Dear Sandi, This model does have an energy efficient foam insulated cabinet and lid. The Energy Guide rating has it ranked about average with an estimated operating cost of about $23 a year at 215 kWh.

It can handle a decent amount. To be exact you would have to multiply the Amps and volts of each appliance to get the wattage it requires with use. For the appliances you stated my guess would be that it'd be fine.

It is a bit noisy, but this unit is by far the most used appliance I own. I haven't used my deep fryer sense I got my TurboFry, I don't even notice the noise anymore.

No I didn't notice anything about that. And I'm not sure how energy saving it is. I use it in a small bathroom.

My impression is that NO, this is a power source. It is used when one has a DC powered appliance and wants to use the appliance with AC power.

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.

No. My unit works well. We typically use it for 3 to 5 hours at a time to heat up our basement TV area.

I have had no problem, but I only run it for a few hours on low when i am in the room. It is a small room..I'm not sure that is a good idea, though.

They say that about most small appliances, but I have forgotten to turn it off and nothing happened, even when it boiled dry. It does have a light, though.

Yes. Its got a big Energy Star Sticker and I've noticed a decrease in my electrical bill in the 9 months its been operational.

I run the unit 24/7. That is what is recommended in the owners manual. The unit has a very low power consumption and I would like to get the maximum benefit possible. It is small and therefore portable,so it can be rotated room to room.

No. I believe it's much less than that, the one negative to this unit. Turns out i am using over an electric cook top instead of gas.

Absolutely , Yes. Be sure to clean/ vacuum out your cabinet and hose off your coils while you have the power off and the cabinet open.It will most certainly run more efficient.

I checked with my kilowatt, this appliance consumes 215w/1.73a when actively heating.

I don't know if it is an energy efficient product or not...but from what I have read a lot of companies will put a small motor in so it WILL be energy efficient, but as it is a smaller motor, it will make more noise (humming etc). This fan is pretty quiet which is my main concern as it is in my bedroom and I keep it on at night. I think you really have a choice between quiet and energy efficient but not both. I think for the most part they are all fairly efficient with not a big range of difference.. My two cents anyway !
