If you are talking about the low power usage, 460w is normal for these units.
I turned it on and clicked the set-point up 1 deg C above room temp.
It came on and after about 30 seconds the power started to increase.
About 10 watts every 2 or 3 seconds. After hitting a peak of 1400w,
it started stepping down.. About 10 watts every 2 or 3 seconds,
unit it got to 460w, where it sat, until the room got warmer.
Normal for these units

If you are asking about the IDU location, (close to the floor)
then you should go back to page 1 and read my first post. (The last half).

So far, it seems like mounting the IDU down low works pretty well for heating.
I like being able to aim the warm air right at the floor in the center of the room.

I also really like this location, because I can hardly hear it running.
When it's using under 500w, it's so quite, I can hear the TV without any problem.
The stupid refrigerator in the kitchen makes more noise than the Sanyos.
(You can just see the fridge, behind the hinge of the French door above).
