Is it energy efficient?

There is an energy efficient button included. They also include a themostat so it can be set to a specific temperature. I like this product and believe that it is as energy efficient as they come. Hope that helps Billie.

It runs at 1500w. From my prospective it eats up too much electricity bc there are some heater just costs as low as 600w with similar output

It doesn't require electricity. I bought it for my daughter and she loves it.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No. As Andrew Agustin mentioned, this is a processor meant for energy savings (think of a school, library, or office setting). I use it to power a small file server and though it runs just fine, if I use it as a regular desktop and try to browse the internet while streaming music it will shoot to around or over 50% utilization (idle runs at 10-20%). The OS installed is Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center (thanks to an academic license, which is just plain idiotic to give away as that OS retails for around $1,000 easy).

In my opinion, yes. I use it for a printer. I may use the computer the whole day but I do not need to have the printer on all time. The same token to save power, I use it with other appliances such as a toaster oven, microwave, etc. It may be a very small amount that you may be saving on your electricity bills. But it adds up in along run and not to mention savings energy!

I'm sitting here in my room writing this while the unit is on, and I'm cooling down after sweltering in 90+ degree heat that the rest of the house is melting in. So, I'd say the unit is very efficient. This is my second summer with it and it hasn't disappointed me yet.

Yes. It's easy to move around, although obviously somewhat limited by the need to keep it plugged in to a nearby socket. The unit is actually quite light, too.

Not sure I totally understand the questionYes it is fairly lo energy- my electric bill definitely went down a couple dollars when I got it. It is movable, but not so portable- not usable outdoors, and once it is set up, well it has wheels, but it does need to be vented, so it is rather fixed in position while runningHope this helps

I'd like to know this also. My understanding is anything induction-charged isn't very energy efficient. Convenient and safe, yes, but not energy efficient.

Kind of... it gets really hot while playing, but the solution to this is an boost of the device function by some kind of integrated software which speeds the fan up. Now I'm not sure about its impact in energy consumption, but I have to say it works pretty well.

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

Yes it is. Assuming you don't run it from a USB hub as possibly won't have enough power then.

Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat. I set the temp (indicated on the LCD display) when the thermostat reaches that temp it turns off the compressor and only the fan keeps working. Has worked flawlessly in this regard. I set it to 74 degrees indicated, for example, and the AC compressor turns off.Another way you can save energy is by setting the timer (in increments of one hour). The entire unit turns off after reaching the designated hours used. (There's no clock timer.) I have the unit set up by my bed. On hot nights I go to bed, set the temp, and timer. When I'm asleep two hours later, for example, the machine turns off. Yes it has energy saving functions. And it works very well. I have become very reliant on the thermostat.

It uses a reasonable amount of electricity. Last winter I went from oil heat to electricity only and my electric bill was less than 3 times the previous year during the coldest winter months here in New England.

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?
1972907
Yes....And It does have an energy saving feature if there is no draw on it it automatically shuts off.

Yes ...cause you can use it on low and won't have to use the full power of the air conditioning unit... I went from a 8000 but to a 12000btu and on the hottest day its on low plus I keep it on Energy saving mode and I love it ;-) less stress on the unit = a longer usage :-)

It wasn't originally designed to be a server, but you can turn it in to one. It doesn't use much power, so your energy bill won't go through the roof!
