Has anybody measured the amps that this unit draws? Or does the tag on the back of it list the amps or watts?

Tag on the back says 6.3amps so 110x6.3 is watts. So 693 watts. It's a great unit for us, great for a small room.

I have not looked into that information but know that you cannot go wrong with any one of these AC units. I have this one and one larger unit and it works great!

5000 amps or watts generator? I'm assuming that you mean watts. This unit will require about 20.9 amps of draw on a 240v circuit. If your generator produces 20.9 amps (Watts/voltage), then you can run this.

I checked last night. Power ratings are listed in the bottom of the product. It looks like it's 300 watts.

It draws 4 amps (48W) according to label. I have one and works great for us.

installed cant read it, but less than the heater for my 10 gallon one which draws 625 watts,which is close to 5 amps @ 110 volts AC

Measured Draw at 13.2volts is 2.4 Amps, just purchased the product in December and connected to a Voltage/ Amp draw meter and there is no initial "strong" draw, just constant draw at 2.4 amps, this unit is running off a battery storage unit, charge by solar panels, for my fish pond in my Aquaponics System

I don't know how many amps it draws. It is not listed in the specs. I cannot find the paperwork that came with it. I have not hard wired it in yet. I have it temporarily plugged into a heavy duty extension cord on a 30 amp outlet. It comes with a heavy duty cord , with a ground fault plug. When I hard wire it, it will be on a 20 amp circuit.

The other answer is correct about the unit draw being fairly low as compared to the heating element power draw. I actually measured mine and it came in at about 9.5 Amps instead of the 6.7 amps one would get using the standard DC based calculation. The heater runs on AC power and there is a power conversion factor based on the RMS voltage value for all AC circuits. If I remember right the power factor for 60hz AC is .707. This calculates closer to the 9.5 amps my meter is showing.

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

joseph I did not check with my amp meter, however is your application special need like low draw will ??? otherwise for RVporch and interior use the draw is very low and I really like for RV use hope it helps gene

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.

My advice ...don t buy it, regardless of watts. Mine quit working properly after 3 weeks. I ordered a replacement...same thing happened after 2 weeks!

I used a Killawatt unit to measure my new ADR30A2G. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day.

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

As others have said, it is 2 x 24 watt bulls, which would be 48 watts rated. I plug it into my Kill-A-Watt P3 and it reads 36 Watts actual consumption.

It has a 450 Watt rating. Got this info from the machine label and from the manual.

I suggest reviewing the manual and contacting the manufacturer. Are you actually drawing any load? You have to have a load connected to see any amp draw. Thanks.
