how any watts does it consume? i will be running a portable ac off of a generator, so i need to know.

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.

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

I am really sorry but am unable to answer your question. We have not connected this generator as yet and not too familiar. Really sorry

I don't know the watts for this; we bought it specifically to use with batteries. I can tell you that it is a great fan, though.

I use it for portable. It uses 5.6 KW so it does use a lot of power in real cold weather.

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.

I just bought a space saver 6. I use a Kill-a-Watt device to measure the power consumption. It is around 40 watt per hour.

I haven't put a multimeter on it yet, planning to do that next time we go camping. The manufacturers literature lists maximum output as 7 watts and 467 mAh. I'll update this when I get real life figures.

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

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

You need to see how many amps the a/c is using then multiply that by 120 to see the watts required to run the a/c. I would not recommend this if the watts are within the range of 1500 or higher. Im guessing it is, which means the generator will be running at full power and will shorten the life of the generator. I would recommend a generator that produces minimum of 2800 watts

I used my Kill-A-Watt to measure mine and after 2275 hours on it broke down to 26 cents a day/ $7.99 a month to keep my 14' by 12' office at 70 degrees. Very efficient. It pulls 11amps/1262watts when running at full blast. I've had mine for at least 4 years and it still works wonderfully.

Hi. I don't know generators but this unit doesn't use much power. I have it plugged into a socket that has many other things running. Only time I blew a breaker was when I had a space heater going on the same breaker.. plus a tv and my electric blanket. Whoops. I would think any generator that could handle 110 would handle this. Probably better to think bigger. I live in the mountains and the power goes out quite a bit. I use my Friedrich but when power goes out here I use a Lennox wood stove for heat and cooking. Also.. if the unit you are asking about has a cool feature.. that is a selling feature. It has heat.. cool and dehumidify. I had mine permanently installed by my computer desk. I would think you need to research the generator you are looking at first. How much power does it supply. If it only supplies a light bulb I doubt it would work. My unit requires a circuit rating of 15 amp and 125 volt. I would think you should look at the generator rating and see if it meets.. or better.. exceeds that rating. I hope that helps.

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

I don't know how many watts it uses, but I know it does not blow a circuit when other electrical appliances are being used. I would say, it uses as much as a crockpot.

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

It runs my Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with no problems at all. Even the power spike that occur when you first turn it on is handled gracefully. Comparing BTUs to wattage used is a bit "apples to oranges", but I've used this generator to power the air conditioner AND a 1200 watt microwave oven at the same time, so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. It WILL rev the engine up to compensate. That's normal. But it's still really quiet compared to other generators.
