How many watts does this use? We are off grid.

The Excalibur Dehydrator D900CDSHD as all of the 9 tray dehydrators have a 7 inch fan and use 600 watts of power. The heating element turns on and off to maintain an even temperature but the fan runs continuously. The 5 tray models uses 440 watts because they have a smaller 5 inch fan.Thank you for asking VeggieSensations. See our offer for this product ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

We have no idea. I'd ask an electrical person. Don't know "watts" the difference. Sorry, couldn't resist.

honestly, I'm not sure about that. We don't leave it on if we don't have boots on it. We have it hooked up to a power strip and just flick the switch off when we take the boots off. But I have not noticed my electric bill go up since getting the boot dryer. I personally don't think it uses much power. It does not appear to use much power. I can have my husband look at it though, to see what the watts,etc are if you are interested.

I think it is 100 watts. I am using a 75 watt and a 25 watt in two separate areas.

According to the book that I have, it says 1800 watts. Hope this helps you somehow.

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

Will your system be grid tied or off grid ?For grid tie or "back feed" systems we reccomend our 1000 Watt "plug in play" inverter. See our site at :www.planetary-defense.comIf you are off grid, we would favor a 4000 Watt pure sine wave inverter, depending on battery bank size.

If you run it on the highest setting, it uses 1500 watts per hour which is 1.5 kilowatts. Our power company charges 7 cents per KWH (kilowatt hour) so if we run it on high for an hour, it costs us 10.5 cents an hour. If you use the lower settings, you use lower watts so the cost is less. Your electric bill should tell you how much you are being charged per KWH.

Is 110w. However it uses a lot of energy, because is cycling on/off most of the time.

You can leave the inverter on all the time. It does use a couple of watts when there is no solar input, but that is not a problem.

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

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.

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

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

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.

Yes this is off grid, charge controller is a simple one not mppt. Wish it was. Solar panels work great have had hooked to a sun gti 500watt. I c 160 watts on avg out of these two panels. I bought this kit and two batteries so i could cover myself if grid went down. Good luck.

Unfortunately, no. We have a 24' travel trailer with the Go Power Solar Extreme kit install, along with 450 AH of batteries and are not able to fire up the AC unit. It will run the Microwave, TVs, Laptops, etc with no problem, but those rooftop AC units are too power hungry (we have just one)! It appears you would need a generator in your arsenal if you want off-grid AC. :(
