What is the energy rating for this device please? Does this device use a lot of electric?

It uses 1500 watts at 120 vac. in other words, if you ran it for 1 hour, it would use 1.5 KWH. Where I live a KWH costs around 7.5 cents. So if I ran it for 8 hours a day it would cost around 60 cents a day.

Rob- Sorry, But Can't Help You. I Purchased the Heater About a Year ago and Have Given it to a Good Friend. Myself, After trying the Heater Out, I Was "VERY EMPRESSED" !!!. It was the Best Heater We Found, to Heat My Friends Garage, for Our Weekly Card Game. Hope It Helps ? Take care Ken

I do not know the rating, but I've been told that it does use as much energy as a central system heating my whole house. I will say this - it does FEEL better to have more direct heat from the Ambia.

No does not use a lot of electric but when u wet the pad underneath with oil it does not last long. Not too happy with it.

No its powered all the time. Has a surge protector too. I have two and will be getting more.

I don't know a number, but if you have central heat, it will be more efficient than this heater, which is also electric. I did not get to keep mine long enough to find out if it was efficient. It quit working in less than a month, and they sent me a replacement part. I am not an electrician, so I couldn't repair the unit.

we just blew it up when we had people staying with us. We kept it plugged in for the most part but I don't think you would have to. I don't imagine it uses much electricity but I don't really know.

As far as I know it is just a 110 volt but I'm not an electrification, I'm more of the kind to buy and plug in. I do know that this is an excellent streaming device as well as a DVD and Blueray player for the price you can't beat it. Hope that was helpfull.

I am not sure on you question, but it runs on 110-120 volt outlet. As far as the usage I would just base it off of the specs of the pump rating. I do run the pump 24:7 and it is not to noticeable on my electric bill.

not a lot, I have one running 24/7. I have it on a pretty basic power strip. No issues so far, and my entire fish tank (air pumps, lights and filters) use very little energy.

The device uses an external power supply. If you have needs other than 110V, you'll have to supply you own.

Hi, It really isn't electric in the usual sense. It generates a very small amount of "solar" like electricity that stimulates the skin. As you use it, the device has a small solar panel that creates a micro amount of electric stimulation which is barely if at all noticeable. It does not store any kind of power. My wife has used it every day since she received it and it really has satisfied her expectations. I've played with it and just as a massage device on sore muscles is awesome! It is unique.

I can't really say. It seems reasonable and we used it a lot. Probably raised my electric as much as 50-60 in the cold times when it was running a lot. My mother in law was living with me up until recently and she's an electricity hog so I can't narrow down too well. :-)

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

It takes 12.5 amps. And has 1500 watts, being used in MN. During early spring and winter.. Electric is not expensive here.

The device reads that it outputs 4.75 amps and 90 watts max. It has powered anything I've thrown at it including my iPad (which requires a fair amount of output).

I just bought a space saver 6. I use a Kill-a-Watt device to measure the power consumption. It is around 40 watt per hour.
