“How many watts/hour does this unit use? I am thinking of getting one and trying to figure out what kind of gas generator to get in case the power goes out. We have a lot of outages where I live.”

• It pulls 1 amp normally, about 3-4 amps when the compressor starts up. So about 120 watts continous operation. I can run this freezer(1amp), 20 cubic ft Insignia fridge/freezer(2amp), and GE 5000btu window A/C(4amp) easily on my Honda 2200 inverter/generator. I put the freezer and fridge on one 20 amp breaker and the A/C on another 20 amp breaker. So even startup amp surges wont trip the inverter/generator breakers.
