It can also peg around 450-480 watts periodically when settling down from medium to low or when first kicking into low when the compressor surges, and then levels out at around 250-300 watts.
Medium is pretty capable of bringing my living room/kitchen area which is around 400sq ft or so I'd say with other rooms doors shut, from 85 degrees to 76 or so within 30 minutes to an hour.
YMMV depending on your area, it's generally in the high 70's to low 80's outdoor temps here at the moment, but it can reach 95+ in the middle of summer, so I can't comment on those sorts of conditions just yet.
Fan speed settings more or less control compressor load along with it on these units. If you set the fan to low, expect the 250-300 watt load range, medium upper 700 watt range, high over 1K watts. So you can't have for instance just the fan on low and the compressor running at full load, or the fan on high and the compressor at its lowest load, these aren't actually 'smart'. Ceiling fans or floor standing fans will certainly help to distribute the cold air throughout more than one area/room.
Since temps aren't that high yet I generally just have mine in low all the time with continuous fan mode, so when the compressor turns off entirely, the fan still runs at a load of 10 to 12 watts to help with any moisture accumulation in the tank.
If my asshole cats unplug it and the house heats up into the mid 80's I'll run it on medium until it gets down to 76-77 and switch it back to low.
When I get it plugged in again I'll correct any errors I might have made, I put a U-shaped window unit in the living room cause I'm less concerned about my cats messing with that, and will be moving the portable to my bedroom and can recheck the load then.

I bought this from Costco recently and if your window isn't too tall (check specs) you'll be able to install on a slider window. Little bit of a chore but easier with someone else's help for just one step.

Woot has the heat version on sale for $300. But that's with pretty much no warranty. Also looking up that model number MAP14AHS1TWT I'm seeing wattage rating of 1300 watts. Is that right for an inverter model? Seems high. Considering I'd mostly just use this in a power outage, and it'd be running off a generator.
however supposedly inverter ones (like this one) do have different wattages for their compressors and can use less electricity when running on low/med/high. so yes, this should have different wattage use ... but who knows ...

As it seems many are not paying attention...
I just received mine earlier today. Wanted to give a quick first impression and my own wattage test...
First off: It showed up looking brand spanking new. All box inserts were there, remote and instructions still wrapped in original plastic. Just a hint of scuffing on the corner of main unit. You have to look to find it. Pretty sure this thing is completely new.
Took my ecoflow delta 2 and plugged the AC in. I hit power, the unit was already set to high so I started with that. The unit surged its way slowly up to about 1150 watts. and that's roughly where it stayed. Between 1050 and 1150. Boy did it put out some cold air. That fan really blew some cold AC. It was loud. But not annoyingly loud. At least not to me. Felt it could legitimately be used to cool a large living room. Next tried medium. Got about 650-750 watts and still substantial cooling. Last and most importantly tested low. Started at about 350-450 watts, then settling down to nice 220-250 continous load. Very low white noise. Still putting out a modest amount of AC with a much lower fan. Very VERY pleased with these numbers. Figure in an outage, I could run full blast for a while on a small generator. Then run while sleeping on low with 2kw ecoflow for a room for the family to sleep. Exactly what I was looking for. What a bargain at $212. Only wish it was lighter
Now, we'll see if Walmart can ship it to me in one piece! Cheers.

Where I am at, I need the both AC and Heat. I'd love to grab one that has newer inverter tech, with heat.
Does anybody know if there any out there for a reasonable price?
