I was going to use this to save electric by turning off a bunch of electronic equipment and TV each night. How many amps does this thing draw?

Its says 15 amp and 1725 watt. I run a couple of 600W grow lights (no idea amperage) from this without a problem.

I defently use a converter..it runs off a 110 outlet. Check the warrenty just in case.

Less than 15 amps. I used it on a room with only 15 amp outlets and it worked fine. It only takes a few minutes to do a room. Be careful when you lower the best onto the wood. You can leave a depression unless you are very careful. Practice in a remote corner till you master it. Keep the machine moving as you lower the belt.

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

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'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC. You have some loss in that process.The basic math is battery voltage x battery Ah so 12x35=420 wh. watt hours. That will run 420 watts for 1 hour, 210 watts for 2 hours etc. In theory. But you never want to drain your batteries below a certain point. I've been warned not to discharge batteries more than 50%. Plus the loss from the inverter, lines etc. You would be looking at 6 batteries just for this simple math not even taking into account the discharge factor. If I'm wrong on any of this someone please point it out. I'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC.

This unit puts out 2Amps, is used to charge 12volt battery. To run a TV, you would have add an inverter (likely around a 1000 watt). For a microwave, you should be running a 3,000 watt or better as it will pull 15 to 20 amps. When running an inverter that large, would use 3 batteries. Have one of these panels and it recovers the batteries on my trailer within a day, my 3000 watt inverter will run a toaster or microwave for an hour.

We used it for a laptop that only draws 1.5 amp. Worked great for that. I would look on the label of the vacuum and it should tell you how many watts and amps it uses. You need to leave car running because it will drain your battery quik. Hope this helps

The timer has a limited range. You can't exceed that. So it depends if you TV falls within that range. 125V/60Hz - 10A/1250W

Mark, I don't know but I'm sure there is a formula that will tell you amps/hours conversion. I love mine, it is great to have camping, at home. I have a converter so I can plug in my DVD player , charge my phone etc..on trips. Good luck and enjoy.

I have it on my 200 amp service at my house. I'm afraid I don't have the technical knowledge to answer your question. I do know that this has saved my new appliances from frying in the last electrical storm.

I dont use it for my TV but for Hairdryer and toaster and toaster oven. Read what I found on Belkin website: USE IT ANYWHERE IN YOUR HOME The Conserve Power Switch can be used with curling irons, clothes irons, electric grills, coffeemakers and space heaters to save energy and make your home safer and tidier. Use with lighting, fans and heaters to limit the electricity they use. Eliminate standby power when charging mobile phones, MP3 players, Bluetooth devices and digital cameras. Good luck,

It draws 4 amps (48W) according to label. I have one and works great for us.

I bought this for my refrigerator. It's plugged into a regular wall socket. Couldn't tell you the amps.

I do not know the amperage of this unit. In practical everyday use I had my AC and 46" TV plugged into it. When the AC compressor kicked in...The overload circuit would kick in. I put the AC on a separate circuit, which I should have done in the first place, I have had no problems and I have all of my computer peripheral power blocks and multi plug extentions and the Samsung TV,,,Not one shut down since and no excessive heat!! It's a good unit. I hope that answers your question....If you would like a complete list of what I have plugged into this unit let me know.

I don't really know an exact answer to your question but I can tell you I'm running my computer on a 15amp breaker along with a few lamps and chargers, 2 monitors, and a TV. I would guess that it's somewhere around or below 5amps but again I don't really know.
