The one in mine says 900w. When we had those two weeks of constant below zero I would leave mine plugged in all night and it would be at operating temp in the morning. 
I found out it does start very easy (like 4 revolutions and its running just rough) at -10 with no grid heaters or block heater, very happy about that. The night before I plugged the truck in but not the cord going to it in the house.

I knew right away when I saw it billowing gray smoke. My car wouldn't start in that weather and it came from way up north, go figure.
It also has a 600w block heater but I was afraid it would get the coolant to hot and warp the head, its a bmw and some parts are kinda pricey. Well actually parts cost about the same as my truck but still I don't feel like working on it.
