7 amps seems like a lot. A sous vide maintains water at a set point, and I tend to doubt that takes much power once the water is hot (and most people start with hot water). I suspect it's more like 1 amp continuous.


You are making an assumption. It is rated at 800 watts so do the math.
Once it reaches temperature does it go to a lesser draw or does it
cycle the 800 watt heater off and on?
