How many watts is the unit using depending on High, Medium, Low? I presume High is 1500 watts but I can't find any information regarding this.

I did some research on oil filled portable heaters before I bought the DeLonghi. The highest setting is 1500 watts, the medium setting is 1000 watts and the minimum setting is 500 watts. I am very pleased with this heater. I use it in the unfinished part of my basement and it keeps the temperature actually where I set it. Remember, if your power goes off, you must reset the heater. Hope this helped.

1500 watts. Can get a medium-size pot of water boiling in less than 10 minutes. Quite pleased with the unit. Particularly like the double-safe ON/OFF system -- "off" on the temperature knob, or the the on/off rocker switch.

The unit draws 17 watts. Unless you have a flat bottom cup this thing won't work very well.

What wattage is the low heat? Does it pull less than 1500 watts? Thanks for your help!! :)

I no longer have the info that came with the heater, but as I recall the wattage was something like 750 and 1500. The lower setting works just fine for me.

The wattage is 1600 Watts. You can use it on any 15 amp outlet in your home, providing nothing else is running simultaneously. I have had no problems using this in my kitchen I make sure other items on that circuit aren't running or are unplugged, because it will draw close to 15 amps.

It's an amp, it's connected to 120. Consumes 260 on max use. And provides u 150x7w. Makes sense to me ;)

According to the book that I have, it says 1800 watts. Hope this helps you somehow.

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.

It (was) 1300 Watts. But I would not recomend the Item anymore . It worked fine for less than one year and the little Knop on the Handle (connection) broke. then the heating element broke also.( I was told by the Company to ship it back in the Original !! box) Repair is more $$ then what i paid for. I bought a similar one (less $$ ) at an Aldis Store. And it works fine. Also 1300 Watts. Hope that helps ? good luck

The unit is rated as 1800 watts. That means that its peak load will be 15 amps r.m.s.(1800 watts divided by 120 volts).

This unit is rated at only 500 watts. Using an 850 watt steamer will overheat it or blow the fuse. Look for a 1500 watt unit by the same manufacturer. It is not much more expensive but will have plenty of power for anything you need. My 500 watt unit has been very good. But you should know that these units are heavy and bulky.

1500w if I remember correctly. Ours has been returned for the 3rd time and we still don't have it. Their service to the customer is horrible. If you happen to get an operable one, and it stays operable, they do a good job.

All I can say is how I use it. I use it daily for 4 hrs constantly on a unit that demands 2500 watts. I don't have any issues to date. I hope this helps you.

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.
