360 watts this machine uses. Current it pulls is 3.0 A times the Voltage which is 120V. So, 3 x 120 = 360.

In general, appliances can be used on an auxiliary power generator such as a gas, diesel or propane powered generator. A generator can generally be used as long as it can provide the proper voltage (120V or 240V), frequency (hertz), and can supply enough power to the appliance. Generators are usually rated in watts, so “sizing” a generator means that you'll need one with enough watts to power what you plug into it. In general, appliances can be used on an auxiliary power generator such as a gas, diesel or propane powered generator. A power inverter generator is an electronic method of producing alternating current (AC) from direct current (DC). It draws power from a power source such as a car battery or solar panel and uses an electronic circuit to “invert” the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). A generator can generally be used as long as it can provide the proper voltage (120V or 240V), frequency (hertz), and can supply enough power to the appliance. Generators are usually rated in watts, so “sizing” a generator means that you'll need one with enough watts to power what you plug into it. We do not make recommendations on the brand, type or size of generator you will need. We do not specifically test our appliances for use on generators such as gas or inverter powered generators. However, we can provide the rated power consumption of our appliances so that you can determine if the generator size is adequate. You will find this information in the specifications for your model or on the appliance rating plate. Appliance Power Consumption: The rated power for an appliance is on the rating plating that also has your appliance’s model and serial number. The rating plate often lists the power in amps instead of watts. Find the watts by using the AMPS x VOLTS = WATTS equation. If you cannot determine the rated and/or surge amps from the online product specifications or rating plate, then make sure you have enough power to cover the minimum breaker size. We hope this helps.
