Power useage as compared to toaster oven or toaster

It doesn't matter, this unit is a piece of junk. I went thru 4 within a year. Amazon refunded my money after 13 months of disappointment. Look into a farberware similar unit.

I've only used mine twice and am not happy with it. My house is old with old wiring. Cannot use at same time as microwave or I throw a breaker. Otherwise, it seems to be efficient for cooking, power wise.

All I know is that it cooks faster and I like the fact it will not destroy nutrients as a microwave can. I use it when it very hot in the summer and I can put this on my deck and not heat the kitchen with the range. If it cooks faster the electricity is on a shorter period of time, but then one has to compare the energy output versus to what one is comparing it, if you want to know if you are saving electricity. So in my humble opinion check the energy output of what you would use , calculate the time you have to use it then compare the same data to that of the convection oven. Hope this helps.

I don't have a problem with it. It could be a difference in heat depending on the particular setting. Remember broiling and toasting will give you more heat at the top. I love this toaster oven.

Anatoly, I live in Australia where we operate on 240watts and to make the toaster work I needed to purchase a step down transformer that basically stepped the wattage down from our local mains power to the 110watts needed by this toaster. This of course is an additional expense and more than doubled the overall cost. I have also found that the toaster doesn't work very well in that even at it's darkest setting the toast is barely browned. I suspect this is the result of trying to convert the power wattage. I would not recommend doing this. Carolyn

I run several tv's computers/laptops..fridge...big freezer...and depending on the season heat or AC...stovetop works well...not the oven..can't guarantee anything, but I have had no trouble.

according to the printed data provided with the bodum toaster, the u.s. electrical voltage is 120v/60hz; the nominal u.s. power is 940 watts.

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the speeds. If I were you, I'd just look at the power capacity and decide based on that. It's a great kitchen tool, for sure.

thats one way to look at it. i have my paper shredder, deep fryer and microwave plugged into them. the shredder and microwave use power just waiting for me to use them so i like them because they are handy and i don't have to reach for the cord to plug it back in.

I'm not sure of the wattage, but I have it plugged into a regular 110 wall outlet and it works great. I like this oven (makes great nachos! and the place down the street uses it to warm biscuit sandwiches that are delicious) but there's a couple of things to mention. It has a fairly loud timer beeper that seems very long... I think it's maybe 15 seconds? Apparently it is required for commercial use and there is no way to turn it off. There is a workaround- leaving the timer set to 'always on' and then turning on the heat as needed. This leaves the fan on continuously but the fan ball bearing is rated for 15,000 hours which is incredible. The biscuit place uses this method. We discovered that we actually really like the beeper because we have loud music and crowds. It's not annoying and helps the servers. The biscuit place is super tiny (3 tables and a 4 stool bar) that does mostly quiet breakfasts so I see why they leave it set to 'always on.' The other thing, and this is very minor, is that we make these huge nachos so chips and cheese get in the oven. When you wipe the stuff out it falls in the crack between the front door and the over and is a bit of a pain to get out. You have to put a finger in there and push it to the side. Overall I would definately recommend this oven. We've had no issues in 2 years of service.

You can operate any appliance up to 1500 watts. Check the oven and see how much power it uses. Unless it is very small, it is unlikely the transformer will have enough power, but doesn't cost anything to check.

We have used this oven 2-3 times daily for making toast or toasting sandwiches to melt the cheese. I am quite satisfied with the toaster part of this oven, your mileage may vary, especially if you are looking for a toaster oven that browns bread like a "uni-tasker" appliance. Although no toaster oven I've ever owned seems to get the browning the same on the top and bottom, this one is acceptable to me. My advice is, if what you really want is evenly toasted toast, buy a toaster. I like this toaster oven because of all the other things I can use it for.

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

I use my oven in my house. Whatever the standard voltage and amp is for a home seems to work fine as I've never had a problem. I run my big oven and this counter top oven at the same time with no problems.

It's a 1000W appliance w/ a continuous adjustment dial, but I cook mostly at less than halfway to maximum. You should size your breaker or inverter to the maximum wattage.

No. Think of a big toaster. It gets hot for a few minutes, but then it's done. I thnk for small things like single portions of frozen entree or toasting bread or rolls, this is a perfect gizmo, much less heat and energy than a big oven.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.

Yes. I use it for just heating up stuff and enjoy garlic bread. The toaster oven works great for the garlic bread and frozen potatoes. The one thing I did not like, but since have gotten use to, is that the fan stays on 10 to 15 minutes, for cooling, after the toaster oven is shut off.

Expect a power usage between 2W and 2.5W per device. Power usage will be on the high end of that range if you overclock your devices.
