why does it say 1000 watts peak on here but on all other site it say 1500 watts can some one tell me why?

What they said. Peak power is almost irrelevant. RMS rating is what you want to pay attention to. This sub has a minimum rms of 150 watts and a max of 500 watts, so be sure that whatever you're powering it with, falls within that range.

I wouldn't worry too much about the peak watts, it's all about the RMS power which is 500 watts and thats pretty decent

On mine with 450watts it is showing about 22% usage, if linear them 1200 should show about @66%. I don't know if linear, personally I'd opt for a larger unit.

I'm using it on a wall mounted that's rated at 1,480 watts. I believe this model is only rated for 1600 watts. Check Intermatic's website for another model with a higher rating. It may be discontinued so you'll have to find a used one like i did. Hope that helps.

I think the name plate watts are 800. Check the name plate one more time. think they are well within your usage

I'm sorry, I'm nt sure since it doesn't say anywhere.I assume you can go up to 100 watts no problem, but to be safe, I would do 60 watts.

It IS pretty darn weird that there is NO documentation on the unit's wattage ...online or in the manual. But I finally resorted to tipping mine back far enough to read the plate on the bottom, and it is says 1350W. I knew it had to be no more than 1500W or it couldn't be advertised for a standard household outlet. In any event, since you don't leave this unit turned on once you've made your coffee, it should affect your electric bill less than a standard drip coffee pot that stays on to keep the pot warm.

Watts are calculated from voltage and amps. The output wattage would depend on the current (amps) being drawn. If your load is 1 amp, the device will "push out" 120watts. Unless you have something drawing 5 amps all the time, the device won't provide 600watts

I see that Jake has answered your question. It should also be pointed out that the expected peak wattage is dependent upon the altitude that the unit operates at. Mine is at about 5200 feet and I have tested it to a little over 5000 watts. Not sure of the peak, but generac should be able to provide that.

They should always show the watts that it's rated to handle. The fact they provided a page of useless description but left out something important makes it suspicious to me.

So the actual power is only 200W, not 300W. Your guys just cheating us on this listing!!!

According to the sticker on the base of the blender, it is rated 120 VAC, 5 Amps so no, it wouldn't be rated at 1000 watts - more like 600 max.

Mine is coming in at 109 watts. So they are not the 125 watt they are saying, but still seems to be working well.

It's rated at 1875 watts, but I suggest you check out my review prior to your purchase. My review is the 1st one on the list (at least today, on Amazon), it's a 1 star review, my name is "Robert", and it's from 11/17/11. Most other reviews are favorable, it was simply my own experience....

The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

Its really 1200 watts because its C.e.a. certified on the box. They only put that on if it passes the testing they do on it for power. I have the same one at 1ohm and it sounds amazing i have no complaints so far.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion.
