Heater running at 1600 watts Discussion ThreadHeater running at 1600 watts Electrical Advice

I recently purchased a space heater and before using it full time I plugged in my watt meter to see how many watts and amps it pulled. I was not happy to see 1600 watts at 13.1 amps which is above code I believe. Should I return it? It seems unsafe to run for 8 hours or so on high
