max 500w" "120v ac 60HZ" I purchased it as a hand mixer, simple mixing that does not require my large one, but my whisk is insufficient. Hope this helps.

So the manufacturer's site is out of date, how does this affect this model? This is a back motor with more than 250 watts as described...
651185
motor p/n 6284878 ...17 amps. Keep in mind you need to run it on 30 amp service due to the initial start up draw.

The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.
168554
I just checked the web console on mine and it says its max power is 370 watts.

The Watts associated with the 4 speeds are: 56,45, 36, &29. It is 60 HZ and 120V.It comes with a 5 yr. limited warranty regardless of where you are. Their warranty service number is 800-234-0604

That's the rub...the literature included with the blender does not specifically state what it is. By law, electric motor manufacturers HAVE to put the volt & amp ratings on the nameplate of the motor, or in the blenders case, on the bottom of the blender. I looked at the bottom of the machine and it stated, "120 Volts 60 Hz 3 Amps." I learned from my electrical engineering classes, power = (volts)x(amps) = (120 volts)x(3 amps) = 360 Watts, therefore it is a 360 watt blender. In my review, I typed what they included in their booklet and it was phrased in such a way that it stunk of "bait & switch."

It's for 110VAC 60hz input, Max Load: Flourescent: 400W/3.3A, Tungsten: 500w/4.1A, Motor: 1/8 HPAs stated on the unit.

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.

My apologies. Forgot to mark your email as unread until I got the answer. Then forgot to look at motor. Noticed your email question as I was deleting old emails. You probably no longer need it but here is the answer. 19.5 amp, 60 HZ,110 V, single phase, power 8.2 KW. Once again, sorry for the delay. Ed

It has .9 HP. I believe it is a little less than 700 Watts. Please see this review:http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/tests/4332328

Thank you for asking. I was wondering, since the listing currently says it's both 120 watts and "low wattage" (?)

I found a PDF on it and it says it's 5 watts, confusing since the cheaper AWSBTSK is also 5 watts.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

It is not disclosed anywhere, but it should be approximately 200 watts based on the amperage written on the motor unit.

It is electric. 110 volt. Its a great motor. Get the fifty pound motor and u will be glad you did.
