Hi,I just bought two of these and they work really great. Have installed them in my well house.Don't have any idea on how many watts they draw, but it can't be very high as the heat is not very high. My guess would be approx. 40-50 W.Hope this helps.George

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

Volts x Amps= watts so watts divided by voltage = amps. 80/12=6.66 amps. It certainly draws quite a bit more during startup.

In theory, 11.8 amps. I wouldn't use it for anything much over 8 or 9 amps - that gives you almost a 1000 watts of power. Remember, 1000 watts means you will be drawing over 80 amps from your battery!

Hi Brian... don't know how many watts it uses... I do know that from low speed to hi speed it draws 0.2 to 1.9 amp DC which is very good. I love mine...buy one you won't be sorry I promise...hope this is usefull for you...Lou

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.

700 watts per ring. With both rings turned on, it consumes 1400 watts, which is within the capacity of a normal 15-amp receptacle.

watts to amps ratio is about 100 to 1, they claim 1300 watts , so that would be about 13 amps. my experience with the inverter proved to be less then that.

In full sun mine at times produced 180 watts which = 15amps. But not all the time. depends on the sun.

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.

According to the manual, on high heat it is 1500 watts. and 750 on low heat

1,500 watts/5,000 BTW 12.5 amp. Plugs into a regular wall socket. Find this in the expanded description. Energy efficient rating.

It has no on off switch but you can unplug it. I tested mine out and found that when nothing is using it it consumes about 0.1 watts and when it is in use that goes up to around 0.3 watts. I wouldn't be worried about leaving it on all the time.

18 watts per iirc... But i have mine line out to an amp so cannot comment on the acceptability of that wattage.

I'm not quite sure of how many watts/amps it uses...It warms to the perfect temperature for eating...Not too hot - just unplug and eat!!!!!

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.
