Does anyone know how many amps/watts it uses WITHOUT the heater?

There are actually 2 versions of this heater. One uses incandescent builbs, the more expensive version uses LED bulbs. Without the heater, the incandescent bulb model uses about 35 watts an hour, the LED version only uses 3 watts. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is used without electricity...the heater is total gas. No, it is not diffulcult to light. It does have a pilot light that you can leave on. The thermostate enables the heater to automatically come on as the temperature changes. The heater generates 25000-30000btus.

As I understand it, (been looking into getting one also), they are 2500 Watts per side with two separate plugs (and heating elements). To determine Amperage, you divide Watts by Volts (2500/120)=20.833 Amps **FOR ONE SIDE ONLY**. Hope this helps... In other words, don't expect to plug both sides into a single outlet at 20 Amps - it will trip~

This one uses 120 VAC and draws 8 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps so 120 volts x 8 Amps = 960 Watts. I didn't like this unit, it's very loud and you are limited by the cord. I like the one that runs on propane MUCH better.

It has 2 heat settings, High (1500 watts) and Low (750 watts). Draws 12.5 amps on high. Ionization switch is nice feature. Three year limited warranty.

I think it was 1500 watts. I no longer have the heater. I returned it because it started to make a grinding noise when it would rotate after about two weeks.

I haven't measured it with a meter but the literature says it uses 170 watts. If that is accurate it equates to 1.41 Amperes.

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

I do not recall the wattage. I do know that it did not heat up. I sent it back.

If my measurement was correct, this unit consumes about 65 watts when in "cool" mode. Not sure what the watt usage when in "heat" mode. You could buy a 110v to 12v converter but you'll have to make sure the converter is rated higher than 65 watts.

It does not have this information, but you can calculate, it has 7.00 amp and 120 v, the watts aprox is 850 watts.Regards

I don't know the wattage, but it plugs into a 110 outlet. It doesn't strike me it uses much energy.

The labelled wattage is 24 watts. It works much better than 17 watt unit it replaced. I'm about to order another one for my garage. I just wish it was 30-35 watts and had an auto-shutoff. Auto-shutoff is such an obvious requirement that I wonder why no one offers it.

I have no idea on watts; all I wanted was a small fan/heater for my desk at work ! Sorry I can't help

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 do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes

A 15 amp grounded circuit can handle 1800 watts. This unit uses 1500 watts. I would not have anything else on the same circuit except perhaps one 100watt light bulb. I found my unit only heated within 3 feet,so I returned it. Maybe I got a lemon,but my heater was not an effective source of heat.
