How many watts does this use? I wanna run it using a portable generator.

You do not want to run it with a generator because it is worthless! It is the most worthless item I have ever purchased. You are bettert 0ff operating a fan. It does not perform well.

It has worked on 220amp line, but don't forget that this is not for a lot of wattage. If you need more power you really should move up to a more powerful generator. I love the fact that this is very portable, fires up fast and I won't have to stand in long gas lines for fuel God forbid we get another "Sandy"

Not sure. It runs off of 110 household voltage, so I assume that a standard generator would work.

I have it hooked up on my rv, and the answer is, it varies. I get on average 8 amps an hour (2-15). I never have to run my generator to charge my batteries.

This generator will produce 7500 watts at 120 volts under normal conditions. That's around 34 amps. on 220 volts. Every appliance has a tag on it explaining the power consumsion. The time is now to write down each one to see how much you can plug together in an emergency. Haveing the Gen. connected to an emergency sub panel will eliminate a lot of exentsion cords in foul waether. Remember, water & electricity don't mix. Be safe.

Yvette,The machine has 600 watts. It works very well. we use it fairly often. I guess almost weekly.

Watts = Amps x Volts. I am pretty sure you are asking a joke question but in case you really don't know, a laptop is probably 5 amps and it might need 15 volts. Every electric appliance is required to have a label on it with this information. You will need a minimum of 75 (5 x 15) watts just to run your laptop. But if you thinking of running this portable generator in your car, you are nuts and will likely die from carbon monoxide poisoning. This thing makes the noise of a large lawn mower and throws out a lot of exhaust.

Sorry, I can not answer that question as we have never used it with a generator.

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

I use it for a 7500 watt running and a 10500 watt surge generator and it works just fine. If you want to be especially safe check it after fifteen minutes of use, if the cord is hot discontinue. I'll bet it will be just fine.

I have run this off of a large diesel generator (tow behind rental). Worked just fine. Might draw too many amps for a small generator.

That will only do 5000 watts sorry. Swith not large enough for your generator

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

It has its own power supply, so it could probably run low wattage devices. However I attached it to an externally powered usb enclosure.

I'm sorry I don't have knowledge to answer your question.I just run it at 1500 watts the first hour then turn it down to 1000 watts for the three hours i'm watching the football game.

You might want to consult an electrician on that question. We only use the generator to charge the battery on our rv.

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