Hopper and Joey Energy Usage

[3HaloODST]

Since I already had the Kill-A-Watt out, i plugged it into the other hopper and it ran 37W on average. About a watt less than the other one. Pretty consistent.

Did anyone else check their system just to get some extra verification?

I used the P4400 Kill A Watt for mine.

I have a P4460 but I'm kinda lazy, especially when it comes to accessing wires that are stuffed away behind furniture. I also need to get something like this : Amazon.com: SF Cable, 3ft 16 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord (NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P): Electronics to make it more manageable. I'll see if I can't muster up the will to dive into the hive sooner or later.

Found this doing a search, and thought Id add my results for someone looking in the future. I need a new UPS for my second Hopper and was curious of the wattage.

Recording 4 things at once and "on" (42 to 43.5 watts).

Thanks for sharing that info.Does anyone know what the 722/612 and 922 average?

My "new" 612 uses 38 watts plugged in. 39 on and 40 recording.

From reading this thread it would seem that the Hopper is about the same. Whereas the 722 is closer to 50 watts, gag!
