does it take a lot of electricity to run?

I'm sorry, it was a gift to my brother so I can't be sure. However, he says it cooks in just 5 minutes and it plugs into a normal wall outlet, so I can't imagine that it uses an enormous amount. You might try connecting with the company directly. Good luck!Linda

Rated at 600 watts , It takes .6 kWh to run for an hour. That's slightly over a half a kilowatt hour. That's how you buy electricity by the kWh. You need to know how much you pay for electricity to know what it would cost you to run. But, for example. If electricity in your area is .13 a kWh it would cost you about one half a kWh or one half of .13 , which is .065 cents to run this appliance for a whole hour. Since you use it for 5 minutes to make 1 sandwich, the cost to make one sandwich is negligible. Put a different way. It would cost .065 cents (slightly over a nickel) to make 12 sandwiches.

I don't think so because you are only using 5 min of cooking time per sandwich verses baking a big turkey for 5 hours in the oven. It is similar useage to the hair dryer or less. I dont think 5 min will charge you alot of electricity compare to the heater or anything around you. Hope my answer help.

I'm not sure. You plug it in a normal wall socket for about 5 minutes to warm, then it cooks for about 5 minutes, then you unplug it when you're done. In total it's roughly about 10 minutes in your average wall socket.

The run time depends on the amount of watts being used and the amount of wattage being put into your battery.

Yes you can run small steady state energy eaters from 900 watt system. Which the start-up however. Add the equipment one at time to avoid a in-rush surge.

The fan runs on electricity regardless of it being plugged in or battery powered....both the household outlet and batteries use electricity to power appliances.

It doesn't seem to require excessive power. Ours is pretty basic and it works fine.

No. You would need a dummy load for that, something that would draw a lot of current without burning up.

Yes I run it on a regular home outlet. Nothing special is required but it does use a good amount of power so if you have a lot of other electronics on the same circuit you may trip the power.

You should have no issues running those items .worst case,you would run at full power.I run my Satellite,Tv,Bose sorroind sound and refrig on low power.The only thing I cant run is the AC..

Not sure how one could find out power use with everthing elese running in house.

It is not solar powered, must use electrical outlet to run. The cord is not very long unfortunately.

I rarely run it on battery, but in high performance mode, (not energy saving) I got 3+ hours out of it and then I ended up plugging it in for another reason.

Yes very easily. I have much more than that running through mine. If you connect it to a large battery bank you can even play / watch said items for hours on end through it. I use mine as a primary source of power for my entire RV.Hope this helps!

Not sure I totally understand the question Yes 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 running Hope this helps

Not really sure about the power. Mine ran constantly. I did not use the drain hose bc it was too short but there is one included. Next season I was going to rig something fir constant draining.

Yes, but it depends on outside temperature and how well the building is insulated and air sealed. It's 5600 watts or 19000 BTU, that's quit a bit. It's going to use more electricity!

It runs 24/7. It doesn't have a switch. It uses about the same amount of electricity as a night light.

No...and it needs a source of power so unless u gonna carry around a small generator it won't work as cool.... (I like that idea tho)
