Customer Reviews

Handy little gadget
This tool will answer power consumption questions eg Should I leave the computer on when I'm not using it? Or, How much electricity does my TV use when it's on or when it's off? (They need to make one for 220 volt use also. This is limited to 15 amps at 115 volt appliances.)

Works but awkward
The meter works as advertised and gives the the data I want, but it is unnecessarily awkward and difficult to use. Its not obvious from the photo that the other electrical connection is on the back and will block both sockets in an electrical outlet. The rear plug stands out from the back, so if you use an extension cord, the device won't lie flat nor stand up. The final annoyance is that the device has no memory if it is disconnected. The idea is to get the accumulated electricity use over a day or week, but if the device get disconnected from the wall socket or extension cord while wrestling with its awkwardness, all the counters reset to zero.

Next time need a product like this, I will look for a different device.

Excellent little gadget
This thing works amazing if you are looking for power hungry gadgets in standby or are just curious how much power a device uses

+ Inexpensive
+ Measures pretty much anything you could imagine, including Power Factor, which in helpful in adjusting the PF for your entire house
+ Actual kWh measurement is really helpful to easily calculate the monthly or yearly cost of a gadget
+ Very simple to use

- Screen definitely needs a backlight of some sort, trust me you will need a flashlight
- A battery backup would be nice, but not necessary, to store some information
