Re: “My 'off the top of my head' was 6500 divide by 100 for max amps of 6.5.”
You'd better do the math again, Zimbler. micro got that part right. He's just wrong on the theory.

My purchase will draw 771 watts, not 6500. Even 771 struck us as a lot. My wife pointed out that it uses significantly more energy than the competing Quiet Cool ES-5400. But it's $400 less expensive and more powerful. My stingy wallet made the decision for me and went with the Centric Air fan.

Now, back to your math. 6500 divided by 100 is 65, not 6.5.

Micro > 105 watts equals one amp. 6500 wats equals almost 62 amps of electric being used when that thing is running..


Typed faster than your brain Boss?
Try 6.2 amps.

My 'off the top of my head' was 6500 divide by 100 for
max amps of 6.5.
