how many watts is it?

1 Watt = 1 Volt x 1 Amp ..... Amazon says 3.9 Amps so 120VAC x 3.9 Amps = 468 Watts ... From an electricity bill viewpoint that is 0.5 kW per hour while running. It is an inductive load so it is more complicated than that but it is a good estimate.

468 Volt-amps with a .85 PF ought to consume about 400W/hr. Power companies usually charge more in the summer months than winter, as high as 14c/KWH (including taxes). So, youre looking at 5.6 cents/hr. It would be interesting to know how many degrees cooler it maintains your attic. If a 10% drop in the difference between attic and interior temperatures, then expect a 10% drop in heat gain (BTU's per hour)

I really don't notice any spike in my electric bill 3.9 amps is full load amps not constant running so it pulls less

From manufacturer spec ; max current is 3.9 amps. Watts=voltage x current; 120v x3.9amps = 1825 watts

As noted before, 3.9A x 120V = <500W. Cost to run is more than offset by reduced air conditioning load, IMHO. I installed four of these in two dormitory buildings in Nicaragua. Working great for about a year now, no problems.

Thank you for asking. I was wondering, since the listing currently says it's both 120 watts and "low wattage" (?)

750 watts. But don't buy it, it's junk. Mine broke after 8 months and there is no warranty.

Not sure how many watts, but sounds great. Use it by the pool, purchased a second one for my office and take it with me when I travel.

I don't recall. I don't own it anymore as mine fell off a shelf and broke. I believe it's only about 1 or 2 watts, but it gets pretty loud for such a small amp. I really liked it except for the fact that it was top-heavy and tipped often.

At 120V AC and 1.8 amps, it would be 216 watts. (volts x amps = watts). Mine has the Amps and volts on the label, but not the watts. I just did the math.

I put a video on here about this junk.... it's 30 watts. For some reason they removed the video

It's 3.5 watts. Amazon sells a replacement bulb, which I have on my wish list, but I haven't needed it and I've been using mine for about 2 years.

It is 1040 watts, it isn't as good as the previous West Bend one that I had that was 30 years old! It is also very noisy.

I dont have the box anymore, but I think it is 500W. To be honest I am not happy with this product. It is very flimsy and very very slow to heat up. Takes a very long time to even boil a liter of water!!

700 watts. Roughly 2/3s the power of a normal kitchen microwave. It's low, but I have never found it to be a problem for my use. YMMV

Not sure of actual watts . It is a standard cord ( like on a lamp) I hope this helps.

250 watts according to my directions book. You will love it. I use mine every day! Jerry

I honestly do not know how many watts it is, but it's pretty powerful. It takes 2 AA batteries.
