It's marketing nonsense. (Hmm, that's redundant, isn't it?) Find the nameplate, and get the actual current draw from that. | |

Also, we don't know if there is an internal regulator/resistor/divider/transformer/etc. that makes the motor/internal parts a lower wattage, but it still uses 12 amps. Like @CamilStaps said, it could be a max and average, but I think that would be stupid of them to put it there and not label it max/average. | |

The power consumption is an average, because you need an average to calculate how many energy it's going to consume hence how much the device will cost. | |
