How much power does this Bunn consume keeping water heated all the time?
1041245
My wife ask this question, so upon receipt of our new BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer I measured the electric power consumption using a 'KILL A WATT' meter. The following are measured results: initial heating of room temperature water inside the reservoir took 14 minutes and consumed 160 watts; leaving the brewer turned on after initial heat up consumed 530 watts over a 17 hour measurement period (doing the math this converts to 31 watts per hour or approximately 750 watts per day). Hope this helps. Thom

I can not give an answer in pennies but this is my 2nd Bunm and we never saw an increase. My entire family uses a Bunn - one style or another - and none of us view it as an added expense

Thom Searl actually used a meter and measured usage at 750 watts per day. Here in western North Dakota, we are billed at 11 cents per kilowatt hour, so this calculates to 8.25 cents per a full 24 hour day, or $2.47 per month (30 day month).

I can't say for sure, but certainly not enough that you notice it on a household light bill. The tank is pretty well insulated, considering it's holding 200 degree water and only feels slightly warm.

Not sure how one could find out power use with everthing elese running in house.

There is no water that is heated after the coffee is made. The carafe is insulated so it is designed to keep the coffee warm without heating after the coffee is made.

1500 watts. I would not recommend this kettle. Sometimes the auto shutoff does not work.

You sure can. The only thing is that you will have to wait in the morning for the pot to heat. They do not take much electricity to keep the water warm. The morning speed of making coffee is the best reason (3 Minutes) is what you buy the Bunn for, besides making restaurant quality coffee.

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.

It is 200 WATTS. Processes ice perfectly and quickly. Chops veges in seconds. I would not be without it.

Big maybe 200,000 btus. I used it to brew beer. It is to big for a 20 gallon kettle

Stand says it is 1500 W. I've had other, more expensive kettles and they were no faster at heating the water. It is very fast.

Hi, Jeffrey,It is quite fast. Most boiler are 750w, this is 850w. My gut feeling is about 10, or may be 15, minutes to bring it to a boil from cool tap water. Definitely faster than other boilers I have used.

The Heavy Duty Windstream uses , I think 2.7amps and 120 watts. These fans are powerful but don't use a lot of electricity like an Air Conditioner does. I often keep mine on all day long during the summer and run one upstairs and one downstairs for my dogs.

The panel might put out 35 Watts (about 3 amps) part of the time. I'm not sure what water heater you're talking about, but 35W is not a lot of power. It certainly won't make any power for the morning cup of coffee or the evening shower. It only works when the sun is out and bright.

Our heating element usually lasts about five years. I'd be raising hell with Bunn if I were you.

Please clarify for me what you meant by the water tank reheat cycle. My concern is how much electricity is drawn on a continuing basis assuming that the Keurig (mine is a B66) is left on 24/7. I have noticed a higher than normal electricity bill and want to know how much the Keurig contributes to it. Incidentally, it is used for about 2-3 12 oz cups per day. How many KwH am I using a month?

It's 120 Volts, 1500 Watts. There is no plastic in contact with the water. I've been happy with the product, the water heats much faster than the stove and it turns itself off after an hour.

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.

Runs all the time . Not sure about the watts . Very little effect on my electric bill, if that's what worries you .
