The product manual is on Amazon and says 120 volts, 0.52 amp (i.e., about

That's 63 VA

NOT WATTS !

Jeez, talk about beginner's mistakes.


Not a mistake, a simplifying assumption. We don't know the phase
relationship between the voltage and the current. The power is 63 W or
less, we don't know how much less. Nor do we know why he wants to know the
power, or whether he's actually concerned about power limits or current
limits.
